Confronting Fear, Embracing Power, and Unleashing Transformation
I had the oddest, yet most truth-revealing dream to date. Kerry Washington's badass crisis management character, Olivia Pope, invaded the astral plane to remind me of who the f*ck I am and what I'm fighting for.
These past few days, I've been feeling weak in the knees. Dreams about past partners, witnessing happy couples around me, and my wellness platforms struggling for attention made me question parts of my current self. The lonely pony was in full swing, and I found myself drowning in a self-pity party. Ugh!
In the dream, Olivia Pope helped me gain traction by leaving a random partner. Although I can't recall their identity, they represented what I used to tolerate—a part of me that no longer deserves a seat at the table. Olivia urged me to grow forward, but I hesitated. Fear of leaving my comfort zone and fear of being alone held me back. But if you've ever watched Scandal, you know fear and Olivia Pope do not mix! With her domineering demeanor and sharp tongue, she confronted me with words of conviction and valor. She emphasized the importance of facing fear head-on, pushing through it, and moving forward. I can't remember her exact words, but the energy reverberated within me. It was so powerful that it jolted my eyes open, sparking this 3 am writing session!
Olivia served as a reminder that the people-pleasing individual I once was is dead and gone! The background dweller and the one settling for scraps are also dead! Rest in peace to the pleaser, the bystander, and the crumb snatcher! Though moments of loneliness, worry, and fear are humanly expected, they no longer hold power. I am so much more and will continue to grow no matter what! Empress energy is now my guiding force!
From now on, I must keep going unapologetically. That was the biggest takeaway from that dream, and I love it! If I want more, I can no longer play small. I must walk into every room, space, and even my own mind as if I own it. This isn't arrogance; it's the beauty of confidence and the elegance of finally embracing the gifts I possess and the gorgeous person I am. It's about casting aside my own BS and confronting fear in all its forms. It's time for me to take the reins of leadership in my life, my career, and everything else that requires seizing control and steering in the direction that best suits my overall well-being.
I am beyond ready, and now it's time to unleash this energy upon the world with full force! I've earned my place through the roller coaster of hell, and there's no turning back!
I will always choose myself because if I don't, no one else will. I'm tired of being on the f*cking sidelines!
I'm choosing me. I’m choosing Olivia. And right now, Olivia is dancing. Now, you can dance with me or you can get off my dance floor. I’m fine dancing alone. - Olivia Pope
