Change sounds sexy—until you’re in it.
It’s not always bold, brave, or beautiful. (Sometimes, it’s outright messy!)
Yes, change is inevitable. But how you move through it? That’s your empowered choice.
How I Learned This Truth (The Beautiful Burn)
Leaving the stock market to build my soul-aligned business?
That part came easy.
It felt like spreading my wings and gliding into a new reality I knew was mine.
But going from five to six figures?
That was the slow burn.
Not because I didn’t have the strategy or the skill—
but because I had to become the version of me who could hold that expansion.
I was deep in the archetype I now call The Resistant Shifter—waiting for the outside to validate or call forthwardreflectmatchrepresent a version of me I hadn’t fully claimed on the inside.
I had to grieve the smaller self,
shed outdated perceptions,
and stretch into an identity that no longer fits into tidy boxes.
Embodying my role as a guide, a healer, a soul-led strategist, wasn’t a moment.
It was a becoming. Quiet. Gradual. Real.
They say to really know something, you need to teach it. As I guided my students through the New Era, New You process (part of my Soul-Led Evolution Mentorship), my own realization deepened.
Everyone was changing—but in such different ways.
Some leapt.
Some lingered.
Some waited until life gave them no choice.
That’s when I started seeing the archetypes emerge.
And now? I want to show them to you as a tool for your own growth journey.
The 3 Archetypes of Change
These aren’t labels. They’re lenses. One (or all) will feel like home.
The Change Junkie
Loves the leap. Avoids the pause.
🌞 Light Expression – The Leap-Taker
You trust your gut. You move fast when it’s right. You don’t need a 27-step strategy to follow a soul yes.
How it shows up in the wild: You book a plane ticket after a dream. Say yes before your head catches up. You leap and build wings on the way down.
🌑 Shadow Expression – The Grenade Thrower
You call it change, but really? It’s an escape. You create chaos because stillness feels scarier than motion—especially when you haven’t yet learned to discern instinct from intuition.
How it shows up in the wild: You quit mid-project. Start over again and again. You burn bridges and call it clarity, when it’s really discomfort.
Discern:
“Is this a leap of faith… or a run from fear?”
Shift This:
Pause. Breathe. Ask: Does this come from trust… or tension?
The Aligned Contemplator
Waits for resonance. Slows down even when it’s time to move.
🌞 Light Expression – The Soul-Timer
You move when it feels right—not when the world says go. When you act, it lands.
How it shows up in the wild: You hold back a launch because something’s still integrating. When you do move, it’s powerful and clean.
🌑 Shadow Expression – The Resistant Shifter
You’ve heard the yes. But you’re still “prepping.” Still stalling. Still rearranging the plan and calling it alignment.
How it shows up in the wild: The program sits in draft. The idea stays in your notes. You keep perfecting while your soul is beyond ready.
Discern:
“What’s the actual fear underneath the delay?”
Shift This:
Choose one small, sacred action. Let it show you what your mind can’t yet see.
The Deep Integrator
Change takes time—but once it happens, it sticks.
🌞 Light Expression – The Sacred Shifter
You don’t do surface shifts. You go deep. When you say yes, you mean it—and you don’t go back.
How it shows up in the wild: You process internally. When you act, it’s embodied. Permanent. You don’t question it later.
🌑 Shadow Expression – The Crisis Collector
You avoid change until life throws down the ultimatum. The signs pile up. You don’t shift until something breaks.
How it shows up in the wild: You stay in the job. The relationship. The loop. You know it’s unsustainable, but you wait until burnout forces your hand.
Discern
“What truth have I been whispering to myself… that I haven’t acted on yet?”
Shift This:
Speak it. Say it out loud. Give that truth a voice before life does it for you.
Lead or Be Led
You’re not here to react.
You’re here to rise. To lead. To thrive.
Not from old patterns—but through renewed purpose.
When you’re leading the shift, you’re not grinding through the gears—you’re shifting with intention.
Soul Check-In
Let these questions bring you back to yourself—and restore balance wherever you’ve been moving from the shadow expression of your Archetype.
- What’s been driving my change lately—and how’s that working for me?
- What inner wisdom am I finally ready to speak—even if my voice shakes?
- Where am I mistaking motion for momentum—and what would real alignment look like instead?
- What boundary would support a healthier relationship with change—and what’s one small step I can take today to put it in place?
Change Without the Growing Pains
There comes a moment when change is no longer negotiable—
not because life demands it,
but because your soul is calling you forward.
If that’s where you are,
I invite you into a space where your evolution is honoured, witnessed, and guided.
Understand your archetypes, not to use them as excuses, but to empower yourself to use your strengths and listen to those soul whispers.
Change is inevitable, but how you show up? That determines your outcome.
