Hi! I’m Kelsey. I’m a Certified Professional Coach and Human Design Guide. My intention for this publication is to help you remember who you really are so you can experience a joyful, easeful, abundant and wicked-fun life. I offer Private Coaching and Human Design Play Sessions. You can book a Private Coaching Session with me here and you can book a Human Design Play Session here.
For so long, I was afraid of my own light. It wasn’t the judgement or expectations of others that made me cower. It was the fear of my own bigness, my own power, my own fire. I didn’t worry if the world could handle it. I didn’t worry that I might be too much for others. (I know I’m too much for some people and I’m okay with that.)
I worried that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I worried that I’d be too much for myself.
So, I dimmed my light. This is what we’re taught: to belong, to fit in, to be like the others.
When we dim our lights, we’re playing by the rules. By dimming our lights, we don’t rock the boat or make a fuss. Dimming our lights is the safe option.
You know what’s not safe? Allowing ourselves to have great day after great day, being persistent and being the brightest light.
There’s a guilt that can come with the goodness—a guilt that can creep in when we’re having a great day and others aren’t. There’s a temptation to dim our light when others’ lights are dim, a feeling that it’s not right for us to shine when others aren’t, it’s not nice to be happy and healthy when others aren’t, it’s not fair to succeed when others aren’t.
Listen: Our dimming our lights isn’t going to make anyone else’s light brighter.
You know what will make other people’s lights brighter? Allowing ourselves to shine like the f***ing sun.
And another thing: That guilt we feel, whether it’s about being healthy, happy, successful, or wealthy, is blocking our ability to receive. So, let’s knock it off.
The universe wants to bring us wealth, our bodies want to be in perfect health, and joy is our natural state. So, please let it flow. Let it all f***ing flow.
I love you so much.
Love,
Kelsey
