Episode 12:  Rewriting Your Relationship with Power: From Hustle to Harmony

Welcome, Sacred Disruptor.

  You’ve been told that power is in the push.
But what if the real power lives in your pause?

😮‍💨 Hustle Isn’t a Lifestyle. It’s a Survival Pattern.

Let’s call it like it is:

  • If stillness makes you twitchy…

  • If rest feels lazy…

  • If your nervous system freaks out when you slow down…

That’s not because you’re lazy.

That’s trauma, wearing a productivity mask.

We learned that our worth is in the doing.
The achieving.
The output.
But that kind of power? It’s borrowed. It’s performative.
And it’s breaking us.

🔥 When the Hustle Breaks

I know what it’s like to look like you have it all on the outside…

Six-figure job.
2.5 kids and a Frenchie.
The marriage. The house. The hustle.

But I was dying inside.

Panic attacks started when I wasn’t working.
I couldn’t slow down—even for yoga.
And then… life cracked me open. Car accidents. Brain injury. Stillness.

I didn’t choose to slow down. I was forced.

And I learned:

Hustle isn’t power. It’s fear trying to feel safe.

✨ The Power Repatterning Drop-In

Place a hand on your heart. Close your eyes.

Ask:

“Where am I forcing?”
“What would it feel like to let alignment lead instead?”

Now say:

“I don’t have to hustle to be powerful.
I don’t have to push to be worthy.
I am safe to lead from alignment.”

Let that truth move through you.

💥 The Collapse Doesn’t Have to Come

You don’t have to burn it all down.
You don’t have to run away to rest.
You don’t have to quit everything to reclaim your center.

You just have to stop giving your power away to performance.

💫 The Questions That Changed Everything

When I was unraveling from the noise, two questions cracked me open:

  1. What is my truth?

  2. Who am I without the roles?

And those two questions became the foundation of Practical Spiritualism—and eventually Sovereignty Rising.

🌿 This Is Your Invitation

If you’re in a season of deep questioning, you’re not broken.
You’re becoming.

This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about living more aligned.
And that begins by honoring the truth beneath the hustle.

🧭 Final Words

You don’t need to collapse your life to rest.
