When your inner saboteur becomes your guide...

The moment you stop fighting yourself is the moment your soul starts leading again.

There is something I find quite amazing that happens when you stop meeting your inner saboteur with judgment and the wrath of your inner critic.

Most people respond to self-sabotage with shame. They call themselves lazy, inconsistent, uncommitted, or “not ready enough.” They assume that if they can just push harder, the pattern will go away.

But when you look a little deeper… something else emerges.

Self-sabotage has never been the enemy. It has always been an expression of a younger part of you that didn’t know how to be with the intensity of your own soul.

When you meet your saboteur with open-heartedness the entire pattern transforms.

It does because you start to see what’s underneath:

A part of you that is convinced your brightness will break you. A part of you that believes following your soul might cost you love, belonging, identity, safety. A part of you that fears your full expression will expose you to old wounds you’ve never learned to resolve.

And suddenly, you begin to understand.

Your saboteur hasn’t been trying to ruin your life. It’s been trying to point you towards the most tender, frightened parts of you that crave your own love.

It has been a shadow guide all along… One that shows you exactly where your inner fractures are, and where your devotion to your soul has been interrupted.

When you meet this part of you with compassion, presence, and reparenting… you stop abandoning yourself. You stop collapsing in the face of your own gifts. You stop negotiating against your soul.

Something remarkable happens then: You feel free to explore your edges again. You feel free to shine imperfectly. You feel free to bring more of your truth into the world. You feel free to honor your soul, and not just when it’s convenient.

That’s the kind of spiritual maturation these times demand of us.

This is the beginning of devotion.

I truly believe that you can’t fully be devoted to your soul without being devoted to a healthy relationship to your inner saboteur and the parts of you that are afraid of what your light will expose you to.
