A Tell All Series

Coming in HOOOOT!!! Hiiiii. Welcome to the Dragon Eye Temple & our new newsletter!!! Eeeek. I'm trying something new, never done before. I'm creating a raw, unfiltered tell all series of ...

  • My core initiations into the temple arts.
  • How I liberated my voice to even share these. 
  • How I do this work with 5 kids & a husband. 
  • And anything else fun & juicy I can think of along the way. 


My intention was to do this over the next month or so and then I realized I'm a long form girl so it might take longer. I'd rather give you depth and nuance that 3 minute highlights that only give a smidge of value. Ya feel me?

Feel free to ask questions along the way & share with anyone else venturing (or desiring to) the path of the sacred temple arts.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

I am starting a new series I will be sharing with you.

Things I haven't said when it comes to liberating my voice and stepping into work as a Temple Artist.

This is very edgy for me . And exhilarating and exciting, and it's gonna be taboo, forbidden, and a lot of things that we told were wrong or sinful or heretical. And we're just gonna go into all of it.

And then I have something that I'm gonna be also inviting you into. Oh, there's a bumblebee. This... We are leading... Oh, two. Two bumblebees over here in the grass. And it's all bee medicine. Oh, there's three, there's another one. Oh, how fun. I love it. Oh, how perfect that there's three.

Gosh, last year my intention was to liberate my voice, and can I just say that every time I set an intention for the year, it fucking happens . You wanna know what my intention of the year is this year? It's the year of the artist and the year of overflow and aliveness, and just live your life with wild fucking abandon.

This is going to initiate you as I share it, and I'm excited for what I'm gonna be inviting you into next everything restructured in my life.

My marriage, my business, my identity, my nervous system everything has been recalibrated.

I have some really beautiful, tender, heart-opening stories, and I have some very erotic stories, and I have some fear stories. I have all the stories.

This is my resurrection, and it's like this is the diary of the Dragon Eye Oracle and these are the forbidden truths.

My own personal bare all this is what feels expansive and liberating and alive for me to share.

Oh, my gosh, and there's a hummingbird. How gorgeous. The bumblebees and the hummingbird. I love nature.

I went through a significant death portal. And this is the rebirth side of it. This is the gold. This is, when you go into the underworld and you excavate for the treasure, You come to the gold because that is the alchemist's journey, right?

This is the magic and the miracles that I want other women to know and to embody and to experience. That whatever you speak out of your mouth with decision with precision will be so for you. that is a very powerful belief to hold and a very powerful way to operate.

May this offer you exactly what you need at this time on your own path, on your own journey. A lot of this has to do with can we as women have power and love?

Can we have both, right? And, for those of you who are not familiar with the archetypes and the medicine that I work with and the path I walk, Lilith has been a major initiator and guide for me. So this is very much the Lilith path the liberated woman, the sovereign woman.

I didn't realize how much the strong one was just another version of the good girl only masked as really powerful 'cause ew, good girls, like never my vibe. And yet I found myself still seeking approval and permission and I was like, "Holy shit, this is deep.

I had no idea this was here," it was just this massive, revelation and I was like, "Oof. Okay, this is gonna take a minute to unravel", and it did, and it took as long as it took. And I made it to the other side. we get to have love and power.

You get to live in your most authentic, uninhibited, fully expressed self in liberated expression and authentic truth. And you get to have the deepest, most heart-opening love you have ever known. And it gets to be magical and it gets to be beautiful and you get to co-create together and you still get to stand on your own and be also powerful Yeah. Yeah, I think that's it for now. Thanks so much for joining me today, and I promise I will continue to bring even more juiciness and get into some of the nitty-gritty. And if you have questions for me as I go along my storytelling adventure, please don't hesitate to ask. Please feel free to share this with anyone who you feel would be interested.

Again welcome to 30 days of a bare all. A bare all of my origin story and how I liberated my sovereign voice. Welcome to Eden, baby. See you soon. See you tomorrow. Bye.
