Where is the line between your story of success and the stories you see floating around on the internet? What does it look like for you to come home to your true desires and your experience in the creative process? What would it look like for you to clear your channels of the noise of voices gathering like a barrage at the door of your vision? Do you truly want it all? Or are your true desires more subtle? Finer? Specific?
I recognized that being a Strategist wasn’t a purpose of mine, it was just my ego taking over and it became clear to me that I am here to be myself. My value proposition is to hold space for creatives to breathe in their process, to have an expanded capacity. I’m not going to run away from the unfolding that’s happening in my life; I surrender to the seed of desires in my heart.
“I am no longer defined by external standards of what success should look like or what I think I should be.” [16:43]
In this episode of the Brave School Podcast, I dive deep into some of the lessons 2021 taught me and what I’m embracing in 2022. I am committed to being in integrity with what my soul is here to do this year. Now I know I’ve come here to share the seed of my desires, and I need to be in my authority and move past the ego of being shy and small and into being bold and big. I am not here to have it all, I’m here to have the life that is the most resonating and reflective of my soul’s deepest desires. The deep desires, unlike external desires, they’re the desires that drive you to create, which is what I’m surrendering to reach mysticism.
“I am committed to being in integrity with what my soul is here to do.” [18:39]
The archetype of the mountain is about the real jewel that’s inside the mountain – to go up you must go in. You have to stop looking outward or the way other people are doing it to fulfill you. Find joy, celebration, and neutrality when you see other people experiencing their life and in their entrepreneurial journey. Then, turn inward without using their metrics as a barometer for your success.
“I’m here to have the life that is the most resonate and reflective of my soul’s deepest desires.” [26:48]
How are you setting yourself up to explore in the spring? How is the ecosystem of your soul doing? Are you exercising spiritual hygiene? What is your internal and relational ecosystem right now? Are you setting up the right modalities for your desires to happen at the right time? You have to allow your desires to happen by creating the containers that will allow you to birth them into your life. It is time to surrender to the seed of your desire by getting low and going in instead of pursuing the isolating path up the mountain.
How are the energies of January supporting the work you’re here to do on the inside? I invite you to see the seed of your desire as good and define the courage to decern the difference between your ego’s path and your heart’s path.

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.
