    Personal Sovereignty & The 02:30 AM Pivot | Goddess of Growth

    Charting a journey of personal sovereignty through ancestral healing, Otis Redding, and the ritual of self-care.

    I’ve just spent a day reflecting on my ancestry. My task was to clean and declutter six months of build-up—items I had been ignoring whilst building my business seven days a week, all whilst working a day job to keep the wolves from the door.

    I woke to clear the clutter and found CDs left by my dad. He passed away many years ago now; my aunt had given me this box of CDs and a few videos before I attended his funeral, along with a profile photo as my keepsake. A man who didn’t have much to do with me as I was raised by my mother—who mostly raised me on her own—he left more to me in death than in life, beyond the ethereal. Among them was a box set of CDs by Otis Redding. I asked myself whether to keep it, as it wasn’t something I would have personally chosen, and given the “sour” mood I was in, I was in full clutter-clearing mode. Yet something told me to clean it off and put it back in its place.

    As I cleaned, Christmas Day approached by the hour. I have spent many Christmases on my own over the years, but this one felt slightly different. Due to events earlier in the year, I wasn’t even going to pretend to do anything “Christmas-like.” In fact, this one felt a little sour.

    In 2020, I hosted my mother for Christmas Day—the height of the pandemic—when we had to choose who to spend time with. I invited her; she had helped me move into my new home, and I was excited. I created a great spread and reflected that it was the very first time she had spent so much time with me at such an important event. In 2025, in exchange for getting a loan from her, I opened the door for her to tell me exactly what she thought of me. It was not complimentary at all and included a comment that she would never return to my home. I podcasted about it at the time and, in truth, didn’t think much of it after I let it out. But something about it being a few hours before Christmas Day had me reflecting on all the other narratives of my life that I used to waste decades on. Decades gone, based on the opinions of others, half-truths and lies.

    Late, not long before midnight, I showered and did my hair. Tears finally flowed about my interaction with my mother. Months ago, I had sent her a letter via WhatsApp—a brave move following having to humble myself to her previously for a much-needed loan to keep a roof over my head. It was my 50th-year (now 51) reminder to build my life up so I am never in that position again. Writing the letter back then was freeing, though I reflected on Christmas Eve that I had perhaps created a “Ross and Rachel” moment—getting what I had to say off my chest, but with no acknowledgement or any form of understanding from her.

    I checked my phone before my shower to find an earlier email from Amazon Music letting me know I now had free access. I chose a Mary J. Blige playlist and, just as I got into the shower with a treatment on my hair, the first track to play was Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding. It was as if the day was meant to reflect on my parents and the narrative I was carrying—my dad was talking to me through music. He was a singer and live performer in his time on earth. I thought it a fluke until tears flowed much harder a good twenty minutes later; my hair had gone through its treatment and I was braiding it, only to hear the same track by Otis Redding on replay. Mary J. Blige played in between, singing Beautiful.

    I have not listened to music for a while; over the years I went from listening every day to days and months without, as it just evoked too many memories of hurt and trauma. Yet here I was being soothed—hot shower, hair self-groomed, and music to take me through my cleanse and what was to be my pampering.

    In the early hours, I looked at my face, tears gone, and noticed fine lines for the first time. I remembered a face mask I was to try ages ago but never put aside the time for. It came with a jar I received as a sample for the brand whilst I was a creator aiming to be a micro-influencer on TikTok. Whilst I promoted items for brands selling on TikTok Shop, that particular account I closed in August 2025. I had put the mask in my vanity case, thinking perhaps of a birthday or New Year. My birthday passed, and here I was, hours from Christmas Day.

    I opened the package; it reminded me of cold jelly coconut. I put it on my face and lay on my bed at 02:30 AM listening to music whilst it set. I took a photo to mark the occasion; even my phone couldn’t recognise me when I attempted Face ID.

    Early on Christmas morning, around 09:00, I finally took a look. It was translucent, and when I removed it, my face felt plump and hydrated. The lines looked less pronounced, but maybe that was my imagination. However, it is now Boxing Day and I woke feeling smooth skin. I am now prompted to look online to see how I can make this face mask part of my regular routine, finances permitting.

    It has been a long year working to set up my business and create a life that reflects the sovereign within. Even as I say it has been a year—that doesn’t feel right. It is a journey I have worked on since 2009 with many twists and turns, right up until August of this year, 2025, when I finally started to focus on doing business not just for myself, but in a way where I am not losing my autonomy and self. I have built more of a foundation in months than I have actively done in years. It has been an interesting journey; one that has culminated at the end of 2025 commanding self-respect and self-care.

    I have created thispost on my hub to talk about that side of my journey more.

  • My Eczemas Real Cure Was Reducing Dairy: How London Nootropics Helped Me Do It

    My Eczemas Real Cure Was Reducing Dairy: How London Nootropics Helped Me Do It

    My Eczemas Real Cure Was reducing Dairy: How London Nootropics Helped Me Do It

    My boxed swollen jaw after drinking too much milk.

    My lifelong eczema was triggered by a dairy allergy I never knew I had. This is my story of how finding a coffee I love to drink without milk or sugar finally helped me break the cycle and the difficult cost of wellness in the UK.

    Health Costs I Can’t Afford: My Honest London Nootropics & Dairy Allergy Story

    Let me be clear from the start: London Nootropics coffee did not cure my eczema. The real solution was simple, yet elusive: completely removing dairy from my diet.

    The challenge was never knowing what to do; it was finding a way to stick to it. For years, my habit of milky, sugary coffee was the biggest barrier. London Nootropics became the tool that finally helped me clear that hurdle.

    My favourite blend is definitely Zen however I get all three to keep my tastebuds interested.

    My Dairy Wake-Up Call: The Painful Truth

    Today, my jaw is swollen and “boxy.” I’m sharing this not for sympathy, but for raw honesty. After weeks of reintroducing milk, my body is in full rebellion. It started gradually—a splash in tea, a dash in instant coffee with sugar—but the inflammation has spoken, loudly and painfully.

    This isn’t new. In 2019, my mother gave me my childhood medical records. There, from the 1970s, was a note: I had eczema as a baby, with a list of foods to avoid.

    My entire childhood was filled with milk. I always had mucus but assumed it was normal. As a teenager, a fine rash appeared on my cheeks. In my mid-thirties, a doctor asked if I’d ever had eczema. I said no. I simply didn’t know any different. Creams and antihistamines were my companions, but the root cause—dairy—was never addressed.

    Finding My Bridge: A Coffee That Didn’t Need Milk

    The turning point came when I decided to get proactive. I missed that satisfying, milky hot drink. The child in me still craved that comfort.

    Then, an advert for London Nootropics crossed my feed. The price per sachet was less than a daily takeout coffee, so I decided to try it. When the package arrived, I realised it was an adaptogenic coffee blended with nootropics.

    I treated myself to my very own mix box and I will use it sparingly.

    I followed the instructions and tasted it black. My first impression? Incredibly smooth. ‘Zen’ remains my favourite. I tried it with milk and found I didn’t enjoy it as much. In that moment, I’d found the answer: a delicious, smooth-tasting coffee that didn’t need milk or sugar.

    The Proof Was in the (Dairy-Free) Ritual

    As I drank it regularly, my skin improved, and my inflammation reduced. I was happily down to one or two satisfying cups a day, drunk without milk or sugar. It was a revelation. I had finally found a dairy-free coffee routine I could stick to.

    However, when my finances shifted, I went back to my old coffee with milk. The result? The return of the rash and this painfully swollen jaw. My body’s final warning. Going back was a shock—the old coffee tasted harsh and sour compared to the smooth, rich flavour I’d come to enjoy.

    My Honest Review & The Wellness Cost Barrier

    So, here is my honest conclusion: London Nootropics provided a product so superior in taste and experience that it made my necessary dairy-free transition not just easy, but enjoyable. It transformed my habit from a source of inflammation into a ritual of wellness.

    But I am not making a medical claim. Drinking only water would have achieved the same physical result by also removing dairy. The coffee’s role was behavioural—it gave me a pleasurable alternative that made sustained change possible.

    The difficult truth is the cost. For many in the UK, including myself at times, this specific tool is a price that’s high compared to my usual instant coffee. My swollen jaw is a testament to the difficult choices we face. We have to be earning enough to invest in the tools that facilitate our health.

    Knowing what I know now, my path is clear. The goal is permanent dairy avoidance. If I can’t afford this specific tool, I must find another way, perhaps learning to love water (I’m not a fan of sour tasting herbal teas).

    Disclaimer: This is my personal experience. I am not a medical professional. London Nootropics coffee is a food product, not a medicine. It did not cure my eczema; eliminating dairy prevented inflammation. I still have eczema. The coffee was a successful behavioural tool that helped me maintain the reduced inflammation. Please consult a healthcare provider for medical advice.

  • Sovereign Inversion - Reclaiming digital authority from algorithms - House of Sovren™

    Sovereign Inversion

    Sovereign Inversion

    Sovereign Creator Infrastructure

    They say repeating the same actions while expecting a different outcome is a sign of madness—or so I recall the saying goes. Today, I am bringing my website and business build to a stage of foundational completion. This marks a point where my enterprise is not yet operational but stands ready to welcome its first connections, collaborators, partners, and, most importantly, founding members of Sovren Collective™.

    This shift represents a Sovereign Inversion of the typical creator model.

    Touch in with Sovren Creator Network Guild

    I have created several initiatives, including my very own Ambassador and Value Back programmes, each designed to foster a curated community focused on key growth goals. This shift represents a Sovereign Inversion of the typical creator model. How this functions has been explained in other articles:

    Sovereign Alliance: Our Strategic Partnership Framework

    From 2022 until 2025, I worked on social media daily, investing vast amounts of my own time. With a vision of building my hypnotherapy and alternative therapy practice, I found myself live-streaming, hosting meditation sessions, offering coaching, and even—briefly—conducting tarot readings by popular request, despite having set that practice aside decades earlier.

    Algorithm Trap

    I had no idea how the algorithm functioned. Following prevailing advice, I went online daily, tried never to miss two days consecutively, and spent as many hours as possible on platforms. Those hosting ‘grow rooms’ often started with this guidance; within days, the algorithm would send hundreds of people to their space.

    When I first joined, live-streaming was unfamiliar to me. When I heard about it, my mind went back to my old university days presenting on stage to a theatre of students; apparently, that is what my business degree was gearing me towards—speaking and presenting in public—something my career in real-time never truly required until now.

    I truly believed that with its billions of users, social media was inevitably the place to find my tribe.

    It was Black American connections across my page who spoke of it frequently and guided me to reach 1,000 followers to begin. I had access before the magic 1K number, gained first through personal advertising spend. “Follow trains” were commonplace—we connected mutually to build our accounts toward that magic number. However, with a business account, I could not access perks available to Creators. Furthermore, for my business—the original reason I joined—I had already spent money on platform promotions, gaining followers who were often outside the UK and decidedly not my customer base.

    Follow trains” were commonplace—we connected mutually to build our accounts toward that magic number.

    I honestly did not have a clue. Until 2025, I truly believed that with its billions of users, social media was inevitably the place to find my tribe. I now understand that, with the assistance of algorithms, these platforms have a primary goal of income generation. This only consistently benefits users or creators whose goals align intrinsically with those of the platform itself.

    Illusion of “Growth”

    Grow rooms, though often ‘restricted’ or ‘banned’, persist because they generate revenue—for both platforms and hosts. Participants spend days in these rooms, sending gifts to be seen, hoping others will follow and, most importantly, engage with their accounts. An underlying belief was that sufficient spending and visibility would lead to greater engagement later.

    For many, a grow room seemed the best route not only to unlock live-streaming but also to reach thresholds for brand opportunities and monetisation.

    Our follower counts swelled into hundreds and thousands. Observing others amass 10,000-plus followers, one could easily believe this was an optimal path to building an account—especially after experiencing suppressed posts or landing in the dreaded and almost inevitable ‘200-view jail’, where new followers simply did not engage. For many, a grow room seemed the best route not only to unlock live-streaming but also to reach thresholds for brand opportunities and monetisation. On the surface, it appeared a logical gamble.

    Life is a gamble, as is business. Since August 2025, I have spent most days working an office job to keep the wolves from my door, and then working often until 01:00 or beyond on my website, striving to present a Sovereign Inversion as an alternative to my own work-life balance.

    In my role as Creator Network Manager and Director of Sovren, I finally saw there was no magician behind the curtain. The algorithm simply performs its function. Platforms exist to monetise.

    Industry Evidence: Industry data from Influencer Marketing Hub shows that while the global creator economy is worth billions, a staggering 33% of creators earn $0, and a tiny fraction of UK creators earn above a basic living wage from platform-direct income.

    We cannot blame platforms that frequently warn against using grow rooms, noting they can harm accounts indefinitely. In a cost-of-living crisis, many creators will see it as a risk worth taking. Behind the scenes, evidence confirms: smaller, connected accounts often enjoy higher live-stream engagement, while accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers may see very little.

    Follow trains were commonplace—we connected mutually to build our accounts toward that magic number.

    Community Data: Research by Social Insider reveals that “Micro-influencers” (those with smaller, connected communities) consistently see higher engagement rates—often up to 5%—compared to massive accounts that frequently drop below 1%.

    Reclaiming Authority

    My message to anyone wanting to grow their business and personal brand is to treat social media and AI as tools. Work with them as partners and collaborators. Otherwise, we all risk working for them for free—something we would never accept in our tangible world. This shift in perspective is the heart of Sovereign Inversion.

    Previously, we relied on a select few entities for job creation; they set the rules for our pay, our labour, and by extension—through benefits like pensions and sick pay—our lifestyle.

    Recently, I saw a television advertisement encouraging people to visit social media for recipe inspiration. There is even talk that more individuals now get world news directly from within these platforms. I contend this is not so different from before. Previously, we relied on a select few entities for job creation; they set the rules for our pay, our labour, and by extension—through benefits like pensions and sick pay—our lifestyle.

    Today, we sit on social media without pay, hoping for the next brand deal, viral post (or free advertising for business accounts), receiving no direct compensation for our time. In the meantime, as the house always wins, platforms benefit from our presence, engagement and, believe it or not, given many of us go on to make money, our payments.

    Today, we sit on social media without pay, hoping for the next brand deal, viral post (or free advertising for business accounts), receiving no direct compensation for our time.

    I was fortunate during my time on these platforms. Unknowingly, I was conducting market research. Starting with a business account, I found many wanted coaching and community chats for free or for rates far below my standard fees. This was an era when many creators gained engagement through sharing tears and harrowing personal stories. Attendees at my live-streams sometimes expected the same from me, seeming slightly confused by a Black woman hosting meditation and transformation sessions. I enjoyed live-streaming, and when I stopped, people who never formally attended told me they missed those sessions. I had to stop—it was not paying.

    Affiliate marketing changed things, prompting me to open a Creator account as a personal brand. My account received a multi-account flag (a detail I learned later), but that did not prevent me from gaining invaluable experience working with brands—which had begun on my business account, albeit with suppressed posts. On my personal account, I had followers but regularly liaised with no more than ten people monthly. When I closed that account, I retained a residual sales connection and an ambassadorship.

    This period of reflection has taught me a core truth: without genuine community, there is no sustainable growth on or off social media. In fact, close a social media account and one sees just how fleeting connections focused on going viral and speedy growth really are. Separated, we will continue to labour, having masters. Connected, we can build to become masters of our own time and presence through the Sovereign Inversion.

    …without genuine community, there is no sustainable growth on or off social media.

    Recently, brands and businesses have begun to acknowledge that for products to achieve true reach, they must invest time in building community. Many have established spaces, both on and off social media, designed to encourage creators to support one another in the pursuit of ‘going viral.’ To me, this represents a short-term focus—necessary, perhaps, but ultimately fleeting.

