Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

By The Artful Woman
    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

Dear Spiritual Gurus: I Don’t Have Time to Float in Space. I Have Shit to Do.

Image
By The Artful Woman

Let’s just get one thing straight: I’m not lazy, undisciplined, or spiritually blocked. I’m busy. I’m living real life. And while you might be out there meditating for two hours in a vortex of blissful stillness, I’ve got heat to beat, animals to feed, a business to run, and a soul that is tired of being told she’s not trying hard enough.

Here’s the truth: I tried. I bought the meditations. I followed the formulas. I did the four-week programs, the six-week programs, the breathwork, the body scans, and the inner journeys. I listened to Dr. Joe Dispenza tell me to feel my body parts in space for what felt like forever. And guess what?

I didn’t find my quantum breakthrough. I found myself pissed off and frustrated, sitting there thinking about my to-do list, the weather, and all the things I could be doing instead of floating in cosmic limbo hoping to manifest a miracle.

I’m Done Trying to Be a Perfect Student

Somewhere along the way, this work stopped feeling like transformation and started feeling like performance. Like if I didn’t do it exactly right — for the full time, every single day, in total stillness, with complete emotional presence — then it wouldn’t work.

And if it didn’t work? It was my fault. I was told I must not be "in alignment." That I was "too much in effort." That I hadn't "trusted the universe enough."

No. I trusted. I tried. And now I’m tired.

Give Me Grounding, Not Guilt

Here’s what actually works for me:

  • Grounding meditations that take 10-15 minutes.

  • Sacred geometry practices like activating the torus field.

  • Breathwork that doesn’t require me to rearrange my whole morning.

  • Practices that respect the fact that I have shit to do and a life to live.

I don’t need another spiritual homework assignment. I need tools that fit inside my life, not ones that ask me to put life on hold while I ascend into an astral waiting room.

You Can Keep Your Quantum Field. I’ll Keep My Sanity.

If the only way to change my life is to spend 30 minutes a day feeling into the edges of my nostrils in space, then honestly, that’s not a path built for humans who live in the real world.

There has to be another way. A way that honors spiritual growth and daily reality. A way that meets people where they are instead of asking them to float above their problems and pretend they don’t exist.

So no, I’m not broken. I’m just done trying to contort myself into a method that doesn’t match my soul. You can keep your cosmic body scans.

I’ll be over here building a grounded, powerful, embodied life. With dirt under my nails, intuition in my gut, and sacred geometry in my back pocket.

Beam me up, sure. But don’t leave me in space.

When Effort Becomes a Block

By The Artful Woman
 When Effort Becomes a Block Dr. Leslie Phillips describes something called “being in effort.” It’s when you try so hard to be connected—over-cleansing, over-reading, over-seeking—that the trying itself creates a block. She teaches that true spiritual connection doesn’t come from effort. It comes from alignment. That landed for me—not because it described what I’m doing wrong, but because it affirmed what I’ve been doing right. I’m not chasing connection. I’m not grasping for signs. I’m not in obsession—I’m in curiosity. I explore what resonates, stay open, and trust. I’m not in effort. I’m in flow. And that, too, is surrender. Effort Blocks Flow Being “in effort” is a subtle but powerful block. It doesn’t just apply to manifestation—it applies to everything: Growing your intuition Opening to spirit Deepening your healing Feeling “spiritual enough” When you push too hard—even toward something beautiful—you risk making it about the ego’s need for control...

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

By The Artful Woman
  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Why You’re Stuck: Clearing the Energy Behind Procrastination, Overwhelm, and Avoidance

By The Artful Woman
You know that feeling. You have things to do—maybe even big, exciting dreams to chase—but somehow, you're not moving. You’re staring at your to-do list, avoiding the same tedious task for the third day in a row, telling yourself, “I’ll start tomorrow.” But tomorrow keeps slipping away. So what’s really going on? Feeling stuck isn’t laziness or lack of discipline. It’s energy. And that energy is often tangled up in limiting beliefs , mental overwhelm , and emotional stagnation that lives inside the body. Let’s break it down: 1. Limiting Beliefs: The Invisible Walls Limiting beliefs are those quiet, persistent thoughts that say: “I’m not good enough.” “I always mess things up.” “Why bother? It won’t work anyway.” “I’m just not organized.” These beliefs often hide in the background, quietly directing our decisions. They act like energetic walls, preventing us from moving forward even when the path is clear. And the most frustrating part? You can’t always see ...

Surrender Is the New Power

By The Artful Woman
I’ve been sitting with this idea of surrender lately. Not the “throw your hands in the air” kind of surrender. Not the “give up because it’s too hard” kind. But the holy, grounded, soul-level kind of surrender— the kind that says: “I trust something bigger than me is guiding this.” I Used to Know How to Surrender When my dad died, I broke. I didn’t know how to cope with the loss, so I did what so many do—I fell into a bottle and tried to drink my way through the grief. I wasn’t an alcoholic. I was human. Hurting. Numb. And then one day, I found myself in church. A song came on—a Christian song with the words: “Deeply broken. Wholly surrendered.” And something in me cracked wide open. I sang along through tears. And in that moment, I didn’t just sing the words— I became them. Deeply broken. Wholly surrendered. I let go of what I could never control. And from that moment on, life slowly started to meet me with grace. But Somewhere Along the Way, I Took It Back Over time, I...
