Reframing the Past: From Loss to Becoming

This morning on my walk, I had one of those quiet, click-into-place moments.

Not an epiphany. Not a download.
More like… a soft, steady reframe.

I started thinking about the past — not just the big moments, but how I’ve carried them.
How I’ve defined myself by what I lost, what didn’t work, what I had to let go of.

But something shifted.

Stepping Into the Self-Concept Before It’s Yours

I remembered taking a job in 2010 as an adjunct instructor at a college.

It was supposed to be a side gig.
But I fell in love with it.
And before long, I wasn’t showing up like a side gig—I was showing up like someone who belonged.

Even before the full-time job was mine, I acted like it already was.

Not because I’d studied Neville or knew how manifestation worked.
But because something in me already knew who I was becoming.

And it worked. I got the full-time position.

Then, unexpectedly, I became the dean.

I didn’t chase that role. I resisted it, actually.
But somewhere deep down, I was already living in the self-concept of a leader.

That’s why my colleagues encouraged me.
That’s why they wrote me letters of recommendation.
That’s why the hiring conversation was barely a conversation at all.

Because when you already are, there’s not much left to prove.

Finding the Design in Unexpected Endings

Fast forward. I held that role for eight years.

Then came the restructuring. The layoffs. The end of the chapter.

I was angry.

Twelve years of service — just gone.

But now I can see the full design.

Working from home let me sell my house at the peak and move to a place I love.
The hurricane that followed? Missed me entirely.

The skills I developed during those years?
They shaped me into a teacher, a leader, a creator, and a better human.

None of it was wasted.
I see that now.

Standing at the Edge of a New Reality

And here I am — standing at the edge of something new again.

Running a business I believe in, with the person I love most.
Helping people awaken. Helping them rewrite their stories.

And rewriting my own as I go.

But I won’t lie — some days are scary.

There’s no guaranteed paycheck. No benefits package.
No one else setting the pace.

It’s just me, and my knowing.

The Leap: Trusting More Than You Fear

It feels like standing at the edge of a 40-foot cliff, ready to jump into water.

I’ve done that before.
It’s terrifying. And it’s exhilarating.

There’s a pause — the moment when your body screams “don’t” even though your soul already said “yes.”

And then… you jump.

I’ve also jumped from a plane. Same feeling.
And I’ve also not jumped.

I know what it’s like to step back from the edge, too.

So here I am again.
At the edge of a new reality.

One I created on purpose.
One that asks me every day to trust more than I fear.

Awakening: Living as If It’s Already Done

To live as if it’s already done.
To feel the safety and success before the evidence.

This time, I know what’s on the other side.

Not certainty — but something better.

Freedom.
Alignment.
Awakening.

I’m not scared because I’m lost.
I’m scared because I’m leaping into the version of me I came here to be.

And that, I’ve learned… is exactly what awakening feels like.