    My grandmother often said, ‘birds of a feather flock together,’ and with the rise of remote and nomadic working, a like-minded network is no longer a luxury—it is a vital asset.

    Sovren Collective™ is dedicated to legacy brand building, ensuring a single sale evolves into a recurring relationship. A true growth community remains constant; even when a specific product or service falls out of fashion or ceases to trend, the network is there to support the next evolution.

    Not everyone within a network seeks to build a personal brand or a business; many join for the intrinsic value of being where growth happens. My grandmother often said, ‘birds of a feather flock together,’ and with the rise of remote and nomadic working, a like-minded network is no longer a luxury—it is a vital asset. It is a form of social capital that the world’s most successful individuals have relied upon for generations, and it is now being made accessible through our architectural foundation.

    I come from a culture where, when invited to a party, people often arrive after it is in full swing. Not many want to attend whilst it is quiet or whilst the momentum and great vibe is being built.

    Creators often imagine connected live-streams where people gather for a common cause and support one another. Platform training even advises having friends join our streams early, as that is what the algorithm detects; laughter, communication – human activity that others may well be interested in joining. I come from a culture where, when invited to a party, people often arrive after it is in full swing. Not many want to attend whilst it is quiet or whilst the momentum and great vibe is being built. Observing many live-streams, this is precisely how they function—except for grow rooms, where the supposed benefit is mutual. Of course, a grow room that fails to attract people will not grow any account, including its host’s.

    Add to this that the algorithm tends to direct viewers based on appearance, perceived interests, and engagement patterns. Your original goal of growing a network and business can easily become stunted—unless you intend to surrender personal dreams to work primarily as a creator for a platform. Even then, community remains critical, as engagement is a primary factor for success, alongside revenue.

    The Remedy: Sovereign Infrastructure

    It is with all this experience that Sovren Collective™ has been built—not as an imitation, but as the practical remedy born from this analysis. This is a curated, members-only space designed explicitly to facilitate the Sovereign Inversion. It shifts the focus from creators working for a platform’s gain to a community leveraging shared infrastructure for its own sovereign growth, on its own terms.

    This isn’t about chasing an algorithm’s favour; it’s about building your own discoverable foundation.

    This isn’t about chasing an algorithm’s favour; it’s about building your own discoverable foundation. Upon joining, you won’t just enter a directory; you will gain a ready-made, SEO-optimised online footprint. This is the inversion: a practical tool designed not to feed an algorithm, but to boost your own visibility and authority directly. It replaces extraction with infrastructure, turning our collective space into a launchpad for your individual growth. It’s about reclaiming the means of visibility.

  • Systemic Neglect - Lita Goddess of Growth - Empowerment Diaries®

    Invisible Bars: When “Serving Time” Becomes Systemic Neglect

    Invisible Bars: When “Serving Time” Becomes Systemic Neglect

    I often reflect on the fact that for many, life can feel like a prison even without stone walls. However, recent insights into the reality of elderly prisoners in the UK bring a chilling literalism to this thought. We are witnessing a quiet crisis: prisons are being forced to act as care homes, yet they are fundamentally devoid of the will or resources to provide actual care.

    The aging population in UK prisons is a rapidly growing crisis, with 
    17% of the prison population in England and Wales now aged 50 or over. Despite this, prisons are primarily designed for young, able-bodied inmates, leading to a severe, “disgraceful” lack of suitable elderly care and infrastructure. This has forced prison officers to act as carers for frail inmates, with 93% of surveyed staff reporting no involvement from external social services in their establishments. 

    The Illusion of Care

    Statistics show an ageing inmate population, yet behind those numbers lies a breakdown of the social contract. When a person is sentenced to “life,” the punishment is intended to be a deprivation of liberty—not a deprivation of basic healthcare. Reports of delays in diagnosis and lack of access to essential medication suggest that these men are existing in a “non-place.”

    Is it a double punishment? To be old, infirm, and incarcerated is one thing; to be denied the dignity of palliative care is another entirely. This is where “serving time” transforms into a form of state-sanctioned torture.

    The Human Condition in Confinement

    Through Empowerment Diaries®, I have always explored the internal landscape of growth. Yet, how does one cultivate a “sovereign mind” when the physical body is being neglected by an apathetic system? This is the ultimate test of the human condition.

    If you are free and poor, life feels like a prison. If you are old and incarcerated, the prison becomes a tomb before you have even passed. These “Survival Diaries” of the forgotten remind us that sovereignty is not just a lofty ideal; it is a necessity for survival in a world that often lacks the resources—or the heart—to see us as human.

    Building a Sovereign Life

    We cannot always control the systems around us, but we can control our architectural response to them. We must move away from surviving time and toward mastering our own reality.

    If you are reflecting on how best to focus on building a sovereign life and breaking free from “invisible prisons” of modern existence, consider joining our Sovren Collective™ today. Together, we build the foundations for a life of true agency.

    Focus of the Story: Building Practical Sovereignty

    Welcome to Empowerment Diaries®. I am Lita, Goddess of Growth.

    Lita, Goddess of Growth (00:00)
    Yes, so welcome back. Goddess of Growth here with you and we’re at episode 5. Are you still with me? I am really so pleased to have this space. I’ve been wanting this space for such a long time and I understand at this moment there’s a lot of talking to myself. I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve been on social media for a little while now and this episode is about setting the focus and the reason for the podcast. My

    whole goal of this space is to tap into a network and a community and where engagement is encouraged. I’d love to be able to come on here and answer questions. I am no guru. I am definitely one to learn from the questions asked. I’m here to learn. I’m here to share my knowledge. I’m here to grow.

    and I am really on connecting with people of like mind. In the meantime, my focus is very much on the story. I am really focused on my own self healing and work with others focused on their own also. Building community, encouraging engagement, answering questions. There is a space on this podcast where listeners can send me messages. I would love to have some feedback.

    on the previous episodes. I know they’re short, bear with me. I understand that the average podcast is 20 to 40 minutes apparently. I have gotten used to working on platforms like TikTok and doing very short clips. So I need to really just get into that mode of speaking as I do to myself on a daily basis. I know again it’s been a long time since the last…

    episode, longer than I wanted anyway. I have been doing podcasts in my mind. There has been so many topics that have come up. Life is happening always, isn’t it? I am 50 years old, so it is to be expected that around me there are people that’s transitioning from this world. Dementia, Alzheimer’s has been a feature, even with work, family. It really has brought it home to how we

    or even I say plan life. I am in a space of tapping into today. There’s no real future plan. I’m doing the best that I can to do the best that I can in this moment so that I can enjoy life as much as possible. It has been quite tiresome and a lot of the weariness has come from trying to go against the grain. I do read astrology, which helps me greatly.

    allows me to tap into the time and the season. But I’m human. I often try to go against what I’ve read, beat the system so to speak. But I’m learning quickly that actually you can have all things going on at the same time, good things, bad things, it’s all relative. Being able to take a breather, sit down and go into ourselves regardless of what is going on around us becomes

    priority. It’s the prime focus for us to have creative ideas on how to move forward positively and also to exercise self-care. Mindfulness is the focus. So as you know, I am a hypnotherapist as well, qualified hypnotherapist since 2009. I love and enjoy doing therapy sessions. I do enjoy meditation. I am about using practi-

    tools. Practical tools to tap into the story. So hypnotherapy is one modality. I really enjoy using hypnoanalysis. Hypnoanalysis is still using hypnosis to help clients relax. It’s about focusing on the story from childhood till now. There’s a process called free association that we use to help facilitate clients to

    into their story and it really doesn’t matter if what we remember, clients remember is true or not. What’s important is to tap into how we are feeling about a given subject and do our utmost to try and elevate that feeling. I’m 50 now, I seem to love it. What I do note is that a lot of stories that we tell ourselves from childhood up just aren’t true.

    A lot of the time we make decisions based on the story and those stories can affect us our whole lives. think emotional intelligence is understanding that many people, many of us will have our own take and perspective on any given scenario and we will tap into our version of truth. I don’t think that a huge percent of the population intend on lying. It’s just that

    We see things in our own way. We have systems whereby, for example, if an incident happened, more witnesses are called forward so that the police can understand and get a better idea of what happened. Because it’s all relative. It’s about our emotion at the time. When we’re balanced, we might see something in one way. If we’re upset, we’ll see it in another. And how those emotions and feelings affect all the decisions that come next.

    becomes really important. I am very much about journaling. Write your story. Years ago, one of the sessions I had with a coach, I walked in and I was asked to take a seat. Relax, candles were being burned and I was asked to write my story. Beforehand, I was asked the question as to what my favourite story was as a child. And I do remember saying, actually, I quite like Cinderella. And the coach had said, well,

    you know she was a woman of course, say of course, but she actually didn’t particularly like the fairy tales and often the fairy tales that we tend to latch on to are those that we identify with and that was a bit profound for me. I never really thought about it that way until then. I started journaling more frequently, I had started before then but this was different. Journaling not

    with the idea of sharing it with anyone, but taking some time to sit down and exercise self-care and just put all your experiences down from zero till now. Each time you do the exercise, different things will come up and put it away for a while. And then when you’ve got another opportunity, take out the journal, take out your work and really start reading through, questioning what in your story

    is true. How many of the events that you can recall that you’re still carrying with you that are actually true? For example, when people talk about finances and definitely we understand in the UK the value of a five pounds in 2025 is very different to the value of a five pound in say 1970s.

    This is the kind of understanding that we need to tap into when we’re telling our story. Because what we accept as, okay, that sounds reasonable today, may not have been reasonable years gone. I was raised in a generation where corporal punishment was the norm. In fact, I was quite fortunate. I’m a seventies baby. So by the time I got to school,

    The cane was outlawed in schools in the UK. Prior to that, my parents and their parents, they would have been caned or they had their ruler used on them to enforce discipline. Today, we have politicians talking about banning all forms of corporal punishment. So time and season, what was acceptable then is not acceptable today.

    our awareness changes. So even judging our past story and carrying that story, we need to at some point acknowledge that that story is possibly what’s blocking our progress today. And the fact of life is we attempt to live this life based on yesterday’s experience. But today is all new, even if we do not always see it. And I am known to

    go into a day and almost forget that is a new day. I do use practices now to make sure that I am as present as possible. It took me a long time to get to this point and I know I still have a long way to go. It’s the focus on being present that helps a lot of us deal with our anxiety. It’s the focus of being present

    that allows us to release all kinds of uncomfortable feelings. Jealousy, resentment, anger, stress. The feeling of being overwhelmed often comes from focusing on yesterday worrying about tomorrow. And trust me, I have had a lot of time in my life worrying. I am still working on it.

    In previous episodes I discussed my use of emotional freedom techniques and I am using emotional freedom techniques on a daily basis. My mornings start with a wake up. I love to use the whole process as I give gratitude for the day, ask for forgiveness and tap into the moment as much as possible.

    There has been sadness. One of my closest family members just recently this year found out she was not so well. My faith is such that I understand fully the time here is short and it is for us to make the most of it. So many dreams and aspirations, so many ideas as to what life would be like now. To see someone looking forward to retirement only to find that

    they will not be in great health when retirement comes. It is a reminder that the only time we have is now. I am really keen on being part of and building a positive community. One that acknowledges pain, acknowledges that there are a number of things that we need to do whilst we go through.

    birthing process. Life is not easy. I know there’s a trend of putting smiles on faces and imagining things are all okay. I think this is like a positive movement. Let’s be positive and things will be positive. And on a level, apparently science does concur. If we think and speak positively, things will be positive. You cannot force your core to think something it doesn’t think.

    And that’s where practices like emotional freedom techniques, hypnotherapy, having a positive peer group, those kinds of things come into play whilst we go through our individual and collective birthing process to encourage us to tap in, feel what we feel in this moment, check in on our beliefs, our story, really tap in and let it go. Emotional freedom techniques can help us tap in.

    immediately. It may need a few sessions and I am most comfortable in facilitating sessions either on a one-on-one and or group setting. This podcast is about connecting with others. I’d love to hear your story. I’d like to use this platform and this opportunity to talk through your story. I’ve mentioned before I like to read astrology. One of my interests is

    what they call the perfection chart. For the first time in my life, I’ve made a breakthrough in understanding how we can all be in this world, but live in totally different worlds. We really do have completely different paths, so much so it’s nonsense almost to compare ourselves with others. We’ll have one person

    that is in the stage of life, phase of life where this year and maybe the next couple of years, whole focus is about career, finances and so. Another focus may well be about home, family, the past. So we’re all channeled into our individual development areas. And somehow the universe has us connecting with each other and supporting each other and guiding each other. But never forgetting

    that our individual path is what is to have our focus. We are the centre of our hub. Having that understanding of how we fit in individually helps us connect intellectually, emotionally, spiritually to anyone that comes through. I am now seeing this life as a picture resonant of what’s in my mind, in my soul. I fully understand that whatever comes

    to me is a direct resonance of what’s within me. So the souls I’m hoping to attract will mirror the development and the steps that I am going through now and join the conversation. It’s my understanding for podcasts to be successful. One needs to have guests on to interview and have a discussion. I need to meditate on that. And I would like to get more into the flow of

    sharing some of those thoughts I have where I seem to have a podcast all in my mind I just don’t take the mic out to speak about it. So this is episode five and again this is just five snippets, five episodes just to set the context as to what my guests, my listeners can expect. I would really love your feedback let me know what it is that

    You’ve liked about the podcast, what you haven’t liked about the podcast. Let me know what you anticipate you will hear next. I have been working up in my mind a idea of having a retreat from my home. This is almost two years now in the running and I’ve changed focus again. I would really like to do retreats, but I.

    think not in my home. I have made the decision that I would like to start it by doing online retreats. A friend of mine I met on TikTok a good couple of years now told me that she did online retreats and we’d spoken about it just briefly. I didn’t listen too well because I was so focused on doing something from my home, but I’ve come full circle. So I will be looking at…

    how I can go about doing online retreats. My activities I will be updating on my website. We’ve got the Bus Sprout link where the podcasts are hosted and I do have a website that I’m working on because there’ll be other links and opportunities in there to focus on coaching, self-development, wellness and hopefully the retreat. Hypnoanalysis is one of my

    beautiful therapeutic tools, I really enjoy it. That takes some commitment for anyone that wants to tap into their story in a one-to-one setting that can’t be done in a group. It’s a very personal service and it does allow us to see our cycles, life cycles. We get to an age where we understand the things that might annoy us in others often are

    something in ourselves. You know, the daughter that ends up doing things like the mother, the sibling that notices the father’s behaviour and you know, that kind of thing. And it is then important as we age to learn to start to embrace it all. Good, bad and indifferent. It’s not easy, I know. We aren’t saints, we’re human.

    but to understand that everything that is going on is part of us, otherwise it just wouldn’t be in our periphery. As we rise up and we support each other to be the best that we can be, our life changes. The housing, what we eat, our connections, the type of conversation. When you’re journaling, look back at your life. I know as we age, there’s the conversation as to if you’re still in contact with

    Whoever you were in contact with in childhood or at a decade at a life change. Some people they have the same friends for life and that’s their path. I have now understood that when we’re changing is expected that significant people will change because you’ve elevated your mind, you’ve elevated your life. If people have not moved with you, they won’t be with you when you’ve moved forward.

    We experience many little deaths throughout life and often we’re very encouraging of others to go towards their goals, move forward. Now is the time to embrace those little deaths, not fear them because ultimately those little deaths are encouraging us to be the best versions of ourselves, letting go of all the unnecessary baggage. So thank you for being here.

