What my soul happens to be saying right now is that I desperately don't want to go to where I have to go this weekend and do what I am obliged to do, but I feel I should push through that resistance because there is some profound work of integration waiting for me there. It's complicated.
Oh, I so get that. When the soul says “no” but the pull toward growth says “maybe”—that’s sacred tension. It’s not always resistance to avoid. Sometimes it’s wisdom wrapped in discomfort. And other times? It’s just your spirit trying to protect your peace. Only you can know which it is. But I hear you. And I honor the weight of the “should.” It is complicated—and you don’t have to figure it all out before you go. Just keep listening. That’s the work.

I love this!
My soul shows up in the form of 87-year-old me. She’s the one I talk to. She’s got my spirit but a ton more years of wisdom!
Oh I love that—87-year-old you sounds like a total badass in pearls and house shoes who takes zero crap and knows exactly what matters.
She’s probably sipping something strong, side-eyeing the drama, and whispering, “Baby, none of that will matter in the end. Go live.
