2025: A Year of Lessons, Intuition, and Unlearning Old Beliefs

The year of the snake is asking me to shed old beliefs fast and all at once.

This year has been nothing short of transformative.

As the year of the snake unfolds, it’s asking me to face the lessons I’ve long avoided—especially the ones about equating money with success and the persistent feeling of always being behind.

Embracing My Inner Artist in 2024

Looking back, 2024 was a year of playful exploration. For the first time, I allowed myself to spend money without worry, trusting my intuition completely—even when my logical mind hesitated. I stepped boldly into my role as an artist, surrendering to adventures that felt wacky yet liberating. The result? I attracted more money in one year than ever before.

But amid the excitement, a nagging voice whispered, “What are you so proud of? That success wasn’t earned through business savvy or hard work. Do you even deserve it?” This inner critic, fueled by limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, suddenly made its presence known.

The Thorn of Self-Doubt

That voice—the one echoing with doubt and harsh judgments—challenged the very essence of my newfound abundance. It questioned whether my flow state, my willingness to trust my inner compass, could really lead me to fulfill my purpose. Despite the clear signs that I was on the right path, that persistent thorn in my side reminded me that inner work was still needed.

A Glimpse Into My Past

During meditation, it became apparent that some of these self-limiting beliefs were rooted deep in my childhood. I vividly remember the early days in grade school when I was constantly pulled out of class for extra testing and to learn how to read. Being diagnosed with dyslexia and Irlen syndrome only added to the pressure, as I was repeatedly told that I’d have to work twice as hard as everyone else just to be average.

These early lessons, though well-intentioned, left me with a lingering sense of always being behind. Even as I progressed—skipping a grade and eventually entering high school and university—the belief that hard work was the sole measure of success haunted me. The burnout and subsequent years of healing from adrenal fatigue only served to reinforce these limiting beliefs.

Working Through the Beliefs

Over time, I’ve been consciously working on shifting these deep-seated perceptions. Here are a few practices I’ve been embracing on this journey:

• Exploring the Roots
  I’m actively reconnecting with my inner child—the 5-8-year-old me—and even exploring earlier memories or past lives to understand where these beliefs originated.

• Soul Retrieval
  Engaging in soul retrieval work to reclaim lost fragments of myself that have been overshadowed by limiting beliefs.

• Questioning the Benefits
  I regularly ask myself what benefits I’m getting from holding onto these beliefs. How do they serve me, and what am I protecting myself from?

• Ancestral Healing
  Diving into ancestral work to uncover and heal generational patterns that might be influencing my mindset.

• Cutting Cords
  Releasing energetic cords that no longer serve my highest good, allowing me to move forward unburdened.

Moving Forward with Intuition and Purpose

Even though the road to unlearning these patterns is challenging, I firmly believe that by trusting my intuition and being in a state of flow, I can attract abundance in all areas of life. The journey is not just about financial success but about embracing who I truly am—an artist with a unique vision and purpose.

I envision a future filled with trust, creativity, and the courage to unlearn what no longer serves us.
