It’s Friday, and you know what that means—time to spill my soulful thoughts and reflections. Don’t forget to grab your meditation and journal prompts at the bottom of this post. This week, let’s explore surrenderrr!!
Lately, I’ve been resisting the urge to force my way through yet another creative process. You know, the kind where you spend countless hours, pour in all your mental energy, just to feel that rush of completion. But for what? Especially when marketing what I create has never felt like my strength. It’s a defeating feeling, to say the least.
This time around, I’m taking a different approach. I built an outline, filled it with all the details I thought I needed, and then—I set it aside. Instead of pushing myself into overdrive, I’m allowing space. I’m waiting to see what unfolds. Maybe this project will be the one that ties together all my knowledge and skills, the one that reaches the masses and creates real change. Or maybe, it’s the thing that will make me feel like I’ve finally “made it” on my entrepreneurial journey.
But there’s something beautiful in not knowing. In being unattached.
Not doing it in a rushed way makes me feel open—open to the journey, open to learning, and open to becoming truly masterful instead of trying to fake it until I make it.
For so long, I’ve had to “play the game”—to survive. So many times, I’ve pushed myself to prove I could do it. Not just to others, but to myself. And here’s the thing: I did prove it. I’ve shown myself time and time again that I can accomplish almost anything I set my mind to. Maybe it’s not always perfect, but it’s done.
Over the past five years, I’ve immersed myself in the wellness field. I’ve studied so many topics that sometimes I feel like that old saying: “Jack of all trades, master of none.”
But then I think back to my hairstyling days. I spent over ten years focusing on haircutting, and during that time, I truly felt like a master. I could talk for hours about hair textures, shaping techniques, and all the nuances of the craft. I loved it, and I still do.
But as a Manifesting Generator, I knew there was more I wanted to explore. Wellness has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl, although I didn’t recognize it for what it was back then. Over the years, my journey into understanding the body, mind, and spirit has brought me closer to my true self. It’s helped me forgive, heal, transform, and rebirth myself time and time again.
Now, I’m reflecting on what it means to know my purpose and dedicate my energy to it. That’s where I find myself today—grounded in all the wandering I’ve done over the years, ready to settle into a space of mastery once again.
There’s a whisper I’ve been hearing lately, one that tells me: This is it. Stick with it. Be in flow.
I’m choosing not to force things, not to overdo them just because of the pressure I’ve felt in the past. So much of my previous success came from moments when I had no idea what I was doing, but I trusted the process. I look back and see all the times God had my back, gently guiding me to new opportunities, even when I didn’t understand the path.
Moving to a new city led me to an unexpected school, which in turn opened doors I didn’t even know existed. A school presentation led to a phone call, which took me to another city, and somehow, the right opportunities followed. Each of these moments taught me to let go and trust the wind that carried me.
And when that wind blew again, I packed up and moved, not knowing why, but trusting that it was leading me to something greater. And it did—it led me to love.
Now, I’m ready to let the wind guide me again. This time, I’m letting go of the walls my mind has built—walls made from fear and the need to control the outcome.
This season of life feels so precious. We never really know what’s going to happen, and there’s something freeing in that.
As I sit here listening to jazz, my home filled with the smell of freshly baked banana muffins, I feel deeply grounded in this moment. I’m choosing to be intentional with this next phase of my life. I’m committing to taking my time, to waking up each day and striving to be the best version of myself.
I know that with love and support, I can honor this life I’ve been blessed with. By staying connected to my body and the spirit of God, I’ll have the strength to keep coming back to what’s truly important.
My motivation will come from a place of flow and ease, lighting the path ahead as I step into what’s next.
As you read through these reflections, I encourage you to pause and think about your own journey. Have you felt that same pull to surrender and trust the process? How are you navigating your purpose, your path, and your own flow? I’d love to hear where you are right now—share your thoughts in the chat so we can connect!!
Remember, Soulful Reflections is here to remind you to take time for yourself, to reflect on where you’re at, and to embrace whatever feelings surface. It’s a weekly practice of self-care that we hold together through meditation, journaling, and connection. Let’s hold each other accountable in this sacred space, and keep showing up for ourselves, one reflection at a time.
Peace and Love on Your Journey,
Chelsea

Journal Prompts: Reflect on an area of your life where you’ve been trying to force control or rush an outcome.
How would it feel to release that need for control and trust the natural flow of the process?
What might unfold if you allowed yourself to be guided instead of pushing forward?
