“I’d rather be hated and debated than hold the truth back”—Zheani
As a woman, I have noticed when you genuinely question the status quo that goes against capitalist and patriarchal ideals; it is very easy to be hated. Even more so when you clearly and directly communicate your boundaries.
I have always been aware of the expectations to fit into the predetermined mold of “acceptable” womanhood. That was never of interest to me. I remember, very clearly, as a teenager being surrounded by women who walked the tight rope of the “acceptable” woman trope. The stress and stain of their efforts were palpable to me. They were so busy being many things to other people that they really didn’t know who they were when they were by themselves, in silence. That is one reason why they needed to stay so busy. Because if they genuinely slowed down and really gave more thought and attention to their true, authentic selves; what would happen then??? Which relationships in their lives would feel more like a prison sentence? What if they really understood their worth? What would happen if they said, “No” more often?
As antiquated as it may seem; simply rejecting mainstream ideals such as marriage and other patriarchal norms….(haven’t we evolved since the 1950’s???) Many people still feel threatened when women refuse to subjugate themselves in the name of relationships and some kind of idea related to family. The feeling is: Conform OR Else. The fear of exile runs deeply in most people. Men are not immune to these internalized ideals of conformity either, they just get to experience a different flavor of internalized patriarchy.
So, in the wise words of Zheani, “I’d rather be hated and debated than hold the truth back”.
Question Everything.
Side Note: If you find yourself in the midst of a Spiritual Awakening; Welcome to the Unofficial Club!!! I know the early days of a Spiritual Awakening can feel maddening, confusing and exhausting. There are so many ego deaths involved. The unnerving questioning of Identity, questioning the meaning of this life, past life memories resurfacing, experiencing intense and energy draining Ascension symptoms, the list goes on. I know when I was in the early days of going through the Initiation of a Spiritual Awakening; I experienced confusion, loneliness, and a lack of direction. What I wished I had during those days was some kind of guide…maybe even a coach? A Wellness Coach. That is exactly why I offer these kinds of wellness coaching services. I know how valuable it is to be able to talk about experiencing ALL of the kinds of experiences that come with going through a Spiritual Awakening. I understand the kind of peace one can receive when they get the support that they need.
Also, if you find that you are at a crossroads with the relationship you have with your Sexual Wellness and have serious questions or qualms about it, working with a coach may be helpful. Again, I understand how participating within a working relationship, how working with a coach, can lend vital support around having clarity and ease within oneself over time. Working with a Wellness Coach to support you in understanding a core human experience such as sexuality can play a big role in Growth and Expansion.
Working with a Wellness Coach can be an essential part of one’s Soul-U-tioN.
