The system we live in functions through consent, though most people's thoughts have been hi-jacked making that consent void as it's usually obtained through coercion, deceit, or manipulation...even if only your unconscious mind is aware of it, your body knows, your lifestyle knows, your history reveals clues.
The pre-frontal cortex is compromised through narratives and propaganda that are always around topics of fear, control, and scarcity. This keeps the fight or flight survival mechanism running, thus keeping you running inside a story fabricated by someone else. This programming needs you in this mode so that you can't operate from a place of reason, discernment and critical thinking....and so that you will keep buying whatever they are selling, many things you don't even need or really want.
It creates problems so it can offer solutions for you to contract and agree to, thus, in those agreements, theft takes place. Theft of autonomy, attention, joy, abundance, energy, health, wealth. Think of the efforts made to do this, yet you are still standing!
The good news is you can bring these things into your awareness and begin to change the story from what someone else told you was the way it is...to becoming the author of your own life. Whatever it is “they” try to take, let it be a reclamation to trust yourself and your own way!
One way to do this is through our environments.
Our environments are either supporting the programming by the system that keeps us feeling like we're behind, not enough, never reaching our potential.... OR... supporting the programming created by you to reinforce the life you want to create.
Because the subconscious drives the car that steers our choices, habits, and limiting beliefs. Our environments are always speaking to that under-layer of consciousness playing to impulse, the illusion of safety and/ or the repetition of what is deemed acceptable by the world-at-large.
If you want to change your life, your subconscious needs a new story.
If you want more harmony, joy, prosperity, health, and clarity...you have to program yourself because if you don't, someone or some-thing else will.
I help people by walking you through a process to greater self awareness and understanding of the feedback your outer world is giving you to the state of your inner world. Everything is connected, so it's not uncommon to see improvements in other areas of life, even if we're only working on something specific.
Beyond just the colors on your walls or the placement of furniture is a deeper story unfolding....is it the story you want to tell....is it aligned with the legacy you want to leave for your life, your business, your family, your success?
You do not have to be victim to the system, you can begin authoring a new path.....the fact that you are here in this moment is proof you're doing better than you think and if you've read all the way to the end, you're already ahead of the curve with openness to move through the muck, get beneath the subconscious layers, go beyond the mind hi-jacking and unearth the false authority that was clouding the road.
You are doing so much better than you know. You've made it through so many hard things because you can do hard things. Those hard things don't break you, they reveal you. Those hard things don't make you weak, they make you strong. But the secret is to do the hard things first, on your own terms, so you don't get caught off guard by what is thrown at you.
And then one day those hard things don't seem so hard anymore.
And you realize you had the power all along.
And life feels more beautiful, like you imagined it could be.
And all those influences that try to take you off your path no longer carry the same weight.
Because you can see right through it.
And you know that it is in what you CAN control where you get to paint a new picture for how you want to live....and day by day that image comes to life in your reality....not to reach any destination, but to learn how to, daily, step into the inner sanctuary, the seat of the soul, the hearth of the heart...and feel support...and peace...and prosperity....the real kind, not what the world told you it was.
This place we live, it’s insane. We must remember that for ourselves because that helps us be able to hold compassion for others. (I know, I know, it’s so hard to do that some days, ok many days, but we have to try….just remember you 20 years ago, who planted seeds to help you see things differently today?)
It’s a mess out there, stay close to the heart for it is with love we can help shift things to a higher minded state where we live in accordance again with nature, with the natural cycles, without inflicting harm unconsciously. Everyone has “room” for improvement, no matter how self-actualized you’ve become. Everyone can examine their own lives and focus where it matters instead of where we're told to focus by distractions and negative influences.
The truth really does set you free but in order to create a beautiful life you have to look at the ugly walls built up over time and decide if you’re going to tear them down, paint them or transform them into a different structure.
May we flip the inversion …if even in our own lives,

Inspiring work, Angela - couldn't agree more! :-)
Agency. If I could only teach people one thing it is agency. I am convinced high agency and its cultivation is the key to a great life. Conversely, low agency is the path to depression, decline and ruin.
Much of what society tries to convince us of is our helplessness. Pushing back against that and recognizing your options, the choices you can make, is real power as you suggest.
