I want to break free.
"I feel like I'm stuck in a box, unable to break free and lead in a way that feels authentic to me."
Trusting and backing yourself, and living a more authentic life beyond religious, societal and familial boxes - with their harsh rules, strict strategies and hyper-authoritarian leaders - can feel a little daunting.
It can feel a little like you're free-falling from a plane without a parachute.
Because where's the ground? Where's the safety of the box they put me in? Where are the confines?
Because we learned that feeling confined also meant safety.
Feeling suppressed and silence and stifled meant belonging.
And authenticity, trusting yourself and your intuition was wrong.
And therefore by default - freedom can conjure up feelings of fear because we have also been taught that feeling a sense of freedom is UNSAFE.
The fact is, that often when you grow up in strict religious Christian environments, you are taught to trust the rules and the teacher more than you trust yourself.

Often you are outright taught that intuition and trusting yourself is wrong.
Because you are bad, sinful, dirty, shameful and the heart is deceitful above all things..
Nothing good EVER flows from you, so you cannot trust yourself - at all, ever.
It's this awful distorted teachings with lack of healthy emotional maturity and nuance that leads to adults who feel stifled, suppressed and silenced - even though they're grown-ass women, inside they secretly still feel a bit like a little girl.
Trusting yourself doesn't make you an insta-rebel, a hyper-independent career woman that don't need no man, or even a hater of all things systems, authority and structure.
It also doesn't mean that you are arrogant, narrow-minded or someone that never sits under mentorship or advice.
It just means that your internal authority structure is different. That you are more discerning. That you observe and pay attention. And that you are anchored in your God-given personal sovereignty.
