Sometimes, it's not even about jealousy. Sometimes, you just don't even have a frame of reference for your own deservingness.
This was also me.
Doing excellent work for less than what was equitable. I wanted to “earn” my stripes in “the industry”. But the stripes I earned were deeper levels of poverty and hustling, giving away my high-quality effort and seeing everyone else (especially my clients) as more worthy than me.
This was backwards. Upside down. But it’s a big story in our paradigm.
This is why I believe so many women are on mission to help others raise their rates and break out of this matrix–this bogus story that some invisible industry god is requiring you to pay your dues to "the industry" before you can even think about affording to ethically receive the levels of equitable resources that are required to build sovereignty and sustainability.
If that's you, be kind to yourself for "missing the assignment". You can open your eyes now. See it all in front of you. It’s real. It’s possible. Be honest about what you can do. Own what you bring. Your equity is possible.
I hope this episode encourages you to keep going.

Carly Mountain, author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories and Embodying the Inanna Myth, joins the podcast to discuss the psychospiritual descent to soul and the wildly misunderstood sacred rites of passage that many women secretly experience. She emphasizes the importance of calling this wisdom back into the lives of women and normalizing the nature of both descent and rising as part of the feminine path. Carly explores the concept of sacrifice and the need to let go of certain aspects of ourselves in order to rise and embody our true selves. She also highlights the role of desire and pleasure in the journey of descent and rising, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate these transformative processes.
There's something that happens when we walk through a soul-level initiation: we discover that we may have extrasensory gifts. These gifts don't often feel like "gifts" at first. Sometimes they feel intense, like the veil is a bit thinner than we thought before. If you're like many people, you take to google to try and figure out what's happening to you. Perhaps you have dreams or premonitions about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps you feel more sensitive to other people and environments. These experience may sound cool and exciting, but they are not always pleasant. They come with a tax to the body. It doesn't always feel pleasant to perceive the mixing of many people's energetic cocktails through your one little body. It's not always fun to wake up from dreams that feel prophetic, but a have a tinge of fear or darkness that we may not feel comfortable holding or working with.
