More than Enough
I’ve lived through what feels like the worst case of self-rejection imaginable.
I’ve lived through what feels like the worst case of self-rejection imaginable.
I became a master of hiding. It was my art form, my refuge, my prison. And in a strange twist of grace, it is now my greatest honor to guide others out of the shadows and into the radiant truth of who they really are.
The Anatomy of Hiding
We are born into greatness. As children, we embody it without question, we dance, sing, create, and speak from the depths of our imaginations. Until… we’re told to sit down, be quiet, and fit in.
And so, we dim.
We learn to perform, to please, to become what we believe the world wants of us. Not surprisingly, we grow up feeling like we’re not enough because we are not being enough of ourselves.
I tried to chase enoughness.
First through academic achievement, I earned a doctorate, thinking my value would be found there. It wasn’t.
Then I chased impossible challenges, took on roles that demanded everything I had and more. Still, I felt hollow.
The Starvation of the Soul
I have given endlessly to others, trying to earn the feeling of fullness. But when you’re hiding your own truth, nothing fills you. You starve. Not for food, but for freedom. For authenticity. For the divine, unapologetic expression of your true self.
But for this pain, I am grateful.
Because I have walked the road of denial and return. I now know how to meet others where they are and help them rise—not with shame, but with reverence for the sacredness of their story.
A Living Invitation
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering yourself.
What would happen if today you chose to believe you are already more than enough?
What would happen if you decided to prioritize creating your business, creating your creativity, or creating your devotion to your own greatness?
Not once. Not someday. Every. Single. Day.
The Sacred Invitation to Come Out of Hiding
There comes a moment when hiding becomes more painful than revealing. When the mask no longer fits, and the weight of suppression starts to feel heavier than the fear of being seen.
I want to invite you gently, fiercely, to come out of hiding.
You see, all the things we chase in life, success, connection, recognition, love, stability are often subtle stand-ins for something deeper: the yearning to fully express who we are. Not just perform, not just produce, but to express. Freely. Authentically. Without reservation.
There is a power within you. A creative, intelligent, devoted energy that is not random—it’s sacred. And it is asking to be acknowledged, honored, and emerged from within you. Not so it can prove anything, but so it can simply be, and in doing so, transform everything.
When you allow this truth to rise, when you stop replacing it and start embodying it, it doesn’t just feed your soul. It creates ripples that feed your life.
You become a magnet for what’s real. Opportunities that honor your expression. Relationships that mirror your worth. Compensation that matches the weight of your impact. Emotional and spiritual rewards that no longer feel out of reach.
This isn’t just about being seen.
It’s about being seen for the right thing, for the truest thing. And letting that truth be what you build your life around.
That’s what devotion to yourself really is. That’s where satisfaction begins. That’s where freedom lives.
Are you ready to rise into the truth of who you are?
