Perhaps it’s not a But…perhaps it’s an AND. Because both things can be true. You can be on a journey forward AND holding a lot from the past. AND it’s okay.
This was such a a comforting read for me, thank you. I have been pushing the limits of my comfort zone lately in several ways as well so this message really hit home.
I'm seeing so much of a difference in what I'm receiving this time around so thankfully I can respond to the whispers with a calm confidence that I've not quite know before now.
And from that perspective, it really is so nice to hear from those past selves. Where previously it would've felt like a visit from a ghost of the past trying to warn me or sway me to saftey, now it's more like old friends who are (still needing some reassurance but...) avidly wanting to cheer me on.
Oh I love that you’re taking more comfort now from the voices of the past Caroline, it takes time doesn’t it, this journey ✨ what shifted your perspective most do you think?
It sure does. I think what shifted things for me most was just spending some real quality time with those past versions of me, understanding more about their stories of where they were coming from and (perhaps, most importantly) where they were going.
Instead of feeling victimized when tuning into those past selves, I started having compassion and even a reverence for them, and I found myself looking ahead in their storyline to see if I could finish what they started in some way.
Instead of being defined in a limited way by the past, I started allowing the unconscious aspects of those old selves to surface and serve as signposts for where to direct my energy and attention in the now.
I especially love the “looking ahead in the storyline to see if I could finish what they started” - absolutely perfect. I ‘ve not thought about it like this before Caroline, very powerful.
It sounds as though you’ve really done the work, with a lot of gentleness - I really appreciate you sharing your experience here, you’re very inspiring 💫
Thanks, Sarah. It has been a long a winding road so far but it's all been worth it to share in meaningful ways like this.
And I also realize, a lot of those past selves were looking and longing for just this, to inspire others. So here we are! Living it out in full circle right now. 😊✨

Just a thought…
Oh for sure! It’s always an AND 🙏✨
Ahhh yes… the edges. They feel gnarly for sure. I know these feelings and voices well. Holding you as you gently expand those wings. Xx
Thank you love. Always wonderful to have those around us holding too 🥰
