Episode 9: You Are Not Powerless: How to Deprogram Fear and Remember Your Soul’s Truth
Welcome, sacred disruptor.
The system taught you to forget your power—this is where you remember.
If you’ve ever asked:
Why can’t I just get motivated?
What’s wrong with me?
Why do I always end up back here?
Let me tell you the truth:
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’ve simply been programmed—and it’s time to unplug.
🧠 The Programming Was Never Personal—It Was Patterned
From childhood, you were trained to disconnect from your intuition:
Be quiet
Don’t be dramatic
Who do you think you are?
Your subconscious absorbed beliefs like:
Good things happen to good people.
If something bad happens, I must be bad.
If I want to be safe, I better be small.
This isn’t your flaw. It’s your conditioning.
But you don’t have to keep living under it.
🚨 Powerlessness Isn’t a Personality—It’s a Pattern
Sometimes it feels easier to be helpless.
Sometimes waiting for someone else to choose us feels safer than choosing ourselves.
Sometimes staying small is how we’ve survived.
But survival isn’t sovereignty.
“Powerlessness is a trauma pattern that once kept you safe. But now, it’s keeping you stuck.”
🌬️ The Programming Unplug Ritual
Call to mind a story you were taught:
“I always mess things up.”
“I’m not good with money.”
“Someone else knows better.”
Now say this out loud (or whisper it into your bones):
“This story is not mine.”
“This story was given to me.”
“I choose to unplug from this programming.”
“I reclaim my right to choose.”
Feel that shift? That’s the first step home.
🔥 When I Remembered Who I Was
I was still shrinking—even in spiritual spaces.
Still deferring.
Still waiting for someone to say, “You’re allowed.”
And then… the tap came. (You know the one.)
I was listening to The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck and heard the words:
Contrarian Soul Guide.
It hit like lightning in my body.
That’s me.
“You're always stirring the pot, Dawn,” my husband said. “You're always pushing people to think deeper.”
That was the day I stopped waiting.
The day I started leading myself again.
That’s what power feels like. And it’s available to all of us.
🗝️ This Week’s Reflection
Ask yourself:
Where am I still outsourcing my power—waiting to be validated, saved, or chosen?
What programming am I ready to unplug from?
You don’t have to be ready.
You just have to begin.