    I am going to leave you now and look out for me. I do hope I will find some kind of communication towards the end of this podcast. I would look forward to you joining me as a member of the community. And if you have any questions or suggestions, I’m open to it. I’m focusing on tapping into the divine feminine within. I’m here to offer life coaching.

    hints and tips for personal growth is all about empowerment. I’m open to listening and I would definitely love some interaction in the future. Thank you for being here.

    In this reflection from early 2025, I was setting the focus for this space. I am no guru; I am a practitioner of life, here to learn from the questions asked and to share the knowledge I have gathered through my own healing and transformation.

    Story as a Modality

    As a qualified hypnotherapist since 2009, I have always been fascinated by the stories we tell ourselves. Through Hypnoanalysis, I help clients relax and use free association to tap into their history.

    • The Subjective Truth: It doesn’t matter if what we remember is “true” in a court of law. What matters is how we feel about it today.
    • Decisions of the Past: Many of us are living 2026 lives based on decisions made by a hurt child in the 1970s or 80s.

    To achieve Practical Sovereignty, we must examine these stories. Journaling is a key tool here—not for an audience, but for yourself. Ask yourself: How much of the baggage I am carrying is actually true today? The value of five pounds in 1970 is not the value of five pounds in 2025 or 2026. Our awareness must evolve with the currency of time.

    The Power of Presence and “Little Deaths”

    I read astrology to understand the season, but I am human; I often try to “beat the system.” However, I am learning that the most potent form of Practical Sovereignty is being present.

    “The feeling of being overwhelmed often comes from focusing on yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. In this moment, those worries do not exist.” — Lita, Goddess of Growth

    We experience “little deaths” throughout life—the loss of a job, the end of a friendship, or a shift in health. When we elevate our minds, it is natural for people and environments to fall away. These are not failures; they are the clearing of unnecessary baggage so that the best version of ourselves can emerge.

    Tools for the Birthing Process

    Life is not a constant stream of “positive vibes.” It is a birthing process—often messy and painful. I use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) daily to navigate this.

    • Gratitude and Forgiveness: My mornings start with a “wake up” to the now.
    • Positive Peer Groups: Surrounding yourself with those who acknowledge the pain but focus on the growth.
    • Retreat into Sovereignty: While I once dreamed of physical retreats in my home, I have pivoted to Online Retreats and coaching, making transformation accessible to the Sovren Collective™ wherever they are.

    Your Individual Path

    Through my study of the Perfection Chart, I’ve realised that while we all live in the same world, we inhabit different “channels.” One person is in a career cycle; another is in a family cycle. Understanding your own cycle prevents the poison of comparison.

    I invite you to join the conversation. Whether through a one-on-one Hypnoanalysis session or by engaging with the Sovren Creator Network Guild™, your story is the foundation of your future.

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:01)
    Hi there, welcome back to the Empowerment Diaries, Lita goddess of growth here and I’ve been having a bit of brain freeze, it’s amazing how many times I do a podcast in my mind and I think yep this is what I’m going to talk about and it’s really flowing and I decide this is how it’s going to work, although when I sit in front of the camera as much as I will have my prompts to the side I do seem to lose the thread at times, but I’m back.

    and I’m reflecting in this little podcast about the power of pause because life forces us at times does it not to stop and it’s in that stopping that we do our healing our transformation and we grow.

    and this is not about what others can see and often we cannot even see it all we feel at times is the stagnation sometimes the block trepidation anger angst frustration ⁓

    after we look at it and we realize what was going on sometimes many many moons later.

    but there is a power in pause, is there not? Whether we choose to do so or whether the universe settles us down. Some of us don’t listen to the signs of pause, so we end up causing some kind of health issue, financial issue, something that prevents us from moving forward.

    But I suppose the greatest pause or the easiest one is one where we’re prompted to pause and we take our hands off the brakes. Yeah, allow that pause to happen for life to naturally slow down, take our breaks, even acknowledge the setbacks as maybe blessings more so than denial.

    because those are the very thing that can push us much further than all the actions that we’re doing to progress in life. It’s hard, especially when we want change to happen yesterday. We’ve been on a journey of struggle and survival. Is it not my time today? When the universe says not yet.

    and all you want is now. Am I forgotten? Is it ever going to happen?

    and then it’s almost like the pot starts boiling the slightest thing irritates as progress is not happening as fast as we need it to it’s not yet this is not the time as we get closer we still understand this is not the time it can be difficult at this critical time to trust the process it’s easy to say trust the process

    even when we don’t know exactly what the process is or where it will lead us. Trust the process. Trust the process. Have patience. And whilst we’re doing it, to be aware that we’re here to be our best champion, our support and to support others also.

    but to support others without taking on their angst and their burdens. Being in a position to respect ourselves and make sure that we have boundaries. Boundaries for ourselves and for others, making sure that we’re all doing the work to grow, to support ourselves.

    to support each other, making sure that we’re elevating, we’re not encouraging people down, we’re helping others as we are rising up ourselves. Emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, energy, tapping into energy and being fluid with it, even in the midst of uncertainty. Making sure

    not only that we have boundaries but that we only share with those that are in the best position to be there for us. Often we share with others that have little intention of raising our spirits and you know the difference there are some that will be with you just for communication.

    It’s now the time to connect with others on a journey, acknowledge they’re on a journey. Some might call it a spiritual journey. Not everyone has the ability to have a conversation with us that focuses on elevation, even in the down times.

    We need to make sure that to ourselves we speak life and to each other we speak life in good and bad times. At the same time we do need to be in environments that allow us to feel what we feel. Environments where we can talk openly, feel.

    and share how we feel openly without others taking offense or seeing it as a personal attack. Others that have true faith.

    and for me true faith is understanding up and down times is all part of the equation it’s not either or it’s not a case of if you have faith everything will be perfect and great no but faith in the grand design that in this life we’re going to have up times we’re going to have down times and there are some people on the surface that will never have really great times or really bad times

    We don’t know what the inner journey is, do we?

    So this is just a short reminder that

    is okay as frustrating as it can be at times especially when you’ve got bills to pay especially when you want to get a relationship matter resolved whether it be something from the past or in the present especially when you are focused on work when you want to be focused on whatever it is whilst you’re building business you’re making money in other ways and you have to split your time there’s many a day I wake up

    and all I want to do is my business but I need to make money that I’m sure is coming in so I have to focus on that first before I can spend time building my business and I do find it really frustrating. I’d love to have a day when I can just wake up and just do my business. However the pause is the refining what the business is.

    tapping into why you’re doing something. Is it for joy? What is it for? What’s going to keep you going? What’s motivating you?

    So thank you so much for listening to this mini podcast. This is about pause, embracing the pause. The power of pause is all about tapping within. And I wish I knew what pause meant.

    The many times I’ve been on my own for many a year actually that’s been my life experience, my own life experience has been one of many cycles falling, getting up, falling, getting up. That’s my life in the UK.

    Time and season is about where we live you know, but there’s no running away from your time and season when it’s time for you to relocate if it’s your time to relocate you will right when it’s your season to do so. Reflect on your pause even if you don’t know why you are pausing right now.

    and I’m hoping I too will get to a position where a pause is something that I sit and cherish and celebrate. This last pause, my Pluto square Pluto has not been an easy pause at all. In fact I’ve worked more hours than I’ve worked in my life before for next to nothing actually.

    and the universe is saying it’s not about hours and time it’s about quality not quantity we’re narrowing down there’s no get-rich-quick schemes there’s no fast routes to visibility building a network like everything that one needs to do we will do thoughtfully intentionally with heart soul

    So I am here, power of pause, do tap in. What does pause mean to you? I’d love to have your comments, do comment on the podcast. I’d love to see some community comments. And if you have a story that you would like to share, tap in also. Thanks for being here. You’ve been listening to Lita Goddess of Growth today. Have a good one.

    Empowerment Diaries®: Power of Pause and Internal Refinement

    I am back after a month of reflection, navigating what I call “brain freeze”—that moment when thoughts flow in mind but thread feels lost once camera starts rolling. I am leaning into power of pause. Life often forces us to stop, and it is within these periods of stagnation or block that true healing and transformation occur.

    Whether pause is self-imposed or universe settles us down through health or financial setbacks, taking hands off brakes is essential. It is hard when we want change immediately, especially after a journey of struggle and survival, but I am learning to trust process of refinement.

    Boundaries and Elevation: Key Messages & Chapters

    • [00:01] Embracing the Stop: I reflect on how pause, though frustrating, pushes us further than constant action. I am learning to view setbacks as potential blessings.
    • [08:00] Critical Trust: I address difficulty of trusting a process when destination is unclear. I am focusing on being my own best champion while supporting others.
    • [12:00] Establishing Boundaries: I discuss importance of physical and emotional boundaries. Elevation requires connecting with those who speak life into our journey, rather than those who feed angst.
    • [18:00] Split Focus and Frustration: I share reality of waking up wanting to build my business, Sovereign, but having to focus on immediate income first. Pause is where I refine why I am building.
    • [25:00] Quality Over Quantity: I acknowledge that my Uranus-Pluto disruption taught me that hours worked do not always equal progress. I am moving away from “fast routes” toward intentional, soulful building.

    My Core Truth

    “Pause is not a stop; it is a refining. I am narrowing down my focus, ensuring that everything I build for Sovereign is done thoughtfully and with heart. I am learning to cherish moments of stillness, even when bills are pressing, because that is where my core essence is restored.”

    Empowerment Diaries®: Borrowing from the Future and Sovereign Cleanup

    Borrowing from the Future and Sovereign Cleanup

    I, Lita, Goddess of Growth, reflect on leaving TikTok to build my business, Sovereign. In this Empowerment Diaries® entry, I discuss the “cleanup” after a three-year drought, the reality of midlife, and why I am shifting from survival to intentional consolidation.

    Empowerment Diaries®: Borrowing from the Future and Sovereign Cleanup

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:01)
    Lita, goddess of growth here and this is me showing up. It’s been a month I think since my last podcast and there’s so much I need to, love to catch you up on. I hope I’m having some people come forward and listen to the podcast and I would so love to have

    you if you are listening to just interact with the podcast leave me a message I upload on Buzzsprout around once a month and I will be increasing the podcasts so where am I today today September

    2025 leaving my Pluto square Pluto the midlife crisis apparently it could affect you age 30 to 60 so this is mine which should have ended end of July did I feel a shift yes has it resolved everything no

    The energies have shifted and I seem to be doing a lot of clean up. I’ve gone from a season of drought, working very hard to get things moving and not getting the visibility I needed to progress to succeed. By the end of July I could see a glimmer of hope.

    some movement finances changed a little I had to take a role to stable my income bring in some much needed cash to make sure that I was in a position to pay the bills pay my mortgage

    I reported the last time I was here that I became a creator network manager via TikTok. The invitation came via my For You page. I applied. It was about April time. I was accepted in April and I had so much hope. The opportunity held. I thought so much promise. Well,

    It wasn’t too long ago that I managed to give my notice into the platform. I continue to build my business now called Sovereign. The vision is still the same to coach creators, people running their small business.

    and providing a space where community can be built, where I am in a position to spotlight others, help them transform using their stories as a start, and also building community. Often we forget why we start things.

    I joined social media so that I could improve my visibility, increase my network, so that whilst I was working and building my coaching practice, things would be easier. But somehow along the line, I ended up on social media and very concerned about algorithms, following prompts on how many times to go online and so on and so

    Meanwhile, real life has been happening and the two came together, they came to a head.

    So my life at this time, 51 soon. My goodness, when I first started this podcast in February, I was almost just getting used to being 50. 50 was not an age that I dreaded at all. I thought my body would look much better than it does at this time, but evidently I didn’t put in the work or the effort to get it so. There’s been a bit of sadness.

    I worked my life trying to get out of poverty so that I would be in a position to welcome, actually put myself in a position to try for a child and I’ve never had the opportunity to do so and it’s likely at this stage of life I will not have the opportunity to do so. I’ve not been able to grieve about it.

    mainly because my focus has been on keeping my bills paid, keeping my mortgage paid, keeping a roof over my head.

    I mentioned in my last podcast that I spent a lot of my 22, 2022 until even up until July this year 2025, hoping and praying that whatever happens, please do not let me lose my home. Stability being key for me. I had so many moves in my youth.

    I only stabilised accommodation from the late 2000s when I purchased my first apartment. Well I’m in my little home in a little village in Somerset and I have been here. September so this will be my fifth anniversary in this property.

    I must admit after the hard work that I have been going through, stress of having income one minute then drought and always catching up catching up myself, a few weeks ago I really questioned what it was I was fighting to save but I’m here. Having something is better than having nothing I suppose.

    Today I was thinking a bit about this idea of borrowing from the future. And I must admit there’s many a thing that I delayed and put off hoping for a better tomorrow. You know, you listen to the stories, adults tell you, ⁓ it will get better.

    And one day I actually realised, and this is only very recently, that it’s not necessarily the case that things get better. They may appear so on the surface, but more so is the case of how we view the scenarios that come our way, how we internalise them.

    how we manage ourselves, our emotions and our thought process. I don’t necessarily believe things get better, but then I suppose it depends on what you mean by better.

    even to the point of questioning prayer. Because it’s dawned on me if we are living in seasons, we’re all in this world but living in different worlds, no amount of prayer is going to change the season that we are in. Proactive steps like for example

    making sure that you’re traveling to a different destination, that you’re in a different location, but the truth is the majority of us cannot outrun our season and there is something I suppose beautiful in going through the cycles of life so that we have those moments where things are fallow.

    and we’re in that position later on where things start to sprout and we’re there later to enjoy and appreciate the harvest. Many don’t get to see the harvest, many don’t get to appreciate the harvest but we’d like to think that the whole process of going on that journey is what is keeping us contained.

    helping our spirits to evolve.

    and I will say that my life has often been almost as if I read a lot of books as a child so almost as if I not only delayed womanhood but delayed life to the point where I felt I needed to just keep working

    keep focused and one day tomorrow things would look and be how I needed them to be. Well I am 51 not too long from now the year has gone really fast and I am seeing things quite a lot different so much differently to how I used to I’ve aged

    when I say I’ve aged it’s a different kind of aging it’s almost as if these last two years this just came upon me I looked on my face one day and I could actually see the age on my face. I haven’t been on TikTok for a few weeks I actually closed my accounts down I thought actually I need to step away and give it a break.

    And instead what I’ve been doing is building my business because what it showed me, the opportunity that was presented was that I really do enjoy coaching. I really do enjoy going through and working with someone on their business strategy, all of that.

    I also really need to have freedom of expression. I need to be able to build connections and not have to worry about what I say and how I say things, which I think was becoming an issue on the platform in the strangest way.

    I thank TikTok because it was due to TikTok that I decided to open this podcast. It was on my mind for a good couple of years, but then going on TikTok and…

    attempting to do posts about how I felt and what I was going through. Initially I had a business account and often I would have my post deleted and be told that the posts themselves were not suitable for the platform. It’s life.

    So actually, to be fair, even to accept the role of Creator Network Manager this year, I suppose I needed that kind of affirmation. And to be able to walk away with my head held high, that too was good.

    I was able to look behind the scenes and realise that actually whatever we’re going to build, we do need to build on our own. No one’s actually going to help us on this process.

    When we’re talking about visibility and improving ourselves, our business prospects, our brands, this is work that we do. There’s no platform that’s going to do it for us. Yes, platforms will present connections and opportunity, but it’s for us to use the space and create what it is that we’re there to create to make sure that we’re able to connect to the people that’s there.

    to receive our message or to connect with our service, our product, our brand. So moving on from social media, I’ve come to realise these transits, yes they show you what’s happening in the core and they are influences but at the end of the transit life doesn’t just go back to normal, there isn’t an immediate light.

    No, there is a clean up after. So as I was saying today, I was thinking about borrowing from the future this idea that tomorrow will be better. And in having that idea, I suppose in a way.

