048 | 13 Revelations I Had After Burning Down My Spiritual Business

Embodied Soul with Sarah Brockman

In September 2019, I found myself at a bothersome crossroads. The first road led to a fate where I keep pushing, forcing and hustling in my business in an unembodied way (what I had been doing, but didn’t want to admit to myself). The second road took me down a very short culdesac where I metaphorically threw my spiritual business that I took a year and a half to build straight into the void.

I ended up choosing the second path and closed the doors to my business, shut down my website and came off social media. Since I was no longer able to manifest money through my soul’s purpose, I did what most millennials who have no f*cking clue what they’re doing with their lives do. I got a job at a coffee shop.

Over the past year, I’ve gone through massive initiations and a deep return to mySelf through the gentle magic of everyday human life. I would even boldly state that this last year has been more transformative than the time periods before or during the creation, establishment and operation of my online business. As of a month ago, I am working in my business again and feel more aligned, sovereign, nourished and expansive than I did before. Tune into the episode for soul lessons, human wisdom and funny anecdotes.

The Revelations:

#1: I was pining for a deep, messy initiation into my own humanity.

#2: My privacy is sacred and juicy.

#3: Social media and the success of my business were STILL ruling my self-worth.

#4: I don’t have to constantly work on my soul’s growth and expansion.

#5: New Age spirituality isn’t my path, it was just the first leg of my spiritual journey.

#6: I was a holier-than-thou spiritual a**hole.

#7: I have a kinky obsession with chaos.

#8: The embodied feminine means nothing without the safe, disciplined structure of the embodied masculine.

#9: If my business were a spirit animal, it would be a python.

#10: I’m meant to run a business in a wildly magical way that makes no sense to muggles, but I’m glad I tried and failed at doing it the muggle way first.

#11: My life initiations are far more potent in my power as a medicine woman than any of my official qualifications.

#12: I know absolutely nothing.

#13: I’m not here to save people.
