Today, I’m headed on a road trip to connect with my gravity-bound self again. To touch in to my divine feminine, as it were—or, my creative force, my inner Shakti, my innate wisdom. Not to tap on a keyboard, but to tap in—to me.
As part of the frequent-traveler set who works primarily online, I feel all too often that I’m trying to fit awkwardly into a masculine-driven entrepreneur’s world.
Every day, I feel compelled to speak marketing language, to do “last-minute” sales, to price tier my products, to give a false sense of scarcity. Buy now, it won’t last! Just emailing to say my workshop closes in 24 hours! Playing the game, as it were. The game that all the pros recommend, that we see our friends do, that sometimes make us cringe quietly at others and ourselves.
And, I can’t help but wonder—am I relinquishing my inner wisdom when I do this? How much of this is me, and how much of this is me flailing about trying desperately to win a game I’m not even sure I want to play?