    It’s what some religious people tell themselves on a daily basis, you know, if I’m good now, no matter what piety I’m going through, it will be okay because I’ll be going to heaven. It’s like that. So we live our lives postponing until tomorrow and beyond with this idea that somewhere later down the line, life is going to be better than today.

    But how about using this time, even just small moments of the day, to just be in today. Be glad in today. Knowing this is all we have. This is all there is. Until the next time.

    So again when I think about the season coming to the end, the transit ending, the shifts, I’m finding I’m doing a lot that I still don’t necessarily want to do. I am also in the background working on websites and next steps and I do question at what point will I

    be in a position to fully commit to what I’d like to do and then I have to remind myself again, be in the moment, tomorrow is not promised. And then I continue to have these discussions with myself. It gets me thinking about debt, credit. You see as a child, raising a single parent home,

    There wasn’t that value that one would have about budgeting and income. I was very privileged to have a mother that was quite good at the time showing these are the bills that need to be paid, etc, etc. So I did have that awareness and often I’d be sent to put down money on this bill and that bill. Remember when the LED, I think that’s what it used to call, LED.

    office was open, you’d go and pay your electric and you’d wait until the red bill but not before something happened to make sure that you paid enough so all those kinds of things that don’t exist anymore. So yeah, had an awareness definitely before I left home at 17 and it was in my degree years that I was able to take on budgeting, strategy, I really enjoyed strategy. We used to have simulations and

    I think I was quite good at that, deciding in the software what routes to take for more profitability and things like that, then the real world kicked in.

    But thinking about debt, I understand that as a society, we often see people crash, not observing the season that they’re in. And maybe there’s a bit of light, maybe they’ve gone from unemployment to employment or had ⁓ someone join their life to increase their income, or however it’s done.

    and immediately on the outside we presume okay life is better and then before you know it we start demanding attention, resources and so forth on the basis as to what the person has now. But do we give enough time to those that have been through the drought?

    Do we give enough time to ourselves, to each other, to recover from the journey that that fellow period? Often the cycle of debt continues because we have a low point, then there’s this high point and there isn’t any time taken to consolidate.

    So this is why I do believe you hear stories about people who they increase their income but they still never have any money because they don’t consolidate with the fact that actually in the past this is what I had and I couldn’t afford xyz so I couldn’t do this. Money has increased have you increased up the buffer so that no matter what happens you’ve got something set aside to to move

    forward. It looks better on paper and it looks better on my mind but I hope you understand what I’m trying to convey. Consolidation and consolidation is not just about the finances, the material, we’re talking about the spiritual.

    to come through a couple of years questioning is your mind right? Is this really happening? What does faith mean? What does friendship mean? What does partnership mean? Question upon question and each one revealing itself in its own way. We see light, we breathe differently and we can feel a change.

    but there’s that consolidation, that moment for healing. Whether it’s going on a retreat, whether it’s setting a number of baths, lighting some candles and just being present, adding fragrance, getting a new robe. However it is that we

    acknowledge what it is that we have been through in this season that we’ve left behind us, whether it be of drought, loss, ending, whatever it is.

    Are we giving ourselves and each other the time needed to consolidate? Because as much as there may be a change now, that does not mean that the debts that were accumulated in the drought period have been paid. There needs to be some time to appreciate where we’ve come from, to appreciate where we are now.

    so that we’re in a better place and space in whatever future is to come. And we support each other in doing so best when we allow that consolidation to happen. It’s something from childhood, I think, being of a poor background, whereby as soon as I had

    was a case of let’s celebrate let’s do now because I was not able to do before.

    but never really catching up, never really having enough, always on survival level.

    Life has changed a lot. The things that were seen as valuable, the view of them has changed a lot. Relationships have changed. Each almost 51, more illnesses are around me.

    People still questioning life, what is it all about? And it doesn’t really matter the age to be fair. We all question it on a level. And as much as many of us would say we have faith and whatever it is that we say about ourselves, there’s still that question, why?

    unless we’re living our best life. I have a few plans of my own so that I can

    enjoy the moment as best as possible. I’m still working very hard just to survive and when I say survive I mean I’m still at the stage it’s now September any small change could mean that I am not in a position to pay the bills I need to pay and it’s not the nicest position to be in it could be worse.

    I spoke to my mortgage company only last week and I felt, you know, I felt to myself, you know, actually as much as I don’t like being in this position, I’m still in a very good position.

    and it gives me hope, it gives me hope for a life that can be lived. I move forward. Transits, astrology is what I will be reading. I read it for my personal knowledge and awareness. It helps me have faith in the time and the season and honestly at this time of my life I really do not know how people

    assess life without knowing the season that they’re in. I don’t believe that astrology can be used to predict our lives because we’re creating our lives all the time every single day, every moment, but I do believe there’s definitely influences guiding us along the way.

    I do believe that these last two and a bit years for myself since 2022, I do believe I was destined to have the crash that I had so that I could take a step back and really focus on what this life is that I signed up to is about. It’s not been easy. There’s been losses.

    not all of them feel like losses though and as I say to get to the end of it almost and to then be thinking my gosh actually I don’t even know if I want to stay in this house anymore definitely I know more change is to come I have no idea how the change will come about but

    My aspiration is to leave this life of survival. I’ve had it my whole life. Survival, survival, survival.

    I’ve done that. I understand that journey. Well, do tap into the empowerment diaries. There will be some more podcasts to follow. And at the end of the podcast, there’s a few companies that I list on the upload, which I would love you to tap into.

    I am showing up in September 2025, navigating the aftermath of a heavy transit that felt like a three-year midlife crisis. While the energies have shifted, I am now in a significant period of “cleanup.” I have recently given my notice to the TikTok platform as a Creator Network Manager. While I am thankful for the behind-the-scenes insight, I recognise that visibility, when rented, offers no true security.

    I am now fully focused on building my business, Sovereign. My vision remains clear: to coach creators and small business owners through transformation, using their stories as a foundation for community and legacy.

    Consolidation and Reality: Key Messages & Chapters

    • [00:01] Post-Transit Cleanup: I reflect on leaving the Uranus-Pluto disruption. Though I see glimmers of hope and shifting finances, I am still managing the stress of catching up after a season of drought.
    • [10:00] Departing TikTok: I share my decision to walk away from the Creator Network role with my head held high. I have realised that no platform will build my legacy for me; the work of visibility is mine alone to do.
    • [20:00] Grief and Stability: I address the sadness of missed opportunities for motherhood due to a lifelong focus on escaping poverty and maintaining stability. My home in Somerset is my fifth-year milestone of security.
    • [30:00] Borrowing from the Future: I question the idea that “things get better” automatically. I explore how we often postpone joy until a “better tomorrow” rather than being present in today.
    • [45:00] Spiritual and Financial Consolidation: I discuss the need to recover from the fallow period. Debt is not just financial; it is spiritual. We must allow ourselves time to heal and consolidate before rushing into the next “high” point.
    • [55:00] Leaving Survival Mode: I acknowledge my exhaustion with mere survival. I am ready for a life of quality over quantity, even as I navigate the uncertainty of what comes next.

    My Core Truth

    “Visibility is a tool, but ownership is the goal. I am moving away from the survival instinct that has governed my life since age 17. I am not just paying off financial debts; I am consolidating my spirit, learning to be glad in today, and building a business that allows for true freedom of expression.”

    Harvest in a Drought

    I, Lita, Goddess of Growth, reflect on harvesting in the drought. In this Empowerment Diaries® archive, I discuss surviving Uranus-Pluto disruption, reality of “aging” through transition, and shifting from survival to intentional planting for 2026.

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:00)
    So hello again, Lita goddess of growth here. I was actually quite excited about a week ago as I acknowledged that my self-imposed brand name, Lita, goddess of growth has been acknowledged by AI on Google. This is part of my visibility platform and process.

    And I encourage you to do the same if you’re someone that’s out there hoping to coach or promote your business, your service. We are in the age of social media, connecting with others online. How else will people get to know us? Today, we’re looking into harvesting in the drought, planting seeds for new beginnings. And you know,

    When is it that we go around and collect the flowers, the fruits, the vegetables? At what point do we harvest? Especially if we don’t actually know that we’re in a drought. And my podcasts so far are very self-absorbed. They’re very much about myself as I introduce myself. I really would like at some point for others to come forward and communicate and it would be lovely to hear

    your story and see how your story has helped with your very own transformation. The last podcast I spoke about my Pluto Square, Pluto transit for those that read astrology you’ll understand for those that do not study astrology let’s just say my life went through a harsh transformation. Some might reflect and think not so harsh but for me

    being in it. At this moment I feel really aged. I feel as if the wind has been almost taken out of me. I’ve definitely aged over the last few weeks and I don’t mean in number.

    and I was having a conversation and in that conversation I had an aha moment as you do and I understood fully what it means to try to harvest whilst actually you’re in a drought. I was trying to get things out of a time where the universe was actually encouraging me to stop, stand still, take a seat back.

    I definitely had to do enough to keep moving. I definitely believed that life would not have come to me had I decided to just stay in bed whilst things were progressing to and through me. This was my lesson, this was my life lesson. Only I could go through it.

    But in going through it, the challenges came, the hopes, the dreams. What does faith really mean to you? Does faith only work when things go your way? That was one of the questions throughout the transit. Can I accept that the good, the bad, the indifferent all happen collectively to create the lives that we are creating on a day-to-day basis?

    and to take ownership of it all. All.

    Sometimes just like a plant pot sometimes we’re planting intentional seeds and it’s not until the spring that we see what was up beneath. I’ve had many a plant plot put seeds in had an idea as to what I was expecting for the spring for there to be a completely different bloom plant sprout that has come out to what I’ve planted.

    You know, soil, if you’re a planter, soil has many seeds within, even if they sterilise the soil, as I know some companies have said they do, you often find different things growing at different times of the year. And that’s a good analogy of life. There are things beneath the surface that we may not have personally intentionally placed. We’re talking about

    our ancestry, our lineage, our cells, our DNA, the agreement that we made before we came here with whoever we made it as we got here. I truly believe there are souls that came through this dark period that I’ve been through to come and interject some light and they disappeared. People coming in to give me loans, people coming to give me criticism, to give me advice and then step back.

    whatever it was, this was the time and season that I was to go through.

    illnesses have taken over my nearest and dearest. So they were the ones that would be there to champion a cause, give me time to talk through any changes I was going through. They were not available because they were dealing with their illness. It wasn’t selfishness. This was a necessity. They had to focus on their health and their health has not got better. There’s been relief in some areas. Some have gone further in a more of a decline.

    So my support system…

    Yeah, has gone.

    I’ve learned to be encouraged to go back to myself.

    There’s so much energy trying to harvest in a season of drought and if you’re like me that feeds off what the energy from others are is that’s coming around us.

    The expectation, why aren’t you doing? Why are you doing? And knowing that you’ve got people around you that have no clue, as much as they believe in a good or have faith or what have you for some reason, people have no clue that often what we’re going through is connected to such things so much bigger than what we see. Why is that?

    In fact, when we’re giving guidance and support, we do need to tap in and say, you know what? I get it. You’re going through X, Y, Z. But what’s the bigger picture? I love reading astrologers and so when they make comments about transits and what’s happening with this and what’s happening with that. I’m no astrologer. I’ve been reading astrology for years, but I’m not an astrologer. What I like to do is get the message within the

    the transit, the context, the message, what is it telling you?

    I’m quite good at that. Much better at doing it for others than myself because whilst I’m looking at myself I’ve got a vested interest and I do have a habit of trying to dismiss the bad things and projecting the good things and then wondering why the other happened and this didn’t happen and so but for others I can see the picture what it’s what it’s telling me harvesting in a drought how many times have you done that? Tried to extract

    from a situation where the things that you need to extract just aren’t ready. Like the child that is forced to grow up early, wash, cook, clean, iron, be the mother of the house, so to speak. You’re expecting her to have wise decisions and an awareness and knowing because you’ve trained her to do the house.

    but actually she’s not had the life experience to match the physical doing.

    that’s how we see a plant pot. The plant pot has so much nutrients you know even the soil is dark you can’t see through it you don’t know what is in it but taking a step back you’re able to view the plants as they sprout the flowers as they sprout the buds coming through.

    But we need to know the difference between a planting season, when is it to put our seeds and our seeds are always being planted mind you, even in the harvest. Every day we’re planting a seed that will be harvested at some point in the future, in our tomorrow. Intentional planting versus unintentional planting.

    But we all have periods in our life where we come across and are encouraged and forced through a drought.

    if we reflect, think for me, it’s happened more than once in my life, I think. Would I say this has been the worst one? Different scenarios, different environment. You know, when I was younger, I moved around a lot. I didn’t have a mortgage. I didn’t have a home to call my own.

    the picture has changed the scenario is different this time the survival instincts was really prominent and to hear the same old feedback you’re not doing enough you should do this you should do that if I was you I would do this I love it when people tell you what they’re going they would do if they were in your case which they’ve never been in it’s an interesting phenomenon the drought

    And I don’t know what it is why we all forget the droughts in our life. Regardless of how wealthy you might be, there’s always been some level of drought. There’s been some reckoning. But for some reason we don’t have that grace or empathy for others when they’re going through their time. And it’s a nice thing to be around people that’s in different seasons. How else do you have that contrast? If we were in a zone,

    war for example would you want to see everybody in a panic or would you like to have a mix of people some people calm some people reflective like you need that variety so that you can always shift your mood shift your focus because ultimately we want to be balanced not too high not too low just Zen

    This is Lea Tahir, goddess of growth, I was speaking about Pluto square, Pluto, which I’ve been through, my midlife crisis and how it took energy and youth away from me. I’m aged now. I can feel it physically, get the hot flushes. I wear wigs now as well, and they can be really hot. I never knew they could be as hot as they are.

    strange things that I knew

    And as much as we think about droughts and season, it’s about acknowledging time because time is not just about our age, our solar returns, our progressions, our perfection years, or the day as we sit in on a day-to-day basis. Time and season is also about the collective, what we’re going on, what’s going on environmentally, politically, globally.

    Right?

    seasonality and acknowledging that there’s a spiritual significance throughout it all, like how much of it has already happened, was already destined to happen.

    So I do believe it was pre-written but has it all happened before? Have I done this before? Or is this all new? Am I creating this new? Is this a new, new, new, new, new experience?

    And then we have real life kicking in as I feel the heat of my body and I have to cool myself with water with ice to remind me I’m a physical body, I’m in the present. This is the reality that I’m living. Financial pressure. How much of it can we change? And that’s another thing because whilst I was going through the Pluto, Square Pluto, it was almost like…

    I wanted everything to change but my home and I spoke in the last podcast about coming towards the end of the transit and then all of a sudden all I want to do is change my home.

    Not that there’s anything wrong with my home per se, but I just feel quite enclosed here now. I need more space.

    Financial droughts, emotional droughts.

    I feel as if my drought was more financial than emotional. But then the opportunity to interact with others, to connect with each other and others on an emotional level, as outside of social media was sparse. Unless of course it involved an interaction.

    where I was, you know, asking for a loan or so. I think that was the most emotion that I came across towards the end of the transit.

    People have been very distant.

    distant maybe because part of it is questioning why at my right age I’m going through difficulty at this stage of life but also distant because within my collective lots of people are having health issues people have started to pass away more frequently so the focus has shifted it’s not about the

    me supports you support that we had before life has changed priorities have changed.

    Just like my birthday of last year, there was no big celebration. Everyone seemed to be celebrating in a space where I was really impoverished. I found I had lost some finance. I wasn’t able to do things as I would have liked to have done. In fact, I didn’t plan a big 50th bash. It just wasn’t a priority for me. So I found myself in an environment where…

    everyone was celebrating but me. I pacified myself by spending the day baking a cake but the point of my story is that actually sometimes we are with others that are in different realities and as I’ve gotten to this stage of life I now question this party, the reason for a party if actually my life is not balanced, it’s not right.

