Something Is Changing….Inside YOU

Transcript

Hi friends, how is everyone doing? I’m recording this on March 29, 2026, It’s a really weird time in the world and I know we are all looking for support in any way can right now, so I was inspired to do a class last Saturday, kind of last minute, called Something Is Changing… My hope was to give everyone some perspective on what is actually changing and why, from my perspective of course, and give everyone some navigation tools to move through this time and beyond. I feel this deep optimism right now and I thought it would be helpful to explain why I feel that way. Like many of you, I have been shaken to my core over what has been going on in this country and everything that has been revealed to us had me crying my eyes out, as my friend Laura calls them holy tears. But my goodness, has it all been clarifying. So my optimism does not come from the current state of affairs, it comes from knowing that the majority of humans now know how insane these powerful people have become, and we have unwittingly enabled it and it’s time to set the world right again, and we are believing that together we can do it. My optimism comes from a deep trust in the strength and goodness of the human spirit—our instinct to reach for something greater. And as I share in this class, I believe we are standing at the edge of a powerful expansion, a revolution of the mind, a revolution of our intelligence, and this expansion is unfolding collectively, but it is also available for each of us to step into, individually, NOW. This change is all about you. And I explain what I mean in this class……I hope you’ll take a listen. Take good care everybody.

Okay here’s what were gonna do…..you came here because you know something is changing , so we are going to give that some definition, help you understand whayt it means for you, how to navigate in this change, I’ll take some questions and then I will leave you with a very simple exercise you can do any time, anywhere that is very powerful.

So were gonna do a little quiz…Grab a paper and pen, or jot it on your notes…. …..So I am going to share five signs that you are experiencing a shift that is common for millions of people right now. So I will describe these signs, and then I want you to note whether you are experiencing this…   YES NO MAYBE..ok, is this you??

1.    What used to feel normal now feels uncomfortable or “not right”.

(apologizing when you didn’t do anything wrong, Laughing things off that actually bother you,  it might also be habits like you always looked forward to Sunday brunch and not so much anymore, or a certain way of eating that doesn’t appeal to you any more)  

2.    You’re questioning relationships……not like oh I used to like this person now I hate them, it’s more like just questioning…you don’t even know where it’s going

3.     You crave more truth and less performance….. authenticity matters more than ever…this is from you mainly—you have much more interest in showing up as you are instead of trying to be more likable, or agreeable or impressive…and you appreciate that more in other people. Maybe even in celebrities.

4.    Small talk is becoming painful, you’d rather be alone. You say no to draining people when maybe in the past you said yes to be nice or just out of obligation.

5.    You feel both clarity and confusion.
Clear on what you don’t want… still not sure what you do want. Maybe you’re questioning your current job but you don’t know what else you want to do….

 

Okay, how many NO’s do you have?

“Notice this—something is different and your body is letting you know. Your mind hasn’t caught up, your world hasn’t really changed outside considerably, these are subtle changes happening on the inside first. It actually means that you are tuned in…..Let me explain.”

Cycles—We live in the natural world with cycles and rhythms,--hours turn into days—sunset/sunrise, months, women are well aware of monthly cycles, there are seasons—fall winter spring summer… So. Those are just some of the cycles that we live within because we can perceive them. We don’t question those cycles, we TRUST them. When the sun sets and we feel tired at the end of the day we don’t think something has gone wrong, we trust in the natural energetic rhythm of our day.  

But there are cycles we are living in that are beyond our perception—there are cycles that last decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years….So we don’t see them, but if you are tuned in, you will feel them.

The nature of cycles that we live within—is that of expansion contraction. Expansion contraction.  Expansion meaning momentum, creativity, growth—that’s the morning, that is spring,. And there is contraction—slower, reflective, pulling in…. And right before expansion…
it often feels unclear. There’s a liminal in-between phase.

So I believe we are entering a phase of expansion. Better. And the old is falling away…and the new isn’t fully formed yet. And you see it playing out on the global stage, but it’s actually happening on an individual level. 

 

It’s like you are birthing something new—have you ever seen a baby being born?? What do they call those moments when you’re getting close??—Contractions. And you don’t think anything is going wrong when you are in pain with contractions, and you gladly sign up for this crazy experience because you know what’s on the other side. That is exactly what is happening and we need that wisdom to come online to remind us that this is what it looks like to birth something new.

So if you feel in-between…
unsettled…
like you can’t quite go back, but you’re not sure what’s next—

You’re not doing anything wrong.

You’re actually right on time.

So how do you navigate through a time like this, that seems so uncertain? Well the first thing I want to say is that I believe what this whole thing is about is that we are being pushed to navigate from the inside out. Why? Because inside we have access to much higher intelligence. We have been systematically trained away from it. The most important way to navigate is with your internal compass…We are incredibly unskilled at this, but it has become crucial. Ok so here is my lesson for beginners, you can learn this and then build from there…. ….You can reliably steer your life based on 2 emotions. Fear and Love. And what is the internal experience of those two emotions? Fear is contraction. Love is expansion-- So what you are really doing is you are asking yourself. What makes me feel contracted? What makes me feel expanded?  And you move in the direction of expanded. What makes me feel better? What makes me feel worse, and you move in the direction of better.

And where do our feelings come from? They don’t descend upon us. They come from what we are thinking. your experience of your life will depend upon how you decide to perceive it. So you can’t manage the outside world don’t even try. Our thoughts create our feelings—so your thoughts ABOUT your life circumstances are actually what dictate your experience.  So let’s look at some examples….

The outside world is not going to stabilize your inner life. That is your job. And you do it by deliberately choosing where you put your attention, and how you choose to think. And I am not talking about Pollyanna Positive…..I am talking about the expanded feeling of telling the truth. Of saying out loud: I do not give you my consent. I do not choose this. Contraction makes you feel power-less, expansion makes you feel power-full, you are tapping into your own power. This is why you can have people experiencing the exact same circumstances and have totally different experiences of it….. You will both be experiencing the same thing but one of you will feel better and expanded based on the lens you choose to see it through.

So this is truly your opportunity now, to create and build up that capability to feel fear and then choose to move into love and kindness and openness. It’s a skill and you practice it. And whatever you practice, you get better at. And we are very practiced at looking outside of ourselves to determine if we are okay.  And I believe this next expansion is all about tuning IN to an inner navigation.  

 Exercise—We feel contracted sometimes but feeling good and light and content is our natural state.  We’ve just been conditioned away from it. So here is a little exercise to get your nervous system back to a regulated state.

I am meant to live in peace.

On the exhale.

 Then silently—bring it toward you, then send it to the world.
