Hey Joane, great question! Thanks for explaining that. It makes perfect sense. Intuition guides us toward alignment with our true selves, which I find really inspiring. Often, fear is just an illusion.
@MindSoulGritАй бұрын
Thank you so much! I’m glad the video resonated with you. 😊 You're absolutely right-intuition has this beautiful way of nudging us toward alignment with our authentic selves. And yes, fear can often feel so real but is ultimately an illusion we need to see through. It’s inspiring when we learn to trust that inner guidance more and recognise when fear is simply trying to hold us back.

You're very welcome. I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through, but it’s incredibly powerful that you’ve started recognizing the situation and taking steps to detach. Questioning your reality and sense of self can be such a painful experience, but it’s also where healing begins. Be gentle with yourself during this process-it’s okay to feel uncertain as you rebuild your sense of self. You’re stronger than you realize, and detachment is such a courageous step toward reclaiming your peace and clarity. Sending you lots of support on your journey!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I can really relate to that feeling of not quite belonging. I was born in Brazil to an American father, and my personality was always more aligned with his, which led to comments from my mother’s family that I was the 'adopted one.' While they didn’t mean it in a hurtful way, it left me feeling like I didn’t quite fit in. That sense of not belonging, especially when you’re straddling different cultural identities, can feel isolating. Over time, I’ve come to realize that these feelings often arise during major life changes that impact our sense of self, just as you’ve described. Moving to the UK helped me see that navigating these shifts is part of the journey to rebuilding our identity and embracing all parts of who we are, even if it takes time. It’s not always easy, but knowing that we’re not alone in this struggle can be comforting. Thanks again for sharing-I really appreciate the connection.

Excellent video! You have articulated this issue so well and I enjoyed this video.

@@MindSoulGrit I think we won’t be able to stop the male gaze in its tracks, but I do think that we can grow the female gaze by supporting each other in our power and performing to that power. I really think it begins with knowing and trusting ourselves and replacing the male gaze with higher version of ourselves and performing to that. The funny thing is that when men do exactly that, they become more attractive to us 🤔 Bit that’s just a generalization because I imagine that men like that prefer women like us, they’re just hard to come by.

I completely agree with you-while we might not be able to stop the male gaze entirely, growing the female gaze and embracing our own power is such a strong way forward. I love the idea of performing to that higher version of ourselves, and it’s so empowering when we stop seeking external validation and instead find it within. And yes, it’s interesting how self-aware, confident men can become more attractive when they embody those same qualities. It’s like the more we stand in our own truth, the more we attract people who are aligned with that energy, even if they’re hard to come by! It’s such a beautiful cycle of mutual empowerment, and I’m grateful we can have these kinds of conversations to uplift and inspire each other. 💪✨

I love this quote from Marianne Williamson : “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Love this! In my creative business sphere (voiceover) a lot of people position themselves as competitors to one another. A large pool of talent competing for a small number of jobs. I've always considered others as colleagues instead and often times refer work to other people I know. In my work, I like to believe that there is a single voice that's right for every project and that may not be my voice. As is the case, if I know someone who is a better fit, I'm happy to refer them instead. I like to think it shows I run my business with integrity (and it helps me sleep better at night lol).
