We know about working smarter, not harder. Still we schlep molten boulders up the mountain. We know about self-care. Still we throw ourselves on the fire to keep everyone else warm. Whyyyyyy?!? 😫
Because mind-knowing isn't sufficient. We need a full set of mind, heart, body and soul knowing to truly Know, capital 'K' know.
Reading a pregnancy book 🧠 is very different from pushing a human out of your body 👣, which is different from consciously raising that human 💖, which is different from preventing the full erasure of self ⭐️ .

A Full Set of Knowing
When I embarked on Freedompreneurship, ie entrepreneurship as a spiritual quest to free myself and others, I had no idea I'd be scouring the Earth and my innards for shards of knowing to kintsugi myself back together again. Some knowings I never had - worth, belonging, childhood. Some knowings were smashed to smithereens - safety, self-trust, relevance.
Unlike Humpty Dumpty, I slowly and painstakingly put myself back together again. ⤵︎
| Challenge • Lifetime of shame ⤳⤳ Full Set • Worthiness |
|
|---|---|
| 🧠 | Equine therapy horse bit me for me to mind-know I had no self-worth and needed to get some |
| 💖 | Brené Brown's TEDx Talk pierced my heart-knowing with image of "I am enough", cried for weeks |
| 👣 | When my feet touched the ground after ropes course, my bones knew that I matter. It was a first! |
| ⭐️ | On route to funeral, scarcity pebbles lifted off my ribs, the barriers to worthiness finally lifted off my soul |
Get a glimpse of how the brave women in our Phoenixsphere are working toward collecting full sets of knowing. ⤵︎
| Challenge • Not having a voice ⤳⤳ Full Set • Self-expression |
|
|---|---|
| 🧠 | Someone in my yoga community told me "Your throat chakra seems blocked" and I felt some truth there... |
| 💖 | (tbd...) |
| 👣 | After chronic throat aches and literally losing my voice, signed up for Breathwork and Vipassana, which gave me the guts to howl at the moon and speak up |
| ⭐️ | A friend gifted me a blue stone and every time I hold it, my voice relaxes, it's the strangest thing! |
| Challenge • Fear of being seen ⤳⤳ Full Set • Safety | |
|---|---|
| 🧠 | Thanks to neuroscience course, I can name that fear as "freeze" response. Every time I teach it, the fear dissolves a bit more. |
| 💖 | Getting trustworthy connection and relational safety and support through somatic coaching |
| 👣 | Non-linear movement practice gets me out of "freeze" response |
| ⭐️ | (tbd... maybe a shaman for intergenerational fear of "Witch burning"?) |
