When we are connected to our authentic selves and the divine, spiritual power of the Universe – we have the ability to inspire others, cultivate stability, bring people together and communicate in a way that empowers and creates change. We hold a spiritual place to thrive.
Whether you’re single or married, it’s up to us as women to create the spiritual inspiration of those close by and as a model for our community.
We are designed by our Divine Source to keep the fires burning and gently stir the embers of compassion and love. When we are connected authentically and spiritually it all seems to flow with grace and ease.
But, you and I both know we don’t always feel connected. We don’t feel authentic or even remember what that is. In fact, we can all easily get disconnected from our spiritual source when we least expect it.
The superwoman syndrome takes over and before we know it we are drowning in to-do lists, chaos, schedules and fear of losing control.
We forget the flow. We forget how to get there.
But we long for that feeling of safety, contentment and knowing. That’s our flow. That’s being connected to our spiritual selves and the source that holds space in each of us.
That is when the world looks like a beautiful, inviting place.
.
When we are disconnected from the Divine, we drop into our lower self. Ego. Drama. Overwhelm. Fear. Stress. The Blame and not good enough Game.
We've all had those times. We totally forget that the only one imprisoning our connection is ourselves. When we’re disconnected from the Divine Source, we can feel like no sees us – and we don’t even want to be seen. We feel sad and confused or sometimes pissed as hell. We cry and know this isn’t right.
We try to latch onto or blame someone out there, but it doesn’t work. Is it them or us? In the midst of chaos, it’s hard to tell.
On the other hand… when we’re connected to our Divine Source and our authentic selves – we are so freakin’ powerful and making it happen. We handle the chaos and all the sh*t that comes along. Even in moments of craziness we might waiver yet always come back to center. We’re able navigate life from a relative place of grace and peace.
I believe our real work as women is to continually work on our connection, inner power and bridge the gap from sometimes – to most of the time.
I believe the ability to stay connected to our Divine Source, cultivate that connection, inspire connection in our families and community – is our finest contribution, an honor, and our birthright.
As the Dalai Lama said: “The world will be saved by the Western Woman.”
It is from this strong spiritual connection to the Divine Source that builds a foundation from which everything blossoms. Sure, some do it without this connection but oftentimes end up with an empty and unsatisfying experience overall.
There isn’t enough money, sex, Botox or new shoes that can fill the hole when craving divine connection.
You too may be feeling this pull. And it’s no longer an option for you to keep going through life without being DEEPY connected to your authentic self and guided by Divine Source.
The yearning is growing. That inner voice is trying to gently (or not so gently) to usher you back to your soul’s path and purpose.
I spent a lot of my own life allowing myself to be disconnected, lost and confused. Times where I was just existing and reacting rather than how I live now – creating life on my own terms and with Divine Source in my back pocket.
I learned the hard way how find my true purpose and power by living only from what others put in front of me. But when I could not do that one more day – I pushed forward and got the real support I needed.
I can honestly say the best feeling for me EVER – is when I follow my heart and take care of me. Only then can I show up and lead, inspire, motivate and love others that way they deserve. I don't have it to give if I don't give it to myself. This has proven to be true over and over again.
I can show you a shortcut and help you to bridge the gap so you can be more in flow…..
It’s for women who want to go deeper, expand bigger, and uplevel any area of their life.

You see, when I found my way, I knew my calling was to support other women find theirs. To serve womankind to create the life and business they truly desire. Yes, I know the journey and eagerly support women who are ready to be in the world with their purpose, with clarity on how to get there and with a contagious confidence.
Women who want to make a difference and truly be who they are meant to be – is that you?
If so, please folllow me over here – this can help.
In love and service

I am so aligned with everything you said, Teresa! It is time for all of us to step more fully into our expansive power! Yay!
Quite a powerful message. Indeed, women are powerful. And, there is nothing like having the Divine Intelligence backing you up with this strength. And, we can do much more also if there are more who are in this state of being.
Beautiful words…true it is important to stay connected and not get lost in everything else.
Beautifully said Teresa. We are in the times to rediscover our spiritual connection.
I have to say I agree wholeheartedly with the Dalai Lama!
I absolutely love this: I
believe the ability to stay connected to our Divine Source, cultivate
that connection, inspire connection in our families and community – is
our finest contribution, an honor, and our birthright. — You know I absolutely believe what you are sharing here:-) I believe self-love is the best love and self-care is critical to keeping us connected to Source! Big hugs – Tandy
So true that when you are taken care of you can take better care of those around you. My doctor always told me that when my children were small and he knew I was neglecting myself.
My faith is central to my life. I pray and connect with God every morning for a while. It is where I get my strength. When I didn’t do that, life was crazy and not as centered.
Never been one to be overly spiritual but I definitely find those girl friends that can help support and lift me up and I, of course, do the same for them.
Beautifully written Teresa. I was involved with the cutting edge of the women’s movement in the early 1970s. As women began to get out of the kitchen and into the boardrooms, what didn’t happen is many men didn’t step up to help out and women now work at home and outside the home. This is individual and each woman has to figure out whether or not this is what is happening for her and whether or not she doesn’t get the help because of her partner or because she won’t give up control. Nevertheless, we need more women building our businesses and serving our country in a rule-making capacity.
It is so important to take care of ourselves and do what is right for us 🙂 I remember when my kids were little all I could do was think about what they needed and I got lost in the mix…..I now realize how important it is to make sure we as women are giving our best selves and to be great just as we are by taking care of ourselves, mentally and physically.
Great share!
We absolutely need to be caretakers of ourselves first. There is a reason why flight attendants tell you to put on your own oxygen first in case of an emergency. You are no good to anyone else if you’re incapacitated.
This line from your post has so much power “I can honestly say the best feeling for me EVER – is when I follow my heart and take care of me.” I too have felt the stress and pull as I make some transitions in my business career. When I know Something SHOULD be done but I am not moved to do it, I have learned to chill out and wait for the right moment to begin. This really works! I accomplish more and feel better
What you are sharing, Teresa, really speaks to both us as individuals and also to a collective ‘we’. As we have seen the feminine rising on the planet, we are seeing a strong backlash against it. You don’t have to look to far to see how that is playing out now…in politics, economics, education etc. If both men and women would honour the divine feminine within both women and men, perhaps we would see the monumental shifts that are needed now to come together and to build a positive future. xo
Such great insight and perspective to contribute, Beverley. Thanks love…
Very inspiring.
Thanks Clive!
I appreciate your message about following your heart, taking care of yourself, & staying connected. These are important actions to success, self-satisfaction and inner peace. We are our best when we feel good about who we are and what we do!
Yes, following our heart is always best for us. Thanks for being here Meghan.
I’m so glad i came across this. Life has been crazy lately and i feel i am losing control. I really need to take a step back and re-evaluate things. I’ve been disconnected from myself for too long to remember.
Hi Sonya, I am so happy this has to remind you to step back and re-evaluate things going on in your life. I do encourage you to find your way back to home which is within. I am here to help you if you would like to explore more – it is what we do here at Empower The Dream. https://www.empowerthedream.com/coaching/
So true that we end up only existing and reacting when we lose our connection to the divine source, Teresa. Everything seems to spiral downwards and it’s a hard job to find stability again. When we feel that connection we are centred and able to reach out and help others.
It truly is so important Tami.
I so agree, Teresa–fostering my connection to my divine source is what keeps me sane, and living a rich, productive life. It’s when that connection gets rusty that my life spirals off track . . . Funny how that happens!
I happens to the best of us Susan but your awareness of how you feel is what keeps bring you back to your source.
Inspiring message! I am not at all spiritual or religious, but I passionately believe in the importance of self-care for every woman so I hope many will take your message to heart. Thanks!
I would call self care a spiritual practice but truly doesn’t matter what we call it. Doing it what is most important.
