The spiritual community has normalized bypassing real healing — through positivity, manifestation talk, and identity inflation — and it’s time to bring the conversation back to emotional truth, nervous system regulation, and embodied safety. This is the start of a deeper conversation and movement across The Awakened State.
I’m waking up even deeper than ever before and the universe had to crack me open to see even clearer: the world is hurting…
In the past, I’m sorry if I ever said:
“Just stop feeling the fear”
or
“Just change your mind”
Because honestly…this gaslighting is destroying sustainable healing in the entire industry, and it needs to stop.
- We shame people for not Embodying their higher self ENOUGH
- We dismiss feelings in favor of “getting high vibe enough”
- We talk over emotional truth with “Just fake it until you make it” language.
- We gloss over the real healing we need with stupid thoughts like “just feel the feelings of already having it”
- We embrace extremes of
- Dissecting ourselves with Shadow Work prompts
- or
- chronic morning routines just to get “high vibe and aligned”
And we shut down the ability to make space
For what is actually required for Real Emotional freedom and sustainable healing to take place.

IT’S TIME TO DO BETTER LIGHTWORKERS
This year has been wildly hard for me, i’ve had to stretch myself open in ways i didn’t know or even educated to know how to feel.
But I think the Universe was showing me this struggle so I could show up as a better Teacher. We often teach what we need to learn – well this time i need to learn deeper so i could teach BETTER.
I want to do better than what I see in the industry –
The world Needs it.
Two days before New Years – I witnessed my mother-in-law having a stroke and had to panic drive her to the ER.
Last October 2024, she was diagnosed with Brain Cancer.
I’ve been all the things I usually am, and a Caregiver on top of it because she lives with us.
It’s made me question a lot of things around my work
It’s stretched me mentally, emotionally, and physically to capacity.
👉I started to teach myself how to regulate my nervous system and…
I HAVE NOT LOOKED BACK – It shifted everything.
Through it – I started educating myself about Trauma and Regulation practices to understand my own Nervous System.
And through that….all the pieces just kept falling into place:
- Why manifesting works for some but not others
- Why certain people Deflect Healing even though it’s the best thing for them
- Why you can’t meditate away a panic attack because well that’s stupid lol
- Why we say we want to heal but we’re usually using a vast array of Spiritual Copouts to avoid doing the deep work.
- Why you can’t really ground with a crystal but you think you can
- Why ascension symptoms just reveal dysregulation in the nervous system teaching you to heal.
“Why “money blocks” are just a BS term - why obsessing about limited beliefs is damaging…
–
It began to all fall together so profoundly that i’m still putting the pieces together.
But What I do know is certain,
No more Spiritual copouts,
it’s not that we’re doing it wrong, the problem is we created all these Spiritual Coping Mechanisms because we didn’t see the real issue isn’t:
“Being Ungrounded”
It’s that after spiritually awakening we’re conscious of our emotional baggage and literally feel “unsafe” in our body and search for safety outside of ourselves.
through:
money
love,
relationships
external resources
materialism
Comforts
Anything that says
I’m safe.
The journey home is about recognizing your Wholeness.
Realizing Safety within yourself.
And FROM THERE
Embodying Your Highest Self and what comes with that
The Journey Forward
I am no guru, “Superior being’, ascended master,
Astrologer, Energy Reporter, intergalactic channeler.
however you see me – that Ashley has died…
I am just me, imperfectly human,
and
The journey forward with me will be about
Doing the real Work
where sustainable healing is possible,
manifesting is a by-product and
Emotional Freedom is your Birthright.
This is why Energy Work is Needed
Because
The Mind-Body Revolution is Alive
And your Wholeness is needed
now more than ever,
I no longer want to guide people to “manifest their higher self.”
I want to help you feel safe enough to become it.
Maybe that’s what the awakening is really about after all
