Greetings, Sister,

I have a bone to pick. Well, several actually.

Chalk it up to Mercury going retro again, starting my moon, three hours of last minute dress shopping last night with an almost 13 year old - stressing over a big debut today, and a schedule packed tighter than a sausage this week…

But I’m just not feeling conciliatory.

EVERY thing is on my list (and on my nerves).

Both my Great Mother and my Warrioress wounds were out to play yesterday and I decided not to tame them.

There is always Medicine inside of the ruffled feathers and the perturbances that show themselves. 

And I used it all to IN-form our Wild Soul Medicine this week. 


Being a Whole person requires that we embrace our messiness and our discomforts. It is how we grow and also how we come to know ourselves on the deepest levels.

This week, my husband and I had some realizations that our conscious parenting has created a huge sense of entitlement in our newly teenage children. Because we have always tended their feelings and made sure they were met in every imaginable way, they aren’t accustomed to being uncomfortable. 

At all. 

We have decided to begin to allow more room for them to explore those spaces of not getting what they want, so they can build a skill set that supports them owning their own power in creating what they desire - rather than having it handed to them.

I know my children aren’t the only ones. This sense of entitlement is rampant in our young ones.

There has never been such a pampered generation.

I see it in the uber political correctness infecting college campuses - where twenty somethings who have been raised with the intention of good self esteem and happy, healthy attachments are now hyper focused on boycotting comedians who might offend their delicate sensibilities or petitioning to fire a professor who referenced a classic piece of literature that happens to contain a scene of violence that had them feeling like they were personally violated.

Conscious Hitlers running around policing the very thing they think they are a stand for.

And those of us farther down the life path are not immune either.

There are many sneaky and insidious ways that our motivation to avoid pain and take a more “conscious” route can actually lead to bypassing the very things that would support our growth.

Last week, one of my WSMR listeners wrote an impassioned letter in response to my mentioning that my Guidance has tasked me with tripling my business in the next year. 

She asked me to transparently offer an accounting of where I spend my money and on what and to explain exactly how me enriching myself enriches others on the planet.

She had much to say about shadowy feminine spiritual leaders and the potential pitfalls of haves and have-nots in our consciousness meets capitalism conundrum.

As you might imagine... I have LOTS to say about this.

Join me this week as I talk about Spiritual Entitlement, mothering ungrateful teenagers, and whether or not I will be releasing my tax returns for all the world to see.

Highlights to listen for:
(12:40) The Gift of Discomfort

(18:15) When does it get easier?
 
(26:10) A Confession of Doubt
 
(34:35) The manipulation of ‘deserving’
 
(43:00) When we thrive, who else thrives?
 
(51:10) “The paradigm of us sacrificing, as women, to try to save a doomed humanity, is over.”

POTENT DOSE (if you only have a few minutes):


I had fun with this one.
