Not too long ago, I would find myself BLASTING my thoughts on "social" media in a perpetually exhausted attempt to educate and help others understand what I understood. To help them know what I knew. To help them discover what I had discovered.

I always thought people wanted to know the truth. I presupposed that all of us were on this truth-finding-and-living-from journey. I truly believed that "if we knew better, we'd do better". So I naturally devoted my life to changing the world!

Activism became my preferred way of life.

Exhaustion became the natural and accepted byproduct.

And social media became the tool I would use to share my thoughts.

After many years of repeating this pattern, I finally came to conclude that the people I was blasting to simply didn't care. Not really. Not actually. Not enough.

Most people in those spaces showed disdain rather than curiosity, a clamping down on what they already believe to be true rather than to discover something new.

While most people simply ignored me, some would argue with me until the argument turned to hurling of personal insults. Those were always my favourite, because I knew they'd lost the "argument" and therefore I was right.

LOL, "dying to be right" comes to mind.

Because I was exhausted.

I was depleted.

I was resentful.

I was fed up.

So I "did a far braver thing ..."

I pulled the plug on my social media.

I stopped trying to convince anyone of anything.

I stopped pretending that people cared (more than they do).

I stopped trying to save anyone from themselves.

And then, something magical happened -- I found myself surrounded in intimate and life-changing relationship with women who deeply cared!

In fact, they cared so much that they chose to engage the hard work of self-reflection rather than clamp down on the status quo.

They chose to immerse themselves in vulnerable conversations that showcased their strength.

They chose to be in explorations that invited them to own their mind, reclaim their body, and live from their truth (not their trauma)!

How epic is that?!

Here's the thing -- there's a lot of noise out there, and it's getting louder. Noise about how we should act and what we should say and how we should say it. Noise about being "nice" and following the rules (who gets to make those up, anyway?!). Noise about the end of the world and "us vs them".

Noise that creates static; and static keeps us stagnant.

This is why I have chosen to leap into a different reality for myself. I have chosen the process of Decloaking rather than staying cloaked in a false sense of security.

The truth of it is:

social media is designed to keep up distracted in the endless sea of noise of contradictory opinions -- the more polarizing, the better.
cultural conditioning is designed to keep us distracted on drama and trauma so we don't pay attention to our internal cues -- aka where the Truth lives and thrives!
living from your Truth is a process that will undoubtedly transform your life -- the double edged sword that cuts either way. Its terrifying to own it, and it is profoundly liberating.

What I've come to discover is that the internal struggle I faced for years was only necessary to get me to pay attention to what wasn't working. It simply wasn't worth it for me to keep depleting myself for the sake of trying to change a person / system / reality that did not want to change.

I get it -- it's hard work to change. You really have to want it ...

And if you do, then I invite you to:
