I used to think I had to choose.
Choose a version of me.
Choose a path.
Choose an identity neat enough for the world to understand.
But intuitive living keeps showing me this was never the assignment.
Life is far more generous and far more human than a tidy label or a single direction.
I can be deeply grounded and wildly imaginative. Soft in my heart and fierce in my boundaries. Certain in my knowing and still tender in my becoming. Healing and leading. Messy and powerful. A work in progress and a work of art. None of these truths cancel each other out. They are all part of my wholeness.
Dualism is not confusion. It is the lived recognition that we are both human and divine, both limited and infinite, both becoming and already whole. Truth is not linear. It is layered and textured and often contradictory in ways that make perfect sense when you stop trying to shrink yourself to keep others comfortable.
I used to believe that feeling two things at once meant something was wrong. I thought clarity required certainty. I thought power required consistency. I thought leadership required a single direction. But real clarity is born in the space where two truths sit side by side. Real power comes from being able to hold both. Real leadership is being willing to be seen as the whole woman you are, not the simplified version you think the world wants.

Your complexity is not a contradiction. It is evidence of your aliveness.
You do not need permission. You do not need to choose one version of yourself. You do not need to collapse your humanity to appear clear. You are allowed to be all things all at once. You are allowed to live your intuitive truth even when it contains opposites. You are allowed to meet yourself with compassion in the moments where you are both certain and still finding your footing.
This is the heart of dualism. This is the art of intuitive living. This is the return to your full self.
If this conversation opened something in you, you will love what happens inside She Who Knows.
It is my eight-week journey for women who are ready to trust themselves deeply, rebuild spiritual self-esteem, and live from the quiet certainty within.
You do not need to become more intuitive.
You need to stop outsourcing what you already know.

On Wadawurrung Country, stretching from the Great Dividing Range in the north to the southern coast and from the Werribee River in the east to the Surf Coast in the west, we honour the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. We also celebrate the rich stories, culture, and traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders who live and work on this land.
