I recently returned home from an 8-day retreat in Costa Rica with friends, colleagues, and some of the most thought-provoking teachers I know.

There was one moment that stood out… one idea that’s still echoing in my heart. And I want to share it with you because it might unlock something for you, too.

In this retreat we were invited to sit with a new set of questions. Not to answer them right away, but to let them work on us. One question in particular stayed with me:

“What if I knew I am completely supported?”

(… because too often, it’s so easy to feel like you’re doing it alone and that you’re the only one in your corner, rooting you on.)

Not just in theory, but in real time. What if I let that be true in my life?

What dreams would I decide to go after? What audacious goals would I set? Would I continue overworking, trying to make it happen on my own? Could things get a little smoother and feel a little easier and happen a little faster?

That question softened something in me. I’ve spent so much of my life believing I had to hold everything together. To make things happen. To prove, perform, and push. But what if I didn’t?

The more I returned to the question, the more I noticed my thoughts and choices beginning to shift. I wasn’t gripping so tightly. I wasn’t strategizing every moment.

I started letting go of the idea that I needed to have it all figured out, and instead began trusting that I could take the next step without knowing the whole path.

One consistent idea or question, held with intention, can begin to shift the foundation we stand on.

That’s the power of thinking in alignment with our co-creative nature – not just relying on our intellect, but also taking counsel from our intuition, our non-linear intelligence system through which we access our inner brilliance, our own “Einstein ideas”. 

When we walk through life knowing we’re supported, we carry ourselves differently. We pause more. We listen more. We create with more ease.

That question, “What if I knew I am completely supported?” became more than a mindset. It became a lens through which I could see new possibilities.

So I offer this to you today:

What might shift if you lived from the assumption that you are fully supported? … from the assumption that all the resources required for you to enjoy your unique success journey already exist and are accessible?

And by merely knowing you are resourced and supported, even if you don’t yet know what those resources and solutions are, flow is amplified?

Not someday. Not when the circumstances are perfect. Right now.

Let that idea walk with you this week. Let it shape your tone, your pace, your next conversation. Let it give you permission to stop carrying the heavy, unnecessary stuff that’s not yours to carry.

Support doesn’t have to be loud or visible, and it doesn’t have to be a struggle to find. Sometimes it’s a quiet knowing. A calmer breath. A softer posture. A moment of clarity.

You don’t have to do it all alone. Maybe you were never meant to??

With appreciation,
