    This is one of my favourite conversations to date. If you're a part of our community on Instagram, you've heard me talk about The Great Awakening - inviting you to rise into your role in The Great Awakening. But what does that mean? What is this Awakening? We're exploring what is The Great Awakening occurring now, the restoration of the feminine, the role of chaos as symptoms of this shift, the birthright everyone has to this awakening, and 3 keys to awakening your own divine knowing as your embodied experience.

  • 047 // The Empowerment in Walking Away with Alex Modzelewski
    Apr 1 2023
    Today's conversation explores the ultimate question of "When do I walk away from something?" through Alex's graciousness to share her story with us. It is a powerful reflection on cultural ideas around "quitting" that are deeply ingrained in many of us - is choosing something new or different quitting? What is quitting? Why might our view of ⁠endings⁠ prevent us from letting go of what no longer serves us and stepping into what can? What we learn through this journey is that walking away is a liberator and catalyst for growth and expansion. I don't call that quitting, I call that empowerment. ✨ Ascend to Luminous Leadership, Radiant Embodiment, & Divine Alignment: ⁠⁠⁠https://resoul.earth/coaching⁠⁠⁠ 🌟 Activate Your Next-Level as a High-Level Spiritual Leader with My Signature Coaching Program: ⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/resoul-with-lydia/consultation ⁠⁠⁠ I’m Lydia Picoli, priestess, spiritual coach, international speaker, Ivy League master’s candidate, academic researcher, and retreat leader.
