Three tools you'll develop to FINALLY exhale are:
embracing vulnerability
To exhale and breathe in the capacity you desire, you must be diligently working towards vulnerability to be fully seen by yourself and your sisters in this cohort. Vulnerability is the way to breathing, exhaling because it releases the suppression.
creating balance
You can't be a savior to everyone. Creating balance requires you to begin to see yourself in this light: you're fully divine + you're fully human = you're fully worthy. Once you're able to stand in yourr inherent balance you'll slow down and understand there's no need to rush. And the abundance you seek (which is REST) surrounds you.
prioritizing selfhood
Implementing boundaries is vital for your need to exhale. This is accomplished by understanding the wealth of your inherent worth.

hey, HEY! My name is Cody — I'm an interfaith pastor, intuitive healer, and, yes, witch. I intend to heal, liberate, correct, and protect.
I was raised in a deeply conservative Christian space, and I was taught to take the Bible literally. I was a bible-thumper. I constantly defended the bible out of ignorance instead of listening to the individual and honoring their humanity. I was a homophobe because folks told me being queer or gay wasn't Christ-like. I believed it because I didn't think about scripture for myself.
I was so horrible. I once told a lesbian she didn't have her kids because she was gay. That was 100 percent fucked up! Yet, I learned being gay, which I am, has nothing to do with being Christ-like. Sexuality is holy because Spirit is holy!
When I attended seminary, I began to think about Christianity and the Bible for myself. And boy did I get liberated!
I began to think about God for myself via womanism: an interfaith spiritual practice centering on the experience of Black women and women of color, whether it's relating to business, culture, spirituality, or everyday life. Womanism helped me view the biblical text from a liberation perspective by understanding my experience, as a black queer femme, differently; by seeing myself in the text! Practicing womanism helped me decolonize the ways I thought about God (and myself). I understood that ALL folks are made in the image of God despite nationality, sexuality, or spirituality.
Womanism presents God/Spirit as inclusive and bigger than any sacred text. Womansim saved and healed me.
