Sara Phillips, Soul Coach

Guys, I did a thing.

Her name is Sadie and she’s just over 8 weeks old and she’s a Lab/German Shepherd/ maybe Doberman puppy.

I’m overwhelmed and tired and totally heart melted in love. ♥️💕♥️

She’s so cool. ✨🤍✨

Make up table in my ginormous new bathroom? Kay. 💄💋👌

Being hard on ourselves. What the eff is that about? ⁣
⁣
It’s like part of our being has detached and morphed itself into a tiny vicious monster with green horns and drool that lives in our brain. ⁣
⁣
And anytime we step up or outside of our comfort zone this monster being bursts into flames and starts to say all kinds of mean s**t to us.⁣
⁣
Except - that it’s us. We’re doing it to ourselves. Which makes zero sense. ⁣
⁣
We may manifest mirrors of it in our external world (cuz we’re powerful like that) but it’s origin is in the festering depths of our psyche. ⁣
⁣
And the wonder of all wonders is that we do it for a whole plethora of reasons.⁣
⁣
Attention? Sure. Playing small? Yep. Motivation? Definitely. Self correction? Yes. Fitting in? Yes. Call for help? Yes.⁣
⁣
How about this instead? How about we address this monster directly and really come into relationship with it? Ask it what it’s purpose is? Ask it what it really needs? Why is it so angry and hurt and sad? And maybe even tell it where to go. ⁣
⁣
It might be (it is) that we have the power to transform this monster into some form of angelic guide instead if we show ourselves the compassion and have the courage to listen to what’s really going on inside our brains. ⁣
⁣
Wouldn’t that be nice? If our inner tormentor effed off? ⁣
⁣
If you need help with this, lemme know. I’m currently in process of this myself. ⁣
⁣
All love. ⁣

There’s been a lot of scary s**t in our past. And - now’s the time. Bring on your fullest power, your highest light, your deepest passions. Because we need them. Like, now. 💋💞🎈

It’s almost like I’m in heaven. 🌱🌿🌱

Sometimes I get confused about the types of things I’m naturally drawn to. The latest is this show, Sunset Strip on Netflix. ⁣
⁣
It’s about a bunch of women from LA who work for two men and they all sell real estate. It’s a reality show. ⁣
⁣
So I’ve been watching and now I get it. I get why my dreamer needs me to watch this show. It’s so I can study these women. ⁣
⁣
So I can use them to reflect back to me what’s going on inside of me. ⁣
⁣
And this particular show is doing wonders to heal my - well let’s just be honest shall we? - terror of ‘mean girls’. ⁣
⁣
Ans as the terror is being felt and witnessed and healing. I’m starting to see what’s really going on inside of them and where I have taken their energy (or women like them) to mean something about me (which it doesn’t - ever). ⁣
⁣
So when that heals, my fear will be gone and compassion will take its place. ⁣
⁣
And then at some point, if a ‘mean girl’ (in truth a girl that’s in pain and doesn’t know what to do with it other than project it outwards to hurt other people so she’s not alone in her pain) needed support, I wouldn’t be too afraid to coach her and could actually invite her into my practice to support her healing. ⁣
⁣
So it turns out that my guidance is sometimes (always) leading me to the best, most relevant next step on my journey. ⁣
⁣
And - I’m still in the dark about it most of the time.

The ocean is a really good listener. Even though she’s a bit grey right now.

I’ve been thinking a lot about social hierarchy lately. About how easily we get caught up in ideas of being less than and better than and superior and inadequate.⁣
⁣
It’s always strange to me to find out what we as humans do to make us feel better in our bodies in order to be able to walk forward in life.⁣
⁣
Essentially they’re all coping mechanisms. We deal with inadequacy by owning it as truth or projecting ourself as greater than.⁣
⁣
We deal with insecurity by deciding that we are this way, this is our identity or we project ourselves as arrogant and mean to hide how much we’re suffering on the inside. ⁣
⁣
When in truth we’re just little kids inside adult bodies waiting and sometimes desperately searching for someone to validate us. To remind us we are worthy and enough and beautiful and special.⁣
⁣
What we don’t realize is that the only person that can do that for us is ourselves. It’s the only way it works.⁣
⁣
So inadequacy heals by reminding ourselves over and over, whenever we need it, that we are enough. ⁣
⁣
Just like the trees. And the whales. And the birds. And the ocean. And the stars and the sun and the moon.It’s all enough. In fact it’s so much more than enough, it’s staggering. ⁣
⁣
We’re the same. We are not separate from the natural world. We’re very much a part of it.
