If I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings, this is what I would tell you about religion:

1. Religion teaches you separation (which is the first true sin) from God, that God is above you, in the sky, sitting on a throne, judging you, condemning you from birth, withholding everlasting life unless you follow a certain set of conditions.

2. Religion programs you for a life of conditional and judgmental love. From the beginning, you’re told God loves you unconditionally and then IMMEDIATELY followed with “only if you follow these guidelines.” Also, if you don’t follow these guidelines, you’ll be judged and thrown in Hell for your “sins.”

3. The more religious you are, the farther away you stray from God. God is unconditionally loving and unconditionally supportive. Religion programs you to believe the exact opposite, denying your true identity as God in Human form.

4. Religion is banking on you not THINKING. Let me explain something to you; you ARE NOT your body. You ARE NOT a human being. You are God. You are a spiritual being in a physical body, God experiencing itself as a Human. Now, if you are spirit and not your body, that means that who you truly are is nonphysical. How is a nonphysical, spiritual being going to be banished to a physical place?

5. Religion programs you to use the Bible against yourself, to keep you small, in fear, under control, and in bondage. I bet you’ve been using Matthew 19:16-30 to justify poverty, haven’t you?

I’m not here to bash religion. I’m here to remind you that religion is keeping you from experiencing God as intended, as One, always aware of your connection to the Infinite, and forever expanding and expressing more of the God in you!

It’s time to use that free will God gave you and choose Faith based on understanding rather than fear based on ignorance🦋

religion has definitely taken away the true message of God an uses quotes out of context to justify heinous behaviour when God is all about love an unity.

If I wasn’t afraid of commitment 😅

I lowkey LOVE tattoos and I’m honestly jealous of people who can fully commit to them 😭✨ Sadly… that could never be me. I change my mind way too much, and I just know a year later I’d be staring at it like “why did I do that?” 😂 But if I could commit long-term, there are definitely a few tattoos

At 59, I wasn’t afraid of aging.

For decades I did everything I was taught to do: work hard, be responsible, hold the house and the family together. And yet… I still didn’t feel free. There was always another bill, another sacrifice, another “maybe later.” At 59, I realized something… waiting for retirement isn’t a plan —

I overcame so much that was meant to destroy me. I grew through situations designed to keep me small. I healed loudly through sharing my trauma, and today I can share my healing. I faced suppression and had my name dragged through the mud for many years only to become what they were most afraid of.

Afraid to Check Your Bank Account? Read

I used to avoid opening my banking app too. Not because I didn’t want to know… but because I already knew. I knew the number would make my chest drop. I knew it meant another week of stretching every dollar and hoping nothing unexpected happened. And the worst part? I was working full-time.

If fear wasn’t stopping you, who would you become?

What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Not afraid to fail. Not afraid to be judged. Not afraid to start over. Be real with yourself—there’s something you’ve been delaying because doubt feels louder than your dreams. But fear isn’t a stop sign. It’s a signal you’re close to something bigger.

I’ve had multiple people reach out to me and tell me something that means a lot to me. They all say “you’re so real and relatable.” Well yes, because I don’t sugar coat shit. I talk about things we are all going through or struggling with. Things so many are just afraid to say it out loud.

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to admit is that I wasn’t okay.

For a long time, I thought being strong meant carrying everything by myself. Being a mom. Being a caregiver. Being the person everyone depends on. Being the one who always finds a way. I ignored my emotions because I didn’t understand them. I convinced myself I just needed to push harder.
