I’ve Shared My Steps. Now It’s Your Turn to Take One.

I’ve Shared My Steps. Now It’s Your Turn to Take One.
Becoming more intuitive doesn’t always feel like growth in the beginning.
Sometimes, it feels like loss. 
Loss of relationships that were built on avoiding the truth.
Loss of comfort in spaces that once felt familiar.
Loss of old roles you no longer want to play.
Because the more you begin to listen to yourself…
the more you begin to see what no longer fits.

And not everyone will celebrate that. 
Some people will call it distance.
Some will call it “changing.”
Some won’t call it anything—they’ll just quietly step away.

Not because you’re wrong.
But because they’re not ready to be seen that clearly. 
That was one of the harder parts for me. 
I thought becoming intuitive would bring me closer to everyone.
That the more aware I became, the more connected I’d feel.

And in some ways, that’s true.
But connection doesn’t always mean inclusion.

Sometimes it means creating space.
Sometimes it means letting someone walk away without chasing them.
Sometimes it means saying, I understand… and letting that be enough.

People will leave.
Not because you exposed them.
But because your presence no longer supports their avoidance.

And even though that hurts…
you will begin to understand: not everyone is meant to walk the whole path with you.

And that’s okay. 
Because for every person who pulls away, someone else finds their way in.

Someone who’s been looking for a voice like yours.
Someone who feels less alone because you had the courage to speak.
Someone who needed a sign that it was okay to feel what they’re feeling.

That’s what grows as you keep going. 
Not just deeper insight…
but deeper alignment.
Deeper friendships.
Deeper clarity in who you are and how you want to live.

And you realize the gain isn’t always loud—but it’s powerful. 
I’m not here to tell you it’s easy.
But I am here to tell you it’s worth it.

Every part of the journey you’ve taken to listen more.
Every time you caught yourself before spiraling into doubt.
Every small yes to your inner voice when it didn’t make sense yet.

That’s the work. 
That’s the path. 
And it doesn’t end—it keeps opening.

Step by step.
Lesson by lesson.
Signal by signal.

I’ve shared my steps here—not as a map, but as a mirror. 
So you can see your own reflection in the process.
So you don’t feel like you’re the only one waking up to something deeper.
So you have a reminder when it gets quiet, or lonely, or uncertain...

You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.

And the more you trust that, the less you’ll need outside permission to move forward. 
This isn’t the end.

It’s the moment you stop reading about it...
and start becoming it. 
Not all at once.
Just one step.
Your step. 
So breathe. 
Feel. 
And take it.

And if you hear something stir—something simple, something soft...
Don’t dismiss it.
That’s where it starts.
That’s where it always starts.
