Listen, I’m issuing a warning. Be careful if you choose to come near my orbit. The gravitational pull of my nature may cause you to do unreasonable things. Give birth to books. Say yes to your sacred work in the world. Leave damaging relationships. Choose heart over money. Manifest a life in alignment with who you already are. Not who you’re becoming later when you improve, but who you are underneath all of it. I am a force of nature activating others who are ready for the pattern interrupt of a lifetime, but be careful. That centripetal force is a real pull toward the center of what matters. There’s a cost when we say yes. But I know as well as you do that there’s an even greater cost when we keep saying no to what we really want. So Dear Ones, I want to talk about inner kryptonite. When your superpower is connected to your weak spot, we’re going to touch on unreasonable love. We’re going to touch on calling down the lightning. And there’s an invitation to join me for Stardust Lineage Legend or for a year-long mastermind for women ready to make powerhouse choices unlike anything I’ve ever offered before with my dear friend Amy Ahlers. But first, let’s explore the glowing green stone. Have you ever noticed that your superpower may also be the underbelly of your biggest challenge? I have. Today, it’s all coming through to me. Do you remember how wonderful it was to watch that first Superman movie? We saw someone take on supernatural powers we wish we had, like flying and saving the world. And then we felt that collective sigh as we watched him become absolutely powerless in the presence of kryptonite. Kryptonite, that glowing green mineral made of fragments from Superman’s destroyed home planet, Krypton. I can’t help but notice that it comes from the place he’s from, from the destroyed place of home. And that destroyed place of home drains strength and leaves him powerless. It didn’t begin in the comics. It started on the radio in 1943. And it’s curious because there’s a much-loved story that kryptonite was invented so the actor who voiced Superman on the radio, Bud Collyer, could take time off. A weakness invented so a hero could rest. That is very apropos. The image of kryptonite stuck with us. It’s used in business and in relationships. And we may not always know what our superpowers are, but a lot of us know what our kryptonite is. This theme of the weakness of the hero goes back into the Greeks too. Remember when Achilles was a baby and his mother, Thetis, the sea goddess, dipped him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable? She held him by one heel. So, maybe most of us have a weak heel. Maybe most of us who carry a superpower also carry our version of kryptonite. I know, I certainly do. And I believe there is power in knowing what yours is and then letting it shed light on the gifts that you’re carrying. That’s what we do in Intentional Creativity. We create experiences to show you your power. And then we invite you to see your kryptonite and make it a part of your personal legend. If your kryptonite makes you powerless and your superpower makes you powerful, and the two are not tracking each other like two sides of a coin, then you’re subject to sudden weakness, to blaming others, to being surprised and dysregulated. And maybe, unlike Superman’s, your kryptonite isn’t some kind of enemy at all. Perhaps it is inner kryptonite. And isn’t it curious to think that it comes from a home planet on some level? We think often about our weakness coming from outside, but it comes from inside: our story, our trauma, our tendencies, our quirks. And sometimes, like Superman’s stone, it is made from the pieces of where you came from. Hmm, me being a force of nature? You bet. I don’t think anyone who knows me would deny that I am a force of nature. When a vision becomes clear, I have enormous, sometimes to me and others seemingly supernatural, capacity to bring it into form. Sometimes the things I’ve been able to create amaze even me, and those around me comment on what happens when you get into Shiloh Sophia’s orbit. I’ve created gorgeous things. I’m a big dreamer, and some of my dreams are so big they scare me. You know what I mean? What makes me a force of nature is my greatest gift. My superpower is unreasonable love. And yes, it’s my downfall, my green stone, my kryptonite. So, one of the biggest obstacles I see for people making things happen in their life is bringing ideas into form. We are certainly not lacking ideas. We are not lacking content. We’re lacking the ability to bring it into form. This is most people’s kryptonite that I work with as private clients or students. How to make the vision real. That’s my superpower. And for those new to the language of brainwaves, beta is our normal awake, alert state. And theta is linked with deep relaxation and meditation and mental imagery. And it’s where we go in Intentional Creativity. So when we’re out in the theta brainwave, we get ideas and we bring them back into the beta. I mostly design and live in a state of theta and only visit beta when I have to make something happen. But my beta is super powerful because my theta is super grounded. So here’s what happens in my orbit. What I realized today is that being a force of nature is my gift and a challenge for me and anyone I’m working with. My partners, my private clients, the students in my courses, the women in my year-long classes, and especially in my class called Legend. And of course, the experience that’s coming up for women called Powerhouse. People who work with me know what happens in my orbit. We make miracles come to life that were not visible before. Someone who’s never painted paints a painting that reveals who they actually are, and there’s no going back. People in my orbit make books for their grandchildren when they’d never planned on making a book. They bring forth a curriculum, the dream course that catalyzes all their teachings. They create a gallery show and have a one-woman show. The list goes on and on. Some people make their own mystery schools. And one of my favorites, people learn to create income for themselves after years of being in corporate. So if you tell me your dream, I’ll work with you to get there. I’ll be the midwife while you birth it into form, but you better be ready, because I’m a fierce stand for your visions. I have incredible power to make things happen and to support others in making it happen. And it’s fueled by my superpower of unreasonable love. And there are impacts. I overwhelm people, and I overwhelm people with showing them how to make a vision come into form. Hundreds of steps that I’ve outlined and documented. Sometimes people work with me for a while and they get resentful of how fast I’m moving and all that it requires. Sometimes there’s a rebellious teenager moment where they want to break away from me and everything that I’ve given them and act like I never existed at all, which is challenging for those who work with me, because their house is covered in paintings. Crucible Sometimes my continual encouragement and call to action might even be annoying. Sometimes they realize they don’t want the dream they thought they wanted because they didn’t know what it would take. I get it. It’s a lot of friggin’ steps. It really is. For me, this sacred currency, this life force that flows through me, activates the life force of others. I recently wrote about discovering what my purpose is this lifetime, and it’s to generate life force and show other people how to do it. And it does often feel supernatural, because it is the elements, earth, air, fire, water, crystal, sun, moon, and stardust bones, being activated. It’s not my power alone. Like a healer who knows that the energy of the universe is coming through them, I am a guide who allows the energy of the universe to flow through me on behalf of my work and the sacred work of others. After doing a course with me or working with me privately, people often need a time of recovery. Sometimes i… Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe
