Hi loves,

I want to share with you an inspiring story of transformation that has deeply touched my heart. It’s about Shelby, one of my incredible students, who has shown me the true meaning of stepping into your power.

Shelby’s journey began three years ago, when she stood on the sidewalk, shaking with nerves, check in hand, ready to commit to a huge leap—her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. She was terrified. She didn’t know how she would pay for it, but there was something deep inside of her that knew she had to take this step. So she took out a personal loan to make it happen. Despite the fear and uncertainty, Shelby showed up. She committed. She learned.

At first, she was shy and nervous, barely able to speak in front of the group. But as time went on, Shelby transformed into one of the most accomplished and confident yoga teachers to graduate from The Embodied Warrior School of Yoga.

But the transformation didn’t stop there.

The following summer, Shelby returned to another 200hr YTT, not as a student, but as a mentee—assisting throughout the training, guiding new students, and applying her knowledge immediately in her own classes. She was already stepping into her teaching power, but it didn’t come without doubt and fear.

Fast forward to our HYBRID 200hr YTT in Costa Rica, where Shelby joined as an assistant teacher. She led every asana lab with total confidence. She was a beacon of knowledge, compassion, and inspiration. But still, she struggled with the feeling that she didn’t fully measure up.

Then came the game-changer.

During the 50hr Sound Practitioner Training, Shelby led her first sound healing session. That moment marked a true shift. I could feel it in the room. I could see it in her presence. Shelby stepped into her power.

When I mentioned how beautifully she had led her sound healing demo, Shelby responded, “I LOVED IT! IT FELT SO EASY. It’s not like yoga, no one is staring at me. I’m not worried about forgetting the sequence or messing up what I’m saying. It just felt effortless. I loved it!”

That’s when I realized—sound healing is the thing that unlocked Shelby’s belief in herself.

What sound healing does is create the space for you to show up as you are—without needing to be perfect, without needing to prove anything, and without needing to hide behind doubt or fear. It is in that space that we discover our true selves, our power, our unique presence in this world.

So, how can you step into your own power and discover the same confidence Shelby found through sound?

Here are a few action steps to help you step into your own personal power—starting right now:

1. Surrender to the Process

Just like Shelby, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have to have everything figured out. But the truth is, the path to stepping into your power often involves letting go of the “plan” and surrendering to the unknown. Trust that the path unfolding in front of you is exactly what you need. When you let go of the pressure to control everything, you create the space to discover your true potential.

2. Find What Feels Effortless

Shelby found her power in sound healing because it felt effortless. What are the things in your life that feel effortless? What lights you up, makes you feel at home in yourself, and connects you with your heart? Identify what feels natural and authentic to you—and then give yourself permission to embrace it fully.

3. Own Your Uniqueness

One of the biggest breakthroughs Shelby had was realizing that she didn’t need to compare herself to others. She doesn’t need to be like every other teacher or healer—she just needed to be herself. Step into your uniqueness. Your voice, your presence, your energy is unlike anyone else’s—and that is your power. Don’t try to mold yourself into someone else’s idea of success. Own your individuality and allow it to guide you.

4. Trust Your Intuition

Sound healing is powerful because it invites us to listen. Not just with our ears, but with our hearts. It teaches us to reconnect with the wisdom inside us that we often overlook. Trust your gut. Listen to what feels true for you. Your intuition is one of the greatest gifts you have. Follow it, and you’ll find yourself stepping into a life that aligns with your deepest desires.

5. Take Action

While sound and surrender are powerful, nothing changes if we don’t take action. Shelby didn’t sit around waiting for the perfect moment. She took steps, even when it was uncomfortable or scary. She made the decision to show up, and that made all the difference. What small step can you take today to move closer to your authentic self? Take it.

I have had the honor of watching Shelby step into her full power and confidence, and I know you can do the same. If you’re ready to find the same effortless confidence and authenticity that sound healing brings, I invite you to join me for the upcoming 50hr Sound Practitioner Training + Retreat in Costa Rica, happening June 22-29. This transformative experience is your chance to step into your true power, just like Shelby did.

It’s time to stop playing small. It’s time to listen, surrender, and step fully into your purpose.

With all my love,
Megan