    In the old days if I didn’t have I could definitely muster up an outfit, a little bit of money and be present. You would look glamorous and no one would know what you had in your fridge, in your cupboard. But today priorities have shifted, life has changed. If I’m not okay at home I don’t feel comfortable leaving to go and party anywhere else. I’m still celebrating those who need to be celebrated but in my own way.

    but I must say the financial limitations that I’ve gone through, I can’t do them anymore. I’m really exhausted and I do know that life has to shift. I need to feel a value in the work that I do. No more can I do work for free for no return.

    And I question if, as I’m not having children, husband and so, the dream of a house, is it really something to hold onto? I did it because I thought I was going to have a family of my own. I didn’t have any trust that I would meet a man that was going to house, clothe and feed me. That wasn’t my life story. And somehow, by this second property, I did it again on my own.

    So now what is it that I’m working towards? It’s an interesting place to be in. Financial limitations has made me consider the quality of my life and the reasons for life as I’m living it. There is uncertainty. No idea really what I’m working towards because I’ve lived…

    a life of survival so long and there has been a lot of time just surviving. I’m really tired of just surviving and I’m really tired of pretending and when I say pretending showing up to places and being made to feel that I should have when I don’t have. I’ve done it so many times before, gone on a holiday, used a credit card,

    come back and spent a year or so paying it off tired of it.

    no more will I allow anyone else’s frustration that I don’t have to determine how much I will have to risk on in the future. Now is the time to clear out and start again. New furniture, new environment, new decor, something needs to change. I don’t know what it will be, but something needs to change.

    no more false promises, no more pretending. And when I say no pretending, gosh, I haven’t had a relationship in such a long time. And I cannot remember a relationship in a very long time where I didn’t have to squint my eyes or make extra allowances just for the sake of having a relationship. And that would be the truth.

    I’m in a different space, I’m older now and I am thinking well okay how am I living my last quarter, who knows how long I will be here, surely there must be quality in life, it’s not so much about quantity because for me there’s been decades I would say yeah had I known if I did of would I, could I, should I, that kind of situation.

    I’m here in my home. I really hope that spirit doesn’t think I’m being ungrateful, but it’s been a place of incubation, a sanctuary, a place for the release of my old self. And the financial limitations has meant I have had to come face to face with myself. There was no get out clause. This was my space and my space, but this was my space. A feeling of being stuck.

    and only recently did I acknowledge it as the season of drought. I thought it was a season of planting seeds and ploughing and waiting for things to happen. Not realising that yeah, yeah you were planting but it wasn’t ready, there wasn’t time now for your things to manifest.

    no children. I thought by now at least one child, two children max. Our husband.

    and the meaning what does my life mean as a woman what does that mean now questions no answers the coaching that’s the only thing that gives me joy and hope but even the way it’s delivered has changed everything has changed

    You know, we started off with my hypnotherapy base, hypnoanalysis, emotional freedom techniques, alternative therapy. And then I find myself this year being encouraged to coach, but coach based on what people want and need. So people want and need in this time of economic crisis, so to speak. They want a way to monetize, to make money, to grow, to get visibility.

    How do we match that with my ideas of transformation? Because I understand that actually for money to flow through my life, I need to transfer my ideas, my self-concept. It starts from within. So now I have to find a way to match what I know from my soul and really transform it in my life and the life of others.

    And we start with tools on a platform. We start with ideas of community, of connection. Ideas.

    And with those ideas we tap into purpose, we try to find meaning. But they’re only as good as those that come forward to connect the dots with us, participate in the transformation on offer.

    And that’s where after so many years, 2022 to just the end of July 2025, working towards what I thought I was working on my fully self-employed business where I wouldn’t have to do any work for anyone else, just myself.

    I sit and wonder how much of it was a dream and how much of it was actually…

    planting seeds to create a reality. There’s definitely a disconnect between the time and resources I’ve spent building, building, building to come to the end and to question well what do I have here. I closed my creator account on TikTok just a few days ago. It’s got 30 days to close down fully. I should have done it ages ago. Should have, would have, could have.

    They suppressed that account almost from day one when I opened it. I’m glad I had it because I got to see the other side. Only my posts were suppressed most of the time.

    I suppose I needed to go through it because I needed to be in a position as to when I coach others for us to understand fully, okay, well, we can transform. We can acknowledge what it is that we want to change and make better and so, but understand in life, there’s what we can do and what is there to be done. I’ve had this house, I’ve got two spare rooms.

    I have had it on advert for a very long time. I’ve learned that in this life we can have resources and still not make money. I remember watching an old war movie and found that prisoners were released from jail and they were brought to a piece of land that had lots of gold and trinkets that were stolen from the houses.

    and it was intriguing because these people were brought there they had all these jewels luxuries household goods that were valuable but the simple thing of having things like water and food was not there so those things that were so valuable were worthless in the time of need

    And those are the things that one reflects upon when they’ve left a period of drought. Like what is it that we’re taking forward of value actually? What are we left with? And even at this end, the end of a drought, you come forward and you question the things that we find in our homes around us.

    that we collected, there was a time that we really wanted those things. There was a purpose for them. And then one day you look around and there are things that you haven’t used in such a long time, things that you’ve not seen for years locked in a cellar, in a loft somewhere, in a shed somewhere. They were really important at one time and then…

    All of a sudden years go by you’ve not seen them and you don’t even remember that you have them.

    season of harvest.

    Biblically they say for everything there is a time and a season, do they not? Is it Corinthians 13? They talk about when I was a child, I behaved as a child and…

    We need to teach children, I think, seasons. And to teach children that actually the idea that we are all in this world but in different worlds, this is a real and true concept. In one classroom, we’ve got children with different histories, genetically, spiritually, and in different seasons of life. And we need to understand that contrast from childhood.

    because that will help us greatly in adult food. The time to sow, the time to eat.

    but if you’re anything like me maybe you would be told anyway and still try to push the boundary find out if it’s true test it out wait till the middle the end of the season before you finally ignore it hold on a minute this is actually true I should have trusted this is what’s going on this is the season that I’m in

    If you’re spiritually aware, I doubt you need astrology actually because I can tell you there is a feeling, there is some kind of connection, it’s like a almost inner knowing. I use astrology just to, I suppose, evidence what I’m feeling, what’s going on and the patterns I find easier to look at in others than myself because I have a vested interest in how things

    how I want things to play out in my life.

    But if there’s anything that I’ve learnt from 22 to 25 end of July, there is patience. patience doesn’t mean denial or pretending everything is okay. But patience could actually be taking some time out in the day to just spend some moments breathing, focusing, getting centered.

    ⁓ just breathing.

    and I know it’s not easy because I too still want to know okay what’s next, why, what’s going on. I feel disappointment in the time that I let pass thinking that things will work out in the end and they do work out in the end but I’ve understood now that not necessarily in the way that we’d like.

    when they tell you it’s all going to be alright yeah it’s all going to be alright but maybe not necessarily in the way that you envisage even that is okay isn’t it this life is a short one we’ve all come for a contracted period of time and now I understand probably more emphasis needs to be on that knowledge the beginning the end

    so that the quality is really focused, we focus on it in between what people have to say and you know, they’re just mirrors coming in to us, remind us to get back on path on purpose. But building the quality in the in between the beginning, the end is really so important.

    I’m ready to move on but I find myself trapped.

    I find myself trapped in the survival, the survival mode that I’ve been in really for a lifetime and I understand that I am resilient, I am a fighter, I’ve put myself through embarrassing situations just to keep my home.

    and now I am ready I’m ready to move on I don’t know what moving on looks like

    I don’t know how it will be with little to no resources. Do I need to survive some more? Put in more hours? Like what do I need to do to make it happen? I really don’t know. But I must admit over the last two weeks there’s a part of me that’s just surrendered. I’m just like actually rather than continuing trying to build.

    you know this is the time to start cleaning out and there’s been many a day when I’ve just wanted to just cut things out, advertise sofas, like just get things gone, like I have nothing to replace them but I just want them out. How ungrateful is that right? It’s non-intentional, I’m just done, I’ve done my time, I’ve done it now, it’s like now it’s time to move forward.

    So there is a surrender accompanied by uncertainty.

    and I know that the full surrender and acknowledgement of how I feel because feeling what we feel is really important. This is not about me asking for permission to feel, no. This is me acknowledging what I feel because I understand my feelings are like the litmus tests. They’re the barometer, the barometer, the thermometer to tell me okay, where you are right now, something needs to change.

    surrendering is okay understanding that I can only control what can I control

    my response to ever-changing circumstances on an every moment and day-by-day basis. But in understanding that, I understand that with the shift, I am now open and ready for new possibilities, new opportunities, and I also understand that there are opportunities that will come my way that aren’t just not for me. How about that?

    so many things it’s like going into the cupboard and deciding to bake a cake I love this analogy when you go to bake a cake you go to the cupboard there’s a set list of ingredients for your in your recipe you’re not going to go to the cupboard and put everything from the cupboard into the cake and that’s life so it’s about being open and then when the opportunities and possibilities come my way being as centered as possible so that I know

    okay this feels right this is for me ⁓ no this probably is not the one for me right now and the intention is to raise my energy enough that actually the more I progress the opportunities that come are much more in alignment to my destiny and purpose so it’s not just a question of if they are suitable for me it’s a case of okay when do I get started

    Are you in what’s called a liminal space my darlings? Are you like me that’s just at the end at the cusp you’ve not left you’ve just left that dark space just at the end you can see the light but you’ve not quite stepped over into that chapter.

    I do feel that there is a time and a space that I need to take and put aside for mourning. I’ve said to myself if I can and I live to see it I’d love to travel, take myself away and really just put this last chapter to bed. I’ve not had a chance to really mourn the dream of a life as to what it could be.

    but that’s okay. I plod on.

    So if you are in the in-between stage

    the living little space similar to my own do tap in and let me know how it’s going for you I know for myself there are times when I feel hopeful not quite excited I go into a bit of a dream world to what could be what might be if things were different or if I did this or you know that’s a different way

    I’m thankful that the drought has gone. I’m thankful that the new season has begun. And I understand there’s just some weeds that need to be taken and cut away. I understand all of that. I am looking forward to the summer to come on this season where I can bask in the glory.

    flowers and everything that has manifested. Until then, I understand I need to respect the spaces that I’m in, the time, the place, because otherwise what tends to happen, I try to continually skip past the lessons of life. We know that that doesn’t happen, right? And in wanting to skip past it, I think in a way it makes it harder.

    but we’re using lemons and we’re making lemonade and we’re not going to continue sucking, sucking, sucking the lemon. I do love a lemon though. Admittedly, I do love a lemon.

    So I do encourage you to connect. This is a podcast where we can build community and I would love to build community. If you are listening, please pass this on to others. If you’d like to support my presence, we’ve got ways to do so at the end of the podcast, but more so than anything, I would love for listeners to really connect with me if you have any questions, any suggestions.

    if you’d like to open up communication on this space I’d love you to do so.

    And in the meantime I invite you my listeners to reflect on your own season. What season are you in right now? What season have you been through? Are you in a season of harvesting? Are you in a season of sewing? Do you know the difference?

    Thank you so much for being here. You’ve been a flea to our goddess of growth. I look forward to seeing your comments at the end of this podcast.

    Empowerment Diaries: Harvesting in the Drought and the Liminal Space

    I am reflecting on a recent milestone: Lita, Goddess of Growth is now acknowledged by AI on Google. This is a key marker in my visibility process. However, as I celebrate this digital architecture, I am also acknowledging the physical and soul-deep fatigue of last few years. I feel aged—not by number, but by weight of a long, harsh transformation.

    I have spent too much energy trying to harvest whilst in a drought. I was trying to extract results from a season where universe was actually encouraging me to stop and sit back. I have learned that faith is not just for when things go my way; it is for taking ownership of entire journey—good, bad, and indifferent.

    Seasons and Seeds: Key Messages & Chapters

    • [00:00] Digital Acknowledgement: I celebrate my brand being recognised by AI. Visibility is essential for coaching and legacy, yet I remain grounded in reality of my story.
    • [10:00] The Illusion of Harvest: I discuss the “aha moment” of trying to harvest during drought. I was pushing for growth when I should have been standing still.
    • [20:00] Soil and Ancestry: I use the analogy of a plant pot. Even sterilized soil contains seeds we did not intentionally plant—DNA, lineage, and pre-written agreements.
    • [30:00] Support Systems and Silence: I reflect on how illness affected my nearest and dearest, removing my external support and forcing me back to self-reliance.
    • [45:00] From House to Home: I address shift in my focus. After years of fighting to keep my home, I now feel an urge for movement. My home has been a sanctuary, but perhaps it is now a container I have outgrown.
    • [01:05:00] The Liminal Space: I describe being at the cusp—just leaving dark space, seeing light, but not yet stepping into next chapter. This is a time for mourning dreams that didn’t manifest and surrendering to uncertainty.

    My Core Truth

    “I am resilient; I am a fighter. I have put myself through embarrassing situations just to keep my home, but now I am ready to move on. Surrendering is not giving up; it is acknowledging that I can only control my response to ever-changing circumstances. I am making lemonade, and I am done sucking on lemons.”

    Brand Integrity Note

    This episode bridges the gap between my “Survival” era and my path to my very own “Sovereign” era. It explains the physical toll of 2025 while highlighting my focus on mastering Digital Architecture (the AI acknowledgement).

    Empowerment Diaries®: Pluto, Uranus Disruption and the Cleanup

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:01)
    goddess of growth I am here to give my check-in my update I hope you are with me I hope you’re good and this is me at the end of a very very very long transit as you may know I do read on astrology I read it I haven’t taken it as seriously as I

    should have or could have on occasion

    Pluto Square Pluto, some would call it their midlife crisis, started to affect me from the end of 2022 until the end of July 2025. And just before the end, I started to feel the shift, the difference. However, there is a sense of mourning.

    There is a sense of fatigue.

    I spent from 2022 until the very last moment doing my best to fight against circumstances, bring back finances that had disappeared, connect with connections that had disappeared. Friends, family, jobs, career, everything just

    seemed so distant, so far away as I sat struggling, working many hours off most every day, trying to at least recoup and regain the stability I thought I had before 22, 23, 24 and early 25 kicked in. All the time

    Having in mind I mustn’t lose my home, I must keep my home. That’s the only thing really that keeps me moving forward because I have had a life of moving from place to place, job to job.

    And prior to moving to this house in 2020, I was fortunate to purchase my first apartment and that was the very first place of stability that I had from leaving my parental home at the age of 17. So my apartment was my first purchase and I was able to stay there 11 years and three months.

    I’ve aged.

    I’ve definitely aged and it seems to have happened within the last few weeks and months, not years for sure. It’s almost as if the hope, the optimism, everything just came crashing down. But not with total despair. There’s a sense of faith, a sense of resolution.

    you know, a better understanding that there’s more to life than what I see. There’s been lots of losses, dreams I’ve had and held onto as to the reasons why I should persevere and keep on working have disappeared.

    And now I attempt to carve a path so that at least the last quarter of my life is spent doing things I truly enjoy. Otherwise, what’s life for, right?

    no children, no husband. All the things I thought would be a natural aspect of my life.

    I am going through the aftermath of this Pluto Square Pluto transit and it came in troughs. There were times when I thought I’d beat it as things appeared to be moving for me and there were times when as I say things just disappeared.

