Being in survival mode changes how we feel and how we function. In this episode I’m exploring the difficulty we have in living an abundant life and feeling content because many of us are just trying to survive.
Are you settling? Are you in survival mode?

This phrase has been swirling around in my head on and off for some time now. I have found myself meditating on and even whispering this, when I experience fear or discomfort specifically with my body and/or being in new environments. I distinctly remember having to convince myself that this is necessary. As a black woman in a larger body, I have at time been made to feel like I’m too much. In order to rewrite the narrative, I’ve had to commit to comfortably taking up space.
I realize it contradicts the inner most parts that are tightly woven to fear, rejection, and worthlessness. Taking up space is an act of rebellion for some. A commitment to being present and committed to ones purpose in life. To take up space is to unapologetically be about our fathers business.
As we move into this week and this new month lets consider taking an active role in walking in our God given purpose and occupying the very spaces he has given us dominion over.
I encourage you to take out your journals and allow yourself to explore this topic. What comes up for you? How can you take up space?
