Jealousy is one of the most toxic emotions we can hold. In the past, it paralyzed me. I've grown a ton from where I was, but I'm still on the journey, working with it as it comes up.

In 2015, I quit a corporate job with no plans other than to find my purpose and share my gifts. Learning what that work was, and how to support myself doing it has been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've done.

Do you ever wonder when you started saying to yourself, “I’m not good enough”?

For years we are trained to do things for the approval of others: get a good grade to make our parents happy, be attentive in class so teachers will like us, dress a particular way to be accepted.

There’s an alchemy to success: believe in ourselves and surround ourselves with others who believe in us. There’s no right order. The interconnected power of these steps is that if we lack one, the other can reinspire us.

If we embark on a spiritual journey, we’ll be met with shadows of our unconscious manifested as fears and limitations.
