I am finding that the single most important and empowering thing in my life, from one day to the next, is taking the time to get clear. Once I've done that, I can decide what I want to do. And I can be confident that those decisions are in line with my values and priorities. We live so fast now, with so many things going on, so much task switching, so much distraction, so much demand and overwhelm, that we can spend days, weeks, months, years in a fog, our integrity clouded by the murk of too-muchness. Creating the space and making the time to get clear changes all of that. It allows us to identify our fears. And when we've done that we can stare them down and do what we need to do for ourselves and our lives.

Erin, this is so beautifully said—and I couldn’t agree more. Getting clear is like coming home to yourself in a world that constantly pulls you away. That space to slow down and listen beneath the noise is where real alignment happens. I love how you framed it as a return to integrity 🤍

Mmm yes. It’s been true for me, that uncertainty wasn’t real, that fear cock-blocked my desires.

Several years ago I announced out loud via WhatsApp audio message to a friend that I wanted a child (I was single and hadn’t kissed a guy in two years) and my knees trembled so much I nearly fell to the ground. That was when I realised I’d known it all along, but the fear of not having it prevented me from claiming it.
