Embodiment Isn’t Pretty—But It Is Powerful
Letting Your Body Catch Up to What Your Spirit Already Knows
📬 Reader’s Nook | Week 2
Hi Readers!
There was a morning—maybe you’ve had one too—
where I sat on the edge of my bed with my journal open and this question burning in my gut:
“Why do I say I want the thing, but not actually do the thing?”
You know the feeling.
You declare that this is your season.
You pray, you plan, you vision board your heart out.
But when it’s time to post the content, start the thing, shift the habit…
You freeze.
It’s not because you’re lazy. Or unmotivated. Or spiritually misaligned.
It’s because your body is still trying to survive a version of you that doesn’t exist anymore.
And that’s what embodiment actually is:
Bringing your future into the now.
Letting your nervous system catch up to what your soul already said yes to.
I used to believe if I didn’t do something perfectly, it wasn’t worth doing at all.
That if I couldn’t stick the landing with 30-days-of-consistency-and-aesthetic-routine, then maybe I just wasn’t “that girl.”
But then I started noticing something.
It wasn’t about how much I did.
It was about how embodied I was in what I did.
One conscious, aligned decision.
One micro-move made from my wholeness—not my hustle.
That was enough to shift the day. And enough days shifted? That’s momentum.
Want to know the truth about why it’s so uncomfortable?
It’s because when you embody a new habit, you’re literally asking your nervous system to feel safe doing something it used to associate with danger, rejection, or unworthiness.
Yep. Even “good” things like:
Showing up online.
Charging higher rates.
Saying no and meaning it.
Resting without earning it.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
But here’s the part we forget: that renewal has to travel through the body.
You don’t think your way into a new life.
You embody it. Step by sacred step.
You wake up, stretch your arms, and decide: Today I’m not negotiating with fear.
So here’s what I started doing when my excuses came up (because they still do):
I stopped asking “Why can’t I be more disciplined?”
and started asking,
“What part of me doesn’t feel safe embodying this version of me?”
That’s when I heard the Holy Spirit whisper:
“You’re safe to want what you want. And you're worthy of having it.”
That whisper changed everything.
Now I know this:
✨ You don’t need to be perfect.
✨ You don’t need to “do more.”
✨ You just need to be consistent enough for your nervous system to believe:
“Oh… this is who we are now.”
That’s where the magic begins.
That’s when $5K months become normal.
That’s when content flows easily.
That’s when embodiment isn’t a performance—it’s your nature.
Let me ask you this, love:
What small habit are you making excuses around right now?
That “I’ll do it when I’m more ready…” story?
That’s just fear, dressed up in logic.
And you are done negotiating with fear.
Let it be simple:
Light the candle.
Take the breath.
Show up messy but devoted.
Let it be holy, not perfect.
I’m walking with you.
Every email, every word, every shift in your body is part of your training.
This is how the Quantum Leap happens: in micro-decisions that align with your highest future.
Next week: we’re talking about why saying no is a nervous system skill—and a spiritual practice.