    But I’m here, the transit has ended and now we have the time for cleanup. And interestingly, the cleanup has included me questioning whether this home that I’ve fought to stay in for so many years is the right space and base for myself. All of a sudden…

    The one thing that was keeping me focused and moving forward is the one thing that I now want to change. I don’t know if it’s just the furniture that needs changing, the decor.

    or a move. I have no idea how a move will happen because finances are so dire at the moment. But I know life has a habit of working itself out. The answers will come. I just know that the urge I feel to move, to start afresh a new chapter, that’s definitely something that I need to listen to.

    Pluto square, Pluto, who knew huh? I read it and like with all transits one never really knows what we’re going to go through until we actually go through it but having it to reflect on has been helpful. I did have assistance and guidance, people came into my life along the way to guide me and prompt me. Many didn’t have the best advice and guidance at all.

    It’s as if I was being reminded to go back to self, stop reaching outside, go inside. What’s your inside telling you? And my inside has been prompted me to try new things, to persevere and also to question when things aren’t working, to sit back and really observe the environments that I’m in.

    You see, I notice when I’m in a path of life where I feel it’s okay to live in fantasy. For sure, I will meet people that mirror fantasy back to me.

    But I am a Scorpio, rising sign Taurus. Most certainly eventually the truthful be something that comes to me. It might take a while as I stubbornly try to make things work even when the time to let go may have passed a long long long time ago.

    So I am in a reflective space. I could have come on a good while ago, but it’s been hard. It’s been tiresome. I’ve been attempting to incorporate new opportunities and get on with those whilst clearing up the old transit, the old chapter.

    Who knew? So yes, relationships have been challenged, ideas on life have been challenged, my dreams have been challenged. What remains? My ability to coach, my ability to connect, to empathise. And what remains is a greater wisdom and understanding that there are some things in life that are definitely pre-written.

    Our season is our season.

    and as I reflect on some of the losses there’s definitely been gains. I suppose the idea that I could lose my home given that the finances were so low kept me really focused and working beyond any type of…

    work I’ve done in the past. I’ve never worked so hard in my life. Early mornings, late evenings.

    Mind you, this last week I haven’t been on social media to post or live stream. It’s almost two weeks now that I stopped live streaming. There’s a lot of things I’ve learned and I understand I need to streamline. And there does come a time when I ask myself, you’ve put in all these hours, what is it you have to show for it?

    And these were questions I was being asked anyway, but I needed to see it for myself.

    It’s been a fight, it’s been a struggle.

    And even towards the end, find that systems in place are almost trying to clamp down on my voice. Thank goodness for podcasting. In fact, it was those very same systems that encouraged me to podcast. I joined TikTok initially with my business account.

    and I noticed there were a few shares that would be deleted as apparently they were not seen as appropriate. It took me nearly a year, probably not so long, to choose to open a different account, a creator account, so that I could have fun and be more, freer in talking about what I wanted to talk about. But the systems that be put some kind of multi-account flag on it,

    basically suppressed it from growing, stopped my purse from going out.

    I was alerted to it around last November, December, but I didn’t take it seriously because I was so much focused on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to proceed.

    Yeah, the journey continues. Taking on roles and responsibilities for money, that continues. Started something part-time last year and I thought I would be leaving it by now, making sure that I would be self-sufficient on a full-time, self-employed basis rather than dipping in and out as I do.

    And it turns out that the part-time became full-time, whilst also doing other things to make sure that my self-employed activity isn’t forgotten or left behind.

    April I started getting prompts on my for you page or for you feed how you call it on TikTok, guiding me to apply to become a TikTok creator network.

    It seemed like a great opportunity to continue my coaching and because I have been on the platform for a while and had my various experiences, I thought this would be a great opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and also to give my inputs and support to other creators that want to grow. I have had

    good experiences on the platform. I managed to get an ambassadorship, I managed to get affiliate programs, made any great income. However, this space is there to grow. And as much as I felt as if my own presence was being suppressed, I can see the opportunities with the right support.

    on and off the platform. I applied and within I think probably a week I was accepted into the role. I had three attempts to go for interviews which I could not make because of her commitments but I was able to be pushed through and the role became mine.

    and it’s only now I’m now fully understanding that such a role may actually mean the decision to limit or curtail or suppress my voice.

    I have had to sit with a lot of things observing the environment, the platform, the space to really try to understand how it is I would fit in, not just for the creators that I’m going to support to coach, but also for myself, what happens to my coaching practice, my podcast, the areas that I want to develop. But you know, in the

    traditional Pluto way. Sometimes we get these opportunities to really help us to transform. And my life is about transformation, transforming myself first and encouraging others to transform also. And I understand now in hindsight, there’s quite a few opportunities that have come my way over the last, from 2022 until now.

    that have come my way to encourage me to adjust my focus. So this Creator Network opportunity came. I’ve used my limited company to register to do it. And I’ve been sold a dream of building my own company and entity to support others to grow. And it’s all within a structure.

    And what’s nice about it is that one has access to the backstage of the company and they’re able to look at analytics to see how engaged audiences are. We understand with live streaming, we have the opportunity individually to build our own channels. The platform provides the space, the opportunity is for us to make the space our own.

    So we get that.

    What I didn’t factor in is that everything is still in development. So I’ve been showing up in spaces and not finding the right connections to build and grow. Spending time online intending on meeting people that I can support only to find that the wrong people ⁓ are sent to the space that I am in.

    live streaming.

    And what I’ve learned from that is that actually it’s my task to curate. ⁓

    followers, contacts, connections, clients, who knew?

    It’s my task to network and reach out, make myself available and visible so that people can connect with me too.

    And what the opportunity has brought to my attention is the need to have a entity beyond just a social media platform. Because each one comes with their rules and regulations right. And let’s not forget when I joined TikTok so many years ago now, 2023 I believe.

    I went on so that I could expand my connections, build my network so that I’d have more people getting to know me to refer me and my services onto others.

    The Creator Network opportunity really did feel as if it was the perfect opportunity. And notice I say it’s in past tense and I have been working to adapt it to my own trajectory, my own growth area, my vision of what support and coaching looks like.

    And even today I’ve asked questions as to how I am expected to show up and I still have a few questions left unanswered. expect to find out very soon because how the role was sold to me was that it would be one where I could increase my brand awareness, visibility and those of others.

    But at the moment it looks as if it might be the case of promoting what is going on on the platform. I don’t know. We’ll see.

    And if I think about it, it’s been like that across social media. Each and everyone has their rules. We have these algorithms that we’re supposed to post on to get acknowledged, to get seen. Visibility is key. And we find that we are simultaneously being clamped down on in terms of our authentic expression.

    They offer visibility, well that’s the promise isn’t it? Because we understand with visibility we can get the monetisation many of us want and not necessarily from the platform. We’ve got brand deals, we’ve got customers that will come to meet with us directly. There’s collaboration, there’s partnerships out there to be made. But not if anyone’s seeing you. If they’re not seeing you, the collaborations can’t happen.

    Coming.

    So, Pluto Square, Pluto took everything away and I spent the majority of that time following guidance. Be visible, be present on social media, that’s what you’ll need to do as your next step. What I didn’t understand was the time that I was in was not the time really that any form of visibility was going to help my growth and development.

    However, in being there, the opportunities that have come my way, they were able to…

    Yeah, take place.

    I think the time of drought, should we say, Pluto’s queer Pluto was a training ground to identify and see restrictions. I remember so many posts I created with people really happy with the posts I created. They resonated and they’d come onto my account and they’d like and comment and do all the things that you’re supposed to do to push posts.

    And more than one person, the very final one who I was telling, please stop, just don’t bother sharing the post, just leave it because it became apparent that actually if the platform doesn’t want to push your post, they will not push your post. And the very last person said to me, she doesn’t understand it. It’s evident that they’re not pushing the post.

    Yeah and you know this is life, this is what we’re taught in childhood isn’t it? It’s become apparent to me that my mother daughter relationship was really the training ground for what was going to happen next. Imagine being in situations whereby you have an entity that’s reminding you for your behaviour that doesn’t suit their environment.

    and then not long after giving you encouragement to take on a training program or an opportunity or whatever it is that comes your way. And that’s how it’s been that pull, push, pull, push, pull. It’s taken me a while to fully acknowledge what’s been going on. When you’re used to that cycle, it can be sometimes quite difficult to identify it. But once you see it,

    you see it and you can’t unsee it.

    having my voice clamped down on at a time when in my life this is the time for my life for me to be seen, for my voice to be heard.

    So we have a push and pull on power, on transformation, on a real dynamic for change. And now is my opportunity to acknowledge my inner power. Tap into it.

    getting ready to release it. I have no idea of the exact time it will be that I will be able to stand and be strong and present in the leadership opportunities I’m aware are destined for me. But for now, we’ve passed through the last few years addressing any ideas of having power.

    and control of a life. Who knew?

    learning that actually the greatest power comes from understanding that we actually do not know what’s going to happen in the next moment in the next breath. We assume but we really don’t know. Even if we see what is written to follow we really do not know. I was given guidance and there are a few things that I see that has manifest. I was like ⁓

    I see. Could I have avoided it? I don’t think so. I did try my best to. I worked really hard to avoid all the things that happened.

    I’m here, I’m still here in my home, the home I fought to keep.

    There are things that I prayed for and I wanted and then towards the end I’m now questioning, is that really me?

    So that I think it was about a week or two ago, my two empty rooms, I believe I’ve received a couple of inquiries and I really did not want to connect. I just felt so exhausted, so beaten on, so trodden on, so tired. I really did not want to connect to talk about people coming into my space, a space that ⁓ I can barely breathe in living in.

    on my own. The space needs a clearing, candles, incense, everything just to take that energy that I’ve been suppressing for so long trying to get through, plod through. People had told me that I should leave my home and come back at the transit end. I really don’t know who has the freedom to run away from transits.

    what a privileged life you lead, I think, if you’re able to see a transit and say, okay, let me get a ticket. I’m not staying there for now. That’s an amazing life. And maybe that’s your path. But I’m here, I’ve done it. Little bit of sadness.

    Yeah, but I’m here.

    Now I am, if I’m honest, struggling. I remind myself to be grateful. I understand that everything I have, there was a time that I prayed to have it. I meditated on having it. This house, I wrote a list of all the rooms I wanted. I wrote it down and I manifested it.

    It took six months because it was in the pandemic when I got it. It took six months for me to be able to move in. I found it in April. I moved in in September.

    So I have no idea why now of all times my mind has decided, my soul has decided, now is the time to think about moving after so much effort trying to keep it. It’s funny, I’m thankful that I didn’t just lose it.

    I’m really thankful that I was able to hold it together and at least keep this roof over my head.

    And then we think about maintaining the material and allowing for the spiritual to happen. And what do I mean by that? See, within everything that’s happened, I have learned to listen more to my inner voice. There’s been so many times I’ve sat down

    and listen to others speaking as to what I should, could and what they would do in my situation.

    You know, it’s taken me a long time to really fully acknowledge the environment that I’ve been in.

    not just my home. My home has been my shield and it has actually kept me safe. I’ve not been in a position until just this year when I got a plot, which I no longer have. I’ve not been in position to get involved with village life, politics or anything because I’ve just been home working, working, working morning, night, morning, night. I’ve hardly gone anywhere which has affected my body.

    It has been my refuge, my sanctuary, my shelter, my space.

    and this is the home and space that I’ve learned to listen to my soul in my waking hour.

    often waking up with messages of what to do today, how to go about things, sometimes questioning was that really a message? Did you make it up? Are you in tune or are you just making it up as you go along? And finding a joy and a pleasure when I’ve listened and things have worked out well. Expressing annoyance when I haven’t listened to find that things have not worked so well.

    So my lesson has been to take note of transits and there is a push and pull with me because sometimes I see transits and all that, that’s not really going to bother me and sometimes it could be the flip side of it. I don’t always know which ones will have a direct impact on my current situation. I’m still learning, it’s been many years reading astrology but I’m still learning.

    life experience is a great teacher right. My perfection year was two which meant that the focus was supposed to be on finance and because I’m still learning I assumed that meant I was going to have an increase of finance not a reduction.

    Jupiter has passed through my life and I expected an increase of finance. It wasn’t explained to me that actually Jupiter will enhance whatever it finds. Debts, work, whatever it finds. Who knew? I’ve been waiting for miracles. I’ve been waiting for fast solutions.

    Interestingly, the role I took on last year to get a bit of cash in, feedback I had was, ⁓ you know, you’re looking for fast life, fast cash, you know, it’s not going to happen. Like, who knew that I’d be going into full time hours? I’m learning there are things that we find and we think, don’t bother with that, because, you know, it could be dodgy or what I have here. And actually, they work out better.

    to the things that you think are more realistic. I’ve started to question what does work mean for me? We have this idea of stability, but you do know that the majority of the jobs out there are actually a gamble, right? It came to me one day when I was questioned about working for commission. Bonuses.

    The majority of the jobs that we do are the gamble. We have employers, do we not, that will guarantee an income. But we know as history has shown us, there has been times where employers haven’t been able to pay employees due to crashes in the marketplace and so. And even though as an employee, you may not personally be reliant on

    the interest rates also. Often companies are investing money into the stock exchange. There is a bit of a gambling environment going on, making sure that whoever has signed up for pensions can get those health care and also to secure the long-term position of the company. It’s common sense, You’d want to invest the money.

    into something to make it appreciate, no?

    Just because you may not necessarily go out and invest in a stock market yourself doesn’t mean that the company that you’re working for isn’t doing the same.

    we’ve just taken risks in a different way and the risk that we’re taking is determining the standard of life that we’re living, right?

    I’ve had a long period of struggle. And when I say a long period of struggle, there’s been so many hours, you know, I can’t believe I’ve done all of that. I’m only just getting back or getting my sense of self-respect. I’ve been doing coaching a lot of time free of charge. And interestingly, the Creator Network opportunity requires one to give

    coaching free of charge but it’s like a partnership so the idea is that you coach others to do well as they do well they start earning through gifts on the platform and then the platform pays you however

    I don’t know how many people one will meet that will do well. I’m yet to see it.

    There’s an energy about free delivery when it comes to this kind of service actually.

    I needed the experience. I needed to go through what I went through to see the depth, the level.

    I sat so many times watching people on a live stream with a few hundred people watching them and very few, you know they rely on gifts, very few gifts being sent and we’d all sit down taking knowledge, feeding off the host that was sharing things that one could use to help make their lives better.

    There’s been so many shifts around me and I think it was a ground for me to study and work out like what is this social media all about?

    I’ve learned real growth comes from not just networking but relationship building. It doesn’t matter which platform we use, what kind of conduit, we need to be in a position where we can connect with each other and relate. It’s the human nature. We need to hear each other’s voices even if we can’t touch. We need to be present. We need to be able to build rapport.

    So the focus now is on relationship building. The focus now is on creating spaces that safe where visibility is okay. And it’s the focus right now to make sure that there is a space where not only are we visible, but we have a voice because so many times we’ve been forced to clamp down on our voice in childhood.

    in womanhood, in life.

    And this is not the time for me personally to just be quiet.

    So the podcast remains. This is my space. I know I don’t have many listeners at the moment but that’s okay. For the time being this is the space as it is to be.

    I will continue to share my lessons. And you know, if you are going through something similar, whether or not you read astrology, I want you to be assured, as you know, something in your background, know, this time will pass. Be ready for the clean up. I’ve got so much cleaning up to do right now. I mean, literally. There are things, you know, when…

    We’re in the 11th of August now. I’m telling you, I felt the shift towards the end of July. I tell you how close it was. So the Pluto Square, Pluto Transit talked about finances disappearing, this disappearing, that disappearing. And we were coming towards the end of July and I thought, surely my finances will increase before the end of July. I probably misread a few transits and so hopefully

    hoped that things would change and in fact I was offered more income and really at the very last moment I was told it wasn’t going to come until August I was like what the hell how do you mean August we need it in July July I was in a position where I wasn’t even able to pay to keep my Wi-Fi on let me tell you

    managed to pay everything else but the wifi but here I am

    didn’t even give me a break to say okay now you’re leaving the transit let me give you a break I didn’t even have a break

    and it also meant that I had to focus on committing more of my time.

