She stands in the shadows of the area. Nothing but a long dark corridor behind her and the bright vast openness of the arena in front of her. Her heart pounds and beads of sweat drip down her temples. She can hear the roar of the crowd demanding to see a fight. Demanding to see what she’s made of. She has spent years in the bowels of the arena. Years of intense training and conditioning. Years of walking through fire after fire. Each one burning off the heavy excess of what once weighed her down. And although she doesn’t know what beasts wait to challenge her in the arena… The option to turn back is certain death. The death of a soul that has now become so free and so exposed, to turn back would mean depriving it of the oxygen it requires to thrive. Suffocation of the soul. As she stands there, the tips of her toes feel the heat of the sun. The thunderous rhythm of her heart syncs up with the sounds of the drums calling her forwards. The sharp pangs of fear course through every nerve ending in her body. Her throat is parched and her knees weak. But she know she must step. Her time to stand tall in the arena is now. She knows she’s ready. And in one fleeting moment she anchors her feet to the earth, quiets the voices swimming around her mind, collects the fearful energy pulsing through her veins, and steps. And as the sun hits her body and the roar of the crowd grows louder… She hears nothing, sees nothing, and cares not of the beasts that wait to challenge her. Because in that one fleeting moment she remembers exactly who she is. And she realizes that the arena is home. ___ ___ ___ Your Host - Katie B . . . . . . . #realrebelpodcast #rrpcrew #arena #stepintothearena #couragequotes #couragetochange #courageovercomfort #imperfectcourage #bravestwarriors #bravesoul #bravehearts #showup #showupforyourlife #inspiringwords #powerfulwords #powerfulpoetry #inspirationalthoughts #spiritualbadass #warriorspirit #warriorgoddess #empoweringwords #empoweringquotes

She is love. Every square inch of her body is composed of love. Every glance, every word, every touch is seeped in love. She has faced demon after demon, each of them convinced they would defeat her. Each one sorely mistaken. She walks this earth with the most powerful force resting deep in her belly. Yet she doesn’t advertise its potency. She doesn’t need to. It can be felt lightyears away. It radiates from her core like a homing signal. It heals without contact and connects without ties. With it she walks into the darkest corners of our world without skipping a beat. Without questioning her survival. Day after day she finds her steadiness in love. Day after day she waits patiently. She waits for lights to be switched on in the eyes of those around her and across the globe. Lights of remembrance. Remembrance that they too are composed of this potent force. That they need not search for complex answers outside of themselves. But simply look within and remember what they’ve forgotten. That our worlds most intricate problems can be solved with one very simple and elegant answer. Love.

Enough empty deals. Enough being sold a lie. Enough believing that lie is true. Enough trading time for money. Enough pretending the life we’ve been told is the holy grail, the root to happiness, the answer to our suffering, is anything but a way to cut us off at our knees to keep us from running. From running towards the call of our soul. Towards our freedom, our joy, our power. Towards our true home. Enough looking at each other and pretending we don’t see our shared pain. That we don’t see the emptiness that slowly takes up residence in our eyes when we’ve exited our bodies. When we’ve succumbed to the weight of the system. Enough berating each other for our differences. Enough being afraid that being different means definite suffering and judgment. Enough covering up our truth for the sake of appearances. Enough being sold too. I’m so fucking done with the funnels, the ads, the bullshit. We are not walking dollar signs. The energy powerful organizations spend on suppressing the human soul is the smoking gun. It is proof that they fear the power of the soul above all else. The power of connection with self followed by complete collective connection. They fear the certain collapse of the system designed to feed their greed and the vacant space their soul once took up residence in. They fear love. They fear oneness. So enough. Enough selling our souls for cheap and empty promises. That shit is over.

This is a tribute. A tribute to a fallen Rebel. Yesterday I found out someone from the RRP Crew passed away in a car crash. She was just 29. And she was lovely. Brave and full of light. Beautiful in every sense of the word. I was lucky to have connected with her as often as I did. And am sad I missed the chance to ever meet her in person. As is often the case when we experience a death that lands close to home, we are reminded of the beautiful fragility of life. We remember that we are on borrowed time. And that we never know when the door will close for us. But this is what it is to be human. This is life. This is contrast. And this is what makes each moment so special. The fact that it is finite. So this is a reminder. A reminder to not waste one more second not believing you’re worthy of whatever it is you think you’re not worthy of. You’re worthy. End of story. A reminder to show up the way you really want to show up to this life. To allow your soul the freedom of its full expression while you’re here. To love so fiercely it shakes the very ground you stand on. To speak so freely and so clearly that no one ever questions where you stand, including you. To listen so intently that you’re able to hear the wisdom in the spaces between words. To live so bravely that every day you dance along the edge of your own boundaries. This is also a reminder to relish in the little things. The things you won’t realize you miss until they’re gone. They way your loved ones look at you, the way they move, their little quirks. The sound of the door closing when they’ve come home. In essence… This is a reminder to show up for this life the best way you know how. And to appreciate what is here for you, right now. You were given this gift for a reason. So use it.
