The Paradigm Shift & how I am living it
We hear talk of the paradigm shift often, but what does it actually mean and how do we navigate that in our own personal realities?
As my business, calling, and design all orient around the paradigm shift and building something new, I figured it was high time to talk more specifically around what it all means and how I am walking the talk in my own life.
Let’s get the basics down first…
1
A paradigm is a model in which we live. It contains systems and structures we abide by that shape our beliefs and how we show up. A paradigm is based on a larger contextual narrative, cultural influence, and familial imprints.
The collective paradigm shapes our own individual paradigm... our personal matrix, and the lens we use to perceive our inner and outer reality. There are a myriad of factors at play, which is why it’s key to curate what we take in (info, food, medicine, people, environment) and cultivate what we put out (aka continue to grow who you are and what you create).
2
The paradigm is shifting in 3 main ways. The systems and structures are breaking down - education, economy, healthcare, etc. The collective consciousness is expanding. And, our energy systems are transforming. All of this influences and impacts how we understand our place in life.
One of the main reasons for this shift is due to the recognition and remembrance of our spiritual essence. Our true nature can no longer be suppressed by limitation and fear. We are meant to be free.
3
The new paradigm is built through each of us. When you are born to build the new, you'll have an intuitive sense and drive toward the creation of that - as an idea, vision, purpose, or mission. Your job is to follow that calling to bring it through. The new is built through us. It’s also built when we build ourselves.
That makes this time in our world one of rich transformation and opportunity often under the guise of challenge. Every new perspective that enters our reality steers us toward more conscious choices… ideally. Once we choose to use our gifts toward the build of the kind of world we want to live in, we further activate evolution and expansion, individually and collectively.
Why I care & what I’m doing to shift the paradigm
For as long as I can remember, I knew I was born to create the new. Any situation I was in, whether personal or professional, I’d have visions of how it could be optimised.
I am a question asker, futurist, creative visionary, highly tuned into the energy of what is and what could be.
Every healer I’ve gone to, coach I've worked with, personality test I’ve taken, and design chart I’ve done (astrology, human design, gene keys), all said the same thing, “You are here to shift the paradigm.”
Growing up, I assumed everyone was like this - tuned into purpose and potential, reading-seeing-sensing energy, having visions of ideal outcomes. Except they weren't!
It took me awhile to accept this because I had a deep inner knowing that more of "my people" were out there. Except I couldn't find them.
What that forced/invited me to do was to get super clear about my truth, what I stand for, what I sense, and how I live that. Through trial and error, I learned to reconfigure my business offers to speak to more directly to the people who too are born to build the new.
Turns out, there are many of us! The more we can connect what we do on the daily with the larger shift unfolding, the more empowered and capable we will become in building what we are here for.
For the longest time, I couldn't see how I was building the new in my own life. It was clear professionally. All of my courses and services support those born to build the new with what typically comes up along the path. I talk about the paradigm shift in my podcast, newsletter, my social shares.
Then I had one of those - I can't believe I didn't see this - moments where it was so obvious how my personal life was also new paradigm in its approach.
It's how I take care of myself and how I'm restoring my vitality. It's how I live intuitively, including the inner directive that prompted us to move abroad. It's how I geek out over the design framework systems (astrology, human design, and gene keys) and will talk the ear off of anyone who dares to give me their birth info.
Being able to see how I'm walking the talk professionally AND personally gave me a huge boost of clarity, confidence, and connection with my path, which has been incredibly transformational.
I have become a new, more true, and aligned version of myself.
That's what you'll find in the 3 Substacks I have. They are my personal experience of being born to build the new. Perhaps you’ll see yourself in them too. Here they are:
