I Don’t Want to Be the Thought Leader…. But I Do Want You to Get the Wisdom
Let’s just start here:
I consume a lot of content.
And when something lands… when something truly resonates…it penetrates me.
That’s how I work….That’s how I’m designed….Literally, in the Human Design system, I carry the Cross of Penetration energy.
It means I take things in deeply. They break through my surface, not in a casual way, but in a life-altering way.
And then, what happens next? I break it open for others.
Because that’s what I do.
I don’t want to be the smartest person in the room.
I don’t want to be your guru or your thought leader.
But I do want to hand you the thing that just lit a fire inside of me and say, “Here. Take this. Use it. Let it rearrange you the way it did me.”
The Thing That Hit Me Hard This Time?
That most people are trying to make two sales at once:
"Do I want this?"
"Can I afford this?"
Annd the mistake we make is trying to answer both at the same time.
That was the moment for me.
Sixteen years of solo-entreprenurship … I’m always having to sell…. from massage therapy to health products to digital offers….it has never been easy for me….. and finally someone put words to the very thing that always made me uncomfortable:
I was trying to justify the cost before I even let people fall in love with the thing.
But I get it now.
The way I choose couches, or bed frames, or even who I’m attracted to when I walk into a room…. it’s immediate….Instinctual…..Desire shows up before logic.
But life taught me to suppress that.
To kill desire unless it was already practical.
To not want too much.
To only reach for what I could already afford.
And damn if that hasn’t shaped my entire relationship to selling.
I’m Not Selling Massage Therapy….. I'm Selling Me
I’ve spent years trying to explain what I do as a fascial massage therapist.
And honestly? I’m done trying to sell massage therapy as a modality.
Because the truth is:
I don’t even get massages that often. I don’t love being touched by people I don’t fully trust.
My body knows who’s safe and who’s not. And even though I love the human body and the science behind how it works, I didn’t become a massage therapist because I wanted to rub people for a living.
I became one because I had to know how the body works……..Because I didn’t want to be at the mercy of a medical system that couldn’t fully see me.
And massage therapy gave me a legitimate reason to go deep into that study and to help others from a place of embodied wisdom.
So no, I’m not selling massage therapy.
I’m selling the experience of working with me.
With everything I carry, everything I know, and everything I see when you’re on the table.
Social Media Makes It Hard Because It Wants Me to Perform
And I don’t want to perform.
Social media teaches you to be a brand….A thought leader….A niche-wrapped expert with endless original content.
But I’m not here for that.
I don’t want to pretend I know it all.
I just want to share what’s changed me, and why it might matter to someone else.
So yeah, my back-end is chaotic.
It’s me sharing posts to myself across different pages, trying to make sure the right audience sees the right wisdom, even if I didn’t write it.
And maybe that’s what The Ignited Path really is:
It’s not me standing at the top of a mountain with a bullhorn.
It’s me walking alongside you, showing you the sparks that helped me keep going.
Saying, “Here. Try this. It helped me. It might help you too.”
Let’s Normalize Wanting More
Start a business.
Try network marketing.
Test affiliate marketing.
Begin with a tiny offer.
Do it messy. Do it unsure.
But do it. Because action brings clarity.
And if you try and realize it’s not for you? That’s okay. That’s wisdom too.
But if the only thing stopping you is this voice in your head saying,
"Who am I to want more?" or
"I can’t afford that, so I shouldn't even consider it,"
I just want to be the one who says:
You’re allowed to want things before you can afford them.
You’re allowed to explore paths without knowing where they lead.
You don’t have to be the expert—you just have to be curious.
