I sat on the sidelines, being the “good girl,” terrified I might offend someone with what I shared.
Sisters, you gotta know, I have been sitting there my whole bloody life.
When COVID hit and I realized the narrative was about driving fear and false information, I felt this call to rise up. It was as if I was made for it, as if I had trained my whole life for it. Humanity needed to be empowered to take full responsibility for their own health and well-being. Our communities were desperate for direction and guidance.
A robust immunity is the answer. This is my zone of genius.
So this longtime “good girl” led with caution and planning..
I sent my mama an email. I wanted to let her know what her “sweet girl” was up to, so she wouldn’t be caught off guard..
..and so I couldn’t be talked back down into silence.
“Dear mom,
I will no longer be the “good girl” sitting silently on the sidelines.
I will however, speak my Truth with kindness and grace.
(And that’s when I took on my moniker)
Love you,
Peaceful Warrior Goddess”
Dear mom,

(And that’s when I took on my moniker)
Love you,
Peaceful Warrior Goddess
(And then I adopted an icon); the golden heart - a symbol to remind me to let the love and Truth in my heart shine.💛
I am so proud of myself for having the courage..
to stand for..
to speak up..
to honor that calling.
When I drop into the fear, “what will people think?” “Look at me, too big for my britches,” PSD* anyone?!😜
I think to myself, whomever is offended by my burning desire to help lift the veil for one-and-all, doesn’t deserve my friendship!
I’ll still lace up my boots for you, stinkin’ naysayers, but your words can’t travel from the cheap seats to the arena, where yours truly, the Peaceful Warrior Goddess is speaking her Truth, so kindly buzz off!
It takes great courage to lead from lovingkindness with an open heart.
“There is no force greater than LOVE.”
There is no force greater than LOVE.💛
Who has traded bench time with the good girls for pioneering the possible? I want to connect. I want to know you. I want a sisterhood of Warrior Goddesses.