    And now I’m in a space of wanting freedom. I suppose that’s the next stage. Movement and freedom is my next focus, right?

    spend so long trying to keep a space and a house and a structure, stability, get to the end of it and then all of a sudden you just want it all to explode, for it to go, everything just to go. I don’t know how it’s going to work but I know things just need to move. And I know it might sound ungrateful but trust me, it’s like I’ve been in a container in a prism and then the prism’s just like

    I need to be near water, cool breeze and just breathe. Another thing, age near 51 now, I can definitely feel the change in my hormones. This is real life going on right now. It’s like my body is telling me this energy, this space, it needs to change. When everyone was saying to me, you know, you’re going to move or, you know,

    why don’t you give up your home? I was adamant no I’m staying this is my stability I have nothing else and now when I’m in a calmer space and the transit has gone I’m just like my goodness yeah I need to come out of this space and I’m sorry house I do thank you for having me.

    but it’s time to move on. I don’t know how it’s going to happen and I suppose that’s life. I don’t know how tomorrow will happen.

    So transformation has been the key. I am a Scorpio and it’s all about identifying transformation in myself and working with you as you transform. I do not know how the Creator Network opportunity will work out. I know it’s easy to just walk away. I’ve given them an opportunity to really be clear as to if they’re expected me to just

    clamp down on my personality and my voice to promote their business. Let’s see. But what I do know is that right now it’s important that I connect with others and take them through transformation so that they can be visible. Providing time and space for visibility. Through even my short time

    work in this creator network training and so I’ve acknowledged that actually beyond any platform we need spaces where we can talk freely where we can connect freely no algorithm in place just pure connection transformation visibility once we’re able to do our inner work we are then in a place and space to create channels so that

    brands, partnerships, collaboration can take place.

    I’ve learned there’s a difference between partnership and collaboration. One can collaborate with others without a contract in place. One can have a partnership with a contract and feel very alone in that partnership.

    Collaboration is key.

    I’m doing the work within myself and I know the universe is as such to guide those that need it to me. Transformation is the focus and I have been working on some websites yet again to bring my ecosystem together, regardless as to whether I’m on social media or not.

    There is a space now where others can connect with me and I am focused on supporting creators. I love that term creators. You do not need to be on social media to connect. We are all creators, right? We’re creating this life that we’re living. We can come together. We can look at our life story and transform through our life story and through that story, tap in.

    to be a light onto ourselves and everyone else.

    It’s hard at times.

    The idea really is that we need to go through that hard in order to appreciate the next step. And I am hopeful that the next step, the next chapter will be a beautiful one. I’m still in transition. This is a transition into my fifties. I never knew my life would be like this. Second home, second mortgage. Definitely not what I had in mind.

    Yeah, but it is what it is right. So you have been listening to Leta, Goddess of Growth and I’d love it if you could tap in to this podcast. To support me I do have some links at the bottom of the podcast that you can tap into. I have been using London or

    for a number of months now in fact I became an ambassador I’m still an ambassador for them so there is some kind of referral link where you can save a bit and treat yourself I will say again when I started taking the adaptogenic coffee I was on or trying to give up a 10 cup a day habits coffee and tea majority coffee with milk

    sugar. Let me tell you about almost a fortnight ago something happened I cannot remember what exactly I chose to have a coffee the old coffee with milk and I put sugar I put sugar because it tasted really sour so I put sugar and the thing was so disgusting

    I found I cannot drink my old coffee which used to taste the best, like the best coffee in the world to me. I can’t drink it anymore. I can’t drink the milk with the sh… I… it was disgusting. At the moment I drink London Atropics Black. I went down to two cups a day. I’ve now gone to one cup a day. Sometimes just half a cup. Sometimes half a cup in the morning is enough. And I must say, I’ve started putting half a cup in the fridge.

    it doesn’t taste that nice. reheat it and it doesn’t taste that nice so it’s kind of like if you’re not drinking the whole lot just just discard it. So I thought it was just me but I was rereading some material from them only this week talking about synergies and apparently quite a few people have been able to reduce their coffee intake. The coffee is so good you’ll get so much in it because they put adaptogens.

    that you really just want the one. You don’t need it. You don’t crave it.

    And there has been some mornings that I haven’t had it. I was raised as a child to always have a hot drink in the morning, but I’ve woken up and just not wanted it, just not fancied it.

    I don’t know if that’s the great marketing tool for it because obviously brands tend to want you to commit to buying and drinking their brands for life right? I think it is a brand that I could really have for life and just have it once in a while. It’s not an addiction which is a good thing I think.

    Yeah, there are some other links on the podcast as well. My focus is on wellness. I’ve really let myself go over the last couple of years. I was doing really well in hindsight around 23, 24. I used to walk every day three, four hours a day and so then I got a few injuries because I walked too much.

    And you know how life happens, right? It’s like self-sabotage. Then before you know it, life happened and I ended up just being in the house most days of the week.

    So yeah, I go back to the, I do need to work out how I will be manifesting a new space because I missed the ability which I had when I was in my apartment to leave home in the night and then just walk and walk and walk. It was light enough for me to do that. Where I’m living, it’s a village and when it gets dark, it doesn’t feel comfortable to me to walk on my own.

    Now mind you I do know that there are people that run in the very early hours I’ve been told, two o’clock and four o’clock in the morning. That’s just not me. So yeah, transformation is the theme of this podcast. Are you going through it yourself? What support are you getting at this time? We’re learning if you don’t know someone’s season.

    It can be quite difficult to guide someone through whichever transit they’re going through, whichever change or transformation and often the transformation that we’re going through we cannot see it on the surface. I had no idea what I was being molded to, what was being stripped back and I’m telling you so much has been stripped away, so many illusions. I’m sure because of my nature

    I’m still seeing illusions, but I must say as of today I’m asking more questions. I’m seeing a lot more that not everything I’d necessarily want to see. I’ve really had to cut back and decide where my energy is best placed. You know some of those arguments where regardless of what you do it’s going to still get the same result, so it kind of doesn’t matter.

    what the reasons or solutions are it’s like this is the result so let’s just get to it that’s where i am now time and season and that’s what i will be looking into in the next podcast i’ve addressed it briefly before but this transit that i’ve been in i’m telling you it really took it out of me energy it took it out of me

    Has it made me ⁓ reluctant to make decisions?

    maybe the decision making process has changed it’s more based on intuition even if i cannot see it cannot prove it it’s really a case of okay so how does this feel to you right now

    And that’s the lesson.

    So do join me, I will be back again and we’ll be talking through our season. Thank you for being here. You’ve been listening to Leta, Goddess of Growth.

    Archive Note & Disclaimer: When I recorded this in August 2025, I attributed my experiences to a Pluto Square Pluto transit. Upon deeper reflection and alignment in 2026, I recognise that the energy was actually a profound Uranus and Pluto disruption. This explains the sudden “explosive” urge for freedom and the systemic “push-pull” I felt during this time.

    I am checking in at end of a very long, very heavy transit. From late 2022 until July 2025, I have been within a grip that scoured my foundations. I spent these years fighting against disappearing finances and vanishing connections, driven by one singular focus: I must not lose my home.

    Now that peak of that energy has passed, I am in “cleanup” mode. Ironically, house I fought so hard to keep is now space I feel a sudden, Uranian urge to leave. I am learning that stability is not just a roof; it is freedom to breathe.

    Lessons from the Disruption: Key Messages & Chapters

    • [00:01] The Fatigue of Fight: I acknowledge physical aging and soul-weariness of last few years. I have survived, but I am mourning dreams that disappeared in process.
    • [10:00] Stability as Shield: I reflect on history—from leaving home at 17 to purchasing my first apartment. My home has been my sanctuary, but I am now questioning if it has become a container I have outgrown.
    • [20:00] Clamped Voices & TikTok Realities: I share experience with “multi-account flags” and suppressed reach. Even as I became Creator Network Manager, I felt the push-pull of an entity that wants my labour but limits my authentic expression.
    • [35:00] Training Ground for Power: I realise that mother-daughter relationship was training ground for these dynamics. I see cycle of “push-pull” and I am finally choosing to unsee illusions.
    • [45:00] Manifestation and Revaluation: I look back at how I manifested this home during pandemic. I am thankful I didn’t lose it, but I am now listening to inner voice which says: it is time for movement and freedom.
    • [55:00] Synergies of Wellness: I discuss shift away from 10-cup-a-day caffeine habit toward adaptogens. My body is telling me that energy and environment must change together.

    My Core Truth

    “Greatest power comes from understanding that we do not know what happens in next breath. I worked hard to avoid this struggle, only to find that struggle was the moulding. I am now focused on relationship building and creating safe spaces where visibility is okay and voice is not clamped.”

    Redefining Failure

    Redefining Failure: Why Falling is Essential for Growth

    Welcome back to Empowerment Diaries®. Today, Lita, Goddess of Growth, explores a fundamental shift in mindset: Redefining Failure. We often view stumbling as a sign to stop, but what if falling is actually proof of bravery and ambition?

    Join Lita, Goddess of Growth, for Empowerment Diaries® as she explores why redefining failure is essential for success, growth, and personal transformation.

    Is Failure Just Preparation?

    When a baby learns to walk, nobody suggests child has failed because they fell. We understand those wobbles are necessary. Why, then, do we judge ourselves so harshly in adulthood? Redefining Failure means seeing every “stop and start” as part of a bigger picture. Faith doesn’t just bring good times; faith is understanding that every experience—including those that feel like setbacks—serves a purpose.

    The Soil Phase of Success

    Sometimes, life requires us to sit in “the soil.” To onlookers, being hidden away might look like lack of progress. However, Redefining Failure allows us to see this time as vital preparation. Just as seeds need darkness to germinate, our dreams often require quiet periods of “soil time” before they are ready to reach light.

    “Can we see failure as a necessary opportunity for redirection, preparation, or just proof that we are brave enough to try?” — Lita, Goddess of Growth

    Audacity to Dream

    Having audacity to dream is a success in itself. Whether it is a marriage that ended or a business pivot, these moments often open doors we never anticipated. By Redefining Failure, we stop seeing it as the opposite of success and start seeing it as a vital ingredient for it.

    Lita wants to hear from you. What was your greatest “failure,” and what doors did it eventually open? Come and connect at Goddess of Growth to share your journey.

    Listen to the short podcast below

    The above is from my 2025 archives.

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:00)
    Welcome back to the Empowerment Diaries, a short podcast.

    I’ve talked about the season, what about your idea of failure? We’re talking about faith, understanding that good and bad times is all part of the picture.

    Faith doesn’t override our life. Faith doesn’t bring just good. It’s everything all included. Faith to me is understanding that everything that is going on is part of the bigger picture. So is it now time to rewrite our ideas and our understanding of failure?

    When we see a baby learn to walk, we do not say to the child, the baby, well you failed for not walking, though I must admit I was a late walker. I’ve been told many a time that it was my sister almost a year younger than I that taught me how to walk.

    But that didn’t stop me from learning to walk, did it? We need to start having conversations about failure. What does it mean for us? Is it okay to fail? It should be, right?

    runners don’t learn how to run or sprint overnight there’s a few stops and starts lots of things that we do we have to learn how to do it through falls is time is it not to look at failure as a necessary part of life

    and often it’s our fear of failing that prevents us from doing new things so that we can experience the very growth that we’re here to have in this lifetime, to experience in this lifetime.

    I would love to have a conversation on here about failure. What does that mean to you? How many times have you failed to get to the successful space that you are into at this moment right now?

    Can we now see failure as the necessary opportunity for maybe redirection, preparation or just proof that we are brave enough to try, inspired, ambitious enough. For many a year in my childhood I would hear that I have no ambition and

    I see myself as someone that doesn’t really have ambition I have dreams. Now I do believe it’s possible for many of my dreams to come true and I will say there are some dreams that now will never come true so yes one would say I have failed at those but even to have the

    gall, the balls, the audacity to even dream of it being possible. Well kudos to you and to I, to me in doing that too.

    I have had been on quite a journey.

    and there’s many a time I thought wow this is my break this is the time when I’m here to finally succeed only to fall right back down on my backside to learn that no this is not the time of any great elevation this is just life as it is.

    so many lessons and I am in the season as much as I am now here talking and using this podcast to connect and express there are some things that we’re learning and I’m learning very late in life one needs to take some time to allow to be in the soil and just let it just do what it needs to do in the soil until it’s ready to come into the light.

    and on the surface that can look like failure but I’m also more confident when I’m making decisions and decided to just leave things in the soil I’m more confident to just get on with it without explaining it there is no need for the explanation now

    failure is it the opposite of success or is it part of the journey to success do you think without failure we cannot succeed right unless you’re someone that immediately gets it right isn’t it part of success failure let me hear

    your greatest failure and I’d love to hear your reflection as to what it opened for you. We’ll talk about the not so important my second marriage which wasn’t a marriage but you know in getting married it opened so many doors to include purchasing the property that I’m in now.

    mindset change. so what is it that you’ve been doing that maybe you’re failing at now or have done in the past that you now realize okay yes i’m failing at it but what is life telling me what doors are closing what doors are opening

    denial take it as a blessing right you’ve been listening to Lita goddess of growth today I do thank you do come in and communicate and connect have a good one

    Summary

    In this episode of the Empowerment Diaries, Lita, the Goddess of Growth, explores the concept of failure as an integral part of personal development and growth. She discusses how embracing failure can lead to new opportunities, redirection, and preparation for future success. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Lita encourages listeners to view failure not as a setback but as a necessary step in the journey to success.

    Trusting the Process: Finding Blessings in Every Detour

    Welcome to Empowerment Diaries®. I am Lita, Goddess of Growth, and today I am sharing a personal journey regarding a recent trip to London for dental surgery. This experience became a profound lesson in Trusting the Process, even when logic suggests everything is going wrong.

    Lita, Goddess of Growth, shares a powerful journey of navigating London strikes, dental surgery, and financial hurdles while Trusting the Process of divine timing.

    Navigating Midst of Chaos

    Between train strikes, bus delays, and strict new 20mph speed limits, my journey to get a tooth extracted was fraught with potential disaster. Living on a limited budget means every delay carries a financial weight, creating a sense of hyper-vigilance. However, Trusting the Process requires us to move beyond fear and listen to inner prompts.

    Every Disappointment Covers a Blessing

    After missing my scheduled coach home due to traffic, I felt a moment of frustration. Yet, by Trusting the Process, I accepted a seat on a different coach heading to Bridgwater instead of Glastonbury. This detour turned out to be exactly what was required.

    • Divine Alignment: Arriving in Bridgwater allowed me access to a supermarket that was still open—the only way to secure soft foods needed for post-surgery healing.
    • Unexpected Support: From kind bus drivers to an incredibly accommodating taxi service, support appeared exactly when needed.
    • Hindsight Wisdom: What looked like failure (missing a coach) was actually a redirection toward better resources.

    “Everything is working in our favour, even though it might not look like it in the moment. It is all part of a divine plan.” — Lita, Goddess of Growth

    Listening to Your Season

    I am currently holding off on astrology readings to focus on one-on-one consultations. Success isn’t about arbitrary goal setting; it is about understanding your current season. Whether you are in “soil time” or navigating a stressful transition, I am here to support your journey.

    Trusting the Process means knowing that even when resources are low, you are being looked after. I felt so much gratitude eating simple yogurt that night, knowing I was exactly where I was meant to be.

    How has a recent “detour” in your life turned into a blessing? Connect with Goddess of Growth below and share your story of transformation.

    Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:01)
    Lita, goddess of growth here. I’m going to share a story with you about my trip to London this week to get my very first tooth extracted. Last year, poverty hit. I had to find an NHS dentist. I’ve not had a NHS dentist for a long while.

    Years ago I used to work for a health insurance company and I had dental insurance and I was able to go privately and get my payment subsidised.

    When I left that company I continued the private practice because I quite liked them. That was up until really 2020 when I decided to sell my apartment and get this home that I’m in now in Somerset. I was in Royal Tunbridge Wales at the time and I’m now in Somerset. So that’s the journey. When I came to Somerset that year my tooth that the private dentist worked on chipped.

    I was still in work so I found a local dentist. Apparently in this area there aren’t any NHS dentists at all, not even for children. When I got to the dentist they barely wanted to see me because of the Covid crisis that was going on the pandemic.

    I paid the fee to be seen and looked at only to be told well we’re not doing any kind of treatment right now your tooth looks fine go to Boots and get the temporary filling yeah I had to pay for that guidance I purchased the temporary filling which is still in my cabinet unopened actually X amount of years later and

    after the probably the first year or so I went back to the dentist the same one and

    a kind of patch was pulled on my tooth I thought permanent but it chipped away again not long after I sigh vowed just to let it go until I could raise some funds to find a dentist that I could be confident in. Well poverty struck 2022-2023 and it was last year finally 2024 that I decided I needed to find an NHS dentist because I was really worried that I was going to end up with

    some kind of root canal or so.

    I found the dentist and they didn’t have any appreciation at all in my opinion. So the fact that I was living on the poverty line, I was not able to claim benefits in full because I have a mortgage and so forth. So I had gone self-employed at that point and they did support me with self-employment. But the idea was that I had to earn a certain, I think they call it an income barrier. I don’t remember.

    I cannot remember the term of it. So I was self-employed but because I wasn’t earning enough for their measure they weren’t giving me money but I could go to see a NHS dentist so that was fine. I got to the dentist and it’s two appointments. So the first one they told me my tooth was fine they put a temporary filling on and told me to go back to return.

    I went again and they weren’t able to see me it was just another checkup but they told me that one of my teeth that I filled many years before, 10 years or so before, was apparently needed to be removed so they were going to refer me to a dental hospital. Fine. At the time I was told

    the dental hospital would be free I suppose because of my circumstances at the time but it wasn’t long before I managed to get myself some part-time work to supplement my income, my self-employed income, so I sat waiting for the referral. It took a year for my appointment to come and I called

    and or they called I called to confirm the details and at that time I was asked am I earning I said yes and they said well it’s going to cost you 75 pounds and I think 30 or 80 I was like wow when I joined the NHS last year they told me it would be free okay so my circumstances have changed and I need to pay fine so close to the time I booked the coach

    I arranged a taxi because I need a little bit of a escort, a drive from the village to Glastonbury.

    and I heard that there was a train strike, tube strike. Now I remember those from a child, I was born and raised in London, so I know what it is when there was a train strike. And London has so many straight roads, right? When you get to London, what I remember as a child, most of the stations you could literally walk them, the stops, you could literally walk them, they’re not far from each other at all. Depending on where you’re going, you could probably walk quite a distance to get to your location quite easily.

    but the tube makes things so much easier to get around. I had no idea a train strike was coming but by the time I found out my coat had already been booked plus it took me a year to get this appointment. Didn’t have the funds to go privately to get it removed so I wanted to keep the appointment in place to get this tooth removed. Booked the coat.

    The taxi driver told me he would be here to collect me at 6.40. He didn’t arrive until about 6.50. I live in a location that doesn’t have any like resources where you can get cash out or so. I needed to get him cashed I think because he was late he told me no don’t worry just pay me later etc. Got on the coach. We got to London probably

    30 minutes late. My appointment that I booked, I always ask for something later to allow myself time to shop around and take time. It was a really good thing that I had asked for the appointment time as I did because I found I barely made the appointment. In fact, I was 10 minutes late to the appointment due to having to take buses and being in traffic, but they were accommodating.

    I went and I got my tooth removed and that was an experience in itself. It was nothing as to what I was expecting, they were very kind and even till date I have not taken any pain relief also I haven’t had a need to do so so I’m really pleased with the experience actually they were really kind. ⁓ So I’m going to talk to you about the journey back.

    I went to visit my aunt who is in hospital and I thought I couldn’t go that long distance and not see her. I left and I was talking to one of the consultants on the way back and he suggested that I go to a tube station totally forgetting about the strike.

    I followed his guidance which turned out to be a blessing because it meant that I was able, even though I found that the train station was closed, I was able to go to a bus stop which was before the bus stop he was left at, so I had more of an opportunity to get on a seat, so that was one thing.

    Then I got to Paddington and when I got to Paddington the train staff, one of them said that the train to Hammersmith was working. I thought brilliant, let me go to that trains, you know the platform now. If anyone knows Paddington, there’s, it’s quite a big station, long walks.

    got to the platform, I was there 15 or so minutes at that point I was thinking something’s not right here I don’t know I just don’t know and just as I was thinking that someone came downstairs one of the staff she was smiling okay everyone there’s no more trains there’s no more trains I thought oh no now

    Just ⁓ to note I was aiming to get my coach from Hammersmith station that was leaving at 18.45. I’d given myself a two hour buffer to get back there knowing that there was a strike. So I left the station I felt I still had enough time but I was a bit harassed and I made my way to

    past St Mary’s Hospital and the bus stop. Now on the bus stop they had the number 27 bus, 7 bus and other buses and in the old days they created these guides as to how long the bus journey would be. So I decided on the number 27 would be the best bus for me. The first one came it was full.

    I had a little case with me, I thought I’m older now, I’m suffering with hormones, I can’t go on that bus, I’m really sorry, it’s only 12 minutes, I’ve got enough time, I’ll wait for the next bus to come, which is what I did. I was so hot, it rained quite a bit in London and I was happy to be there in short sleeves at this point.

    The bus arrived, I thought, brilliant, I will make it. I had a voucher that had been sent as a gift that I could use in &S. I had a whole plan that I was going to get butter and some items. I received the list because my tooth had been extracted. I received the list of soft foods that I should have.

    at least for the night etc whilst I was going through healing so I thought perfect I will get to Hammersmith in time to go to the eminence in Hammersmith and catch the coach. I was sitting on the bus and I was using Google to guide me as to where I was because unfortunately I was not able to get a seat that was facing the driver’s view.

    and I’m noticing on my app that it says I will be there in 15 minutes, you could walk in 8 minutes but in my periphery all I could see is the same location, I could not see any signs that I was close to Hammersmith and this was going on near 20 minutes.

    There was someone that sat next to me and as she was leaving she says, it looks as if you know you’re worried about getting somewhere. I said yeah I don’t understand. It says 15 minutes and eight minutes. I’ve been saying that for a while. I can see that we’re moving. I don’t understand what’s going on. She says where are you going to? I said I’m going to Hammersmith. She says oh dear that’s a long way away from here. I said it’s a long way. She says yes it’s going to be about 40 minutes. It’s 40 minutes. This was after…

    think it was after 5, must have been after 5 going on 6. Remember the coach was 6.45.

    Then I thought okay I should still make it I won’t be able to shop but at least I’ll get on the coach right and this journey is going on and I’m saying to myself no something’s not right. I finally managed to stand up took my case stood in the alleyway the aisle and when I stood up I noticed that there was hardly any traffic in front of the bus.

    and everything was like on a go slow.

    I’m looking at my clock and by this time it was about 6.30 and I could not see Hammersmith so I knew I had a real problem, a real issue so I went up to the driver finally what’s happening like I can see that the road is clear what’s going on how far are we from Hammersmith we’re only two stops away I’m thinking two stops doesn’t take long remember I grew up in London I said so I

    can I walk it from here to there like what’s going on he says no I wouldn’t advise you to walk it because you have to well he explained it I understood Harrisweath was closed but it was like a circular anyhow so I stood there waiting and the times going before I knew it was 40 640 I could not believe it in fact roll back the clock I had

    called the coach company but I was too late when I called they said their offices closed at five o’clock so I had no one to call the coach driver to say I was running late but in my mind I remembered that in the morning they were half hour late in fact we got there I think about five past 10 55 and we should have got to Hammersmith about 10 20 so we were a good time late which they apologized for

    and in my mind if they were late in the morning they would know people would be late in the evening allow us at least a 10-15 minute buffer that’s in my mind anyhow so I’m with this bus driver and he’s asking me questions that I’m finding a bit irritating right now because his his questions aren’t helping me get to the bus station in the time that I need to be there

    Bless him, he was really kind. In fact, we got to the bus station and I could see my coach company station. So I was like, at this point, thank you, thank you, thank you. And he told me, bless you, know, hope everything goes well, blah, blah, blah. He allowed me to get off before the stop he was supposed to put me off. And I rushed down to this coach company and saw the driver who is a friend of my mother’s.

    and I was like hi I’m so happy that you’ve waited thank you so much and my goodness I was really worried I was gonna miss it and he’s like ⁓ you have missed it it’s already gone it’s like what and a few expletives by the way he said yes they went five minutes ago

    I was like what am I going to do now? Now I will tell you I left home on a very very limited budget and the funny thing about it is I was speaking to my sister and I was saying everything should be fine if everything goes on time. If anything goes wrong then I’m in trouble.

    Anyhow long story short he told me I could go on his coach that he was driving which wasn’t going to Glastonbury it was going to Bridgewater and I said well how is that going to work so Bridgewater is half hour from where I live. I called the taxi driver he was so accommodating not a worry he will pick me up from Bridgewater etc.

    and at that point I had no time to go shopping or anything.

    and we were talking, the driver and I just outside there was a woman with him, she had her notepad and I could see my surname so evidently the driver had given my name as someone that hadn’t turned up for their seat and the coach driver explained to me that apparently they get penalised if they’re the stand too long by TfL noting of course TfL was striking that day.

    I was thankful another couple, same thing had happened to them so we all got onto this coach together and it’s interesting because I don’t know about this coach this is the first time I’m hearing about it. Before we got on I was telling him I really was supposed to get butter and a few things, yogurts and so so that I could have something to eat. I said I’ve had my tooth removed, says yes I can see that because I had the gauze in my mouth still.

    and he said not to worry I don’t promise but usually when we drive to Bridgewater there are times we can get there for 9.45 and it’s basically outside an ASDA and the ASDA should be open I said that’s amazing that would have given the driver for the taxi who was only expecting a five-minute journey to take me home from Glastonbury

    who now is leaving his home to meet me half hour of the journey to pick me up and then take me back. It was really kind of him to agree to do so. That would give me enough time to get a shop and be outside with him on time. So I had a voucher, a gift sent to me, love to shop. And with that, you can convert vouchers to…

    purchase gift vouchers from the store and I’m telling you financial times means that I am using all kinds of resources to shop at the moment and

    basically we managed to get to Bridgewater outside Asda for 950, 950. I wrote to the driver, the taxi driver to let him know I’m here, it’s 950 and just to let you know that I’m here and he messaged okay 10 minutes.

    I misread that thinking he was coming 10 minutes past 10 but it is what it is. Got into the store converted £10 from the voucher to get the ASDA voucher. By the time I got to the counter

    The counter said the my app said that the voucher would be delivered on the 17th. It was the 10th. So I had to use money I really didn’t have basically to pay for the goods. But. I received a message from the taxi driver. Where are you? This is about 10 o’clock or two minutes past 10.

    and at which point I realised he was already outside ASSA so I had to just pay up and get out of there. By the time I got into his car I received another message to tell me, your voucher is available now, it was too late then. But the blessing was that actually we got home, I got home, he was able to drop me outside and everything.

    and the journey was much faster by coach than it usually is going to Glastonbury plus I had food to eat I hadn’t actually eaten since before I left at seven o’clock that morning

    right up until i returned home after 10 that evening and i had the yogurts the bananas like the soft food i was guided to purchase i sat there and i was just so grateful so so grateful like so many blessings throughout the day many i suppose i haven’t really spoken about but yeah

    and I think that’s been the message really why I’ve decided that I need to hold off on astrology readings and all of that for the time being is that I need to be in more of a space where I can listen to my prompts listen to my prompts so that I can be able to tap into the next step even on the bus I had a feeling it wasn’t over

    I knew that the time had gone and the likelihood was that the coach has gone but I did not get into that space of thinking I’m not going to get home. I still had this thought I just needed to get to the platform and I would get home and I did get home and I will tell you this had I got on the coach to get to Glastonbury

    I would not have had the right food to eat that supported the fact that I had my tooth extracted because most of the shops were closed. The detour

    to Bridgewater meant that I could go into Asda the only shop open and I learned that apparently it’s open till 11 o’clock so this is now a new thing that I could do in the future if I travel to London just take that coach and just pay extra for a taxi so that I can get home with some shopping every disappointment covers a blessing they say and I experienced it it’s been it was I was so emotional at the end of it actually

    and now looking back I know that I was just being guided to just take it easy don’t rush take your time because everything was in time as I say I’ve had my tooth extracted I’ve not had any pain I forgot my pain relief at home

    because I was guided to take it and I forgot it, it came to my mind. When I got to London I wanted to get something from my aunt and I managed to pick up pain relief there. Till now the box remains unopened, I didn’t need it, still don’t need it. Trust and faith. And I’d love to be able to say that I…

    We’ll look at the many experiences, especially over the last couple of years and have more trust in the process. One day is good, one day not so good, but yeah, I’m okay, you’re okay. So now we’re taking time to listen to what life is telling us, not what we think.

    It may not look right on the surface but overall everything is going exactly to plan, the divine plan and working in our favour even though it might not look like it in the moment it’s all working in our favour.

    So I hope you got some kind of inspiration from the story and I suppose there’ll be things that you’ll get from it that, you know, everyone will get from it what they need to. I’ve shared the story a couple of times because I am in awe and I need to take myself out of the stories and put myself in it and congratulate myself.

    take pride in the fact that on many levels I listened. There were times in that process that I was getting frustrated and I wanted to push that bus along. I learned later, much later through the taxi driver actually, that the bus driver who I was saying was going on a go slow, it wasn’t him. Apparently this new directive with cars can only drive 20 miles per hour. I was bemused. I was on a bus and I could see

    crowds of cyclists passing buses and cars and so forth they were moving faster than the vehicles and there was a time I had said to him you know this journey should have taken I think 23 minutes like it’s nearly an hour what’s going on and he said for him to go faster he’ll need a police escort I thought he was being funny but it’s a good thing I kept my cool and I was just

    calm and I said just breathe and it’s really good that I didn’t bounce out because what it meant was he was in a space of wanting to assist me to get there as best as he could he didn’t have to let me out when he did but yeah

    Maybe I will get to a stage where when scenarios happen like that I can fully sit down and just trust and just not get concerned at all. Maybe that’s the next step of the journey. I am not there yet. And it’s nice when you look in hindsight to say you know it was all being looked out for you. was all… you didn’t have to worry you know.

    I think when, and one might say this is an excuse, but when your resources are low you’re more hyper vigilant because you know you cannot afford for things to go wrong because there’s a financial implication. And in missing the first coach, yes, I ended up paying more for a taxi. And in…

    not preparing a voucher or so for ASDA I ended up paying money from my card which wasn’t in the budget things like that but I’m learning I’m getting there I’m still in awe I’m still very thankful I’m still like wow and I’m telling you when I was eating my yogurt that night

    10th of September I was in so much awe the yogurt was one of the nicest things I’ve eaten so thankful so grateful so much kindness so much support taxi driver was very supportive everything you know so I hope this has been inspirational

    It’s my journey to London to get my tooth extracted and yeah trust in the process first.
