Shaking Off Cancelation for Being True to My Self

MY HISTORY — ORIGINALLY POSTED AUGUST 6, 2024 ON INSTAGRAM@THEPOINTOFYOU

Emotionally cleansing 5-mile-power-walk on the Leif Erickson fireroad trail this morning. Grateful for the inner strength and courage to shake off what feels hurtful (outside of my control) and turn up the dial on my own inside-out JOY and LIGHT!

In the next post I share the release of the REViVE Hope for Health Guidebook that I co-conceived, wrote and/or edited, and designed. I poured all of my wisdom and creativity into this project for two years. Unfortunately, in doing so, I also co-created an unhealthy co-dependent partnership, to which I gave all of my creative energy, and too much personal time that never seemed to be enough, leaving none for my own work. [Notice that my posts for my own work almost completely disappeared.] When attempts failed to realign in a way that would allow my own dreams to be equally consequential and respected, I made the courageous choice to walk away from all the work I had done … and give up what had become half of my income. On the day I took this walk and made this original post, the organization had just launched the book (removing me from it), crediting and thanking “the whole team” by name, but excluding the full credit I deserved. Tough lesson, but if this was the response, then I made the right choice. I’m still proud of the book.
