Unleash Your Radiance: Shine BRIGHTLY, No Matter What

In life, we encounter a variety of energies, some uplifting and others draining. The true power of unleashing your RADIANCE lies in how you choose to respond to these energies.

How do you react when you encounter something that fills you with energy and enthusiasm? And conversely, how do you navigate situations where someone's energy drains you?

Recently, I've found myself surrounded by toxic and negative energy frequencies. And it's presented opportunities for growth, prompting me to take a step back for some much-needed mental and physical rejuvenation. As the spring season unfolds, I seized the opportunity to rest and recharge, aligning myself with more positive and uplifting energy frequencies.

Seeking inspiration in my journey, I recently immersed myself in the book "First Gen" by Alejandra Campoverdi , which resonated deeply with me. Campoverdi eloquently describes the emotional challenges faced by trailblazers as "First and Onlys," shedding light on the toll it can take. Real talk, I don't think I have taken time to emotionally process those tolls.

During a recent conversation, a dear friend and mentor reminded me of something profound: "Do Not Ever Dim Your Light for Anyone." Those words, spoken by Wokie Daboh , struck a chord within me to take action. ?

I've noticed myself not fully engaging in certain areas of my life, concerned that others couldn't handle my velocity, tenacity and open-mindedness. However, I've reached a turning point and am reframing this narrative as a moment of expansion. As a First Gen Latina, I've encountered countless instances where others have attempted to confine me, to fit me into a narrow box. I struggle to understand why humanity feels the need to limit individuals in this way. And I've decided to take my power back, and not let those interactions define me.

For all of the #CareerFocused? Tip of the Month Subscribers, here are some questions for you to reflect on the energy frequencies surrounding you and intentionally NOT Dim your light:

1. What lights you up?
2. What fears or doubts hold you back from fully expressing your talents?
3. What steps can you take to set boundaries for people with negative energy in your life?
4. How can you say more YES's to positive energy and experiences?
5. Where in your life are you playing small and not leaning in?

Pro-tip: When negative energy enters your orbit, take a deep breathe and simply let it go. It's not worth you getting worked up about it, focus on stepping into your calling and put your energy there instead.

In conclusion, ?'Radiance'? is not just a word; it's become my guiding light for the year ahead. I aspire to illuminate every aspect of my life with hope, expansion, and rays of light, much like the way light touches a crystal, scattering glimmers of natural beauty and wonder in all directions.

As I embark on this journey to embrace my brilliance and passions, I invite you to join me. Let's unleash our radiance together and illuminate the world with our unique glow.
