Internal Authority: Moving Beyond Digital Dependency
Welcome to Empowerment Diaries®. I am Lita, Goddess of Growth, and today I am exploring the concept of Internal Authority. As I work toward full-time self-employment, I have realised that true independence requires more than just leaving a contract; it requires a conscious shift away from dependency on external systems—be they algorithms, astrology, or artificial intelligence.
Lita, Goddess Of Growth (00:00)
So hello there, this is Lita, Goddess of Growth and I’m in a reflective mood today. I have a number of items or topics I’d love to discuss and I’m just here thinking which way do I begin? So what I’d like to do is share a little bit of a story of my journey this week and experience but actually there’s something else I want to go over before I do that.
I had put up a post.
and I’d mentioned astrology in one of my sessions. I’m not an astrologer. I’ve read astrology for nearly 26 odd years now. I use it for myself, for self-reflection, tapping into the time and the season, but I in no way, shape or form am I an astrologer. And I’m always learning something new. So I had written up and did a podcast on my experience, but I realised I’d spoken about a transit
that was not right at all so I ended up deleting the podcast. Needless to say it was a reminder that I need to be mindful, making sure that I talk about what I fully understand, what I fully comprehend, doesn’t take away the experience that I was going through, I just mentioned the wrong transit. And that being said…
There is a development this week for my life. had found that I I’ve already moved away from the algorithms, not that I will never rejoin social media, but I’ve already removed myself from the algorithms whilst I continue to build my practice, build my business and take what I learned from social media and make it my own.
AI has also been a tool that I have gotten used to tap into, so I’m on a bit of a hiatus from using it at the moment. Yes, I will continue to use it on platforms like this for blogs and so forth, but I was getting a bit too dependent, I suppose, in asking it questions. So that I will be given a little bit of a break as I move forward, along with astrology.
for sure because I found with astrology it’s been very good at telling me shortfalls, down seasons, all of that was very right. ⁓ Being a cynic, the things that I didn’t like so much seem to be more true than the things that I liked but it’s my understanding they all balance each other out. My spirit has been saying to me for a while, listen to my spirit.
It was the same when I was on TikTok for a couple of years. I would go on and I’d have motivation and encouragement from others to keep going, keep going live, three hours, four hours. And as much as I was turning up, showing up, I was not progressing as I thought I would be able to or would have liked.
It took me a couple of years to understand and realise why. And in fact, no matter what I did at that time, there wasn’t going to be any level of progress that I wanted. I progressed in the end. This year, April, I was offered the role of creator network manager.
and I took it on, very excited about it and in getting access to Backstage I realised that actually all of this work I can do on my own without the need of Backstage at all.
there was a lot of changes going on in the platform, people were getting violated left, right and centre because of those changes, it wasn’t that they were doing anything wrong. I myself experienced one of my posts that was just giving directions on how to apply to the Creator Network and I still have the screenshot now and what they could do as creators if they didn’t want to join or could not join the Creator Network because I still have my coaching practice how they could apply and that particular
post received a violation. I queried it three times. On the third time I was told, well apparently I’m permanently banned.
Now I didn’t actually lose access to the account, I didn’t actually experience a full ban, I did raise it and apparently it was cleared but the violation remained and I made my decision at that point that I’d have to leave the post. So that’s my story on that and what I will say to you is dependency.
When we’re working towards independent self-employment, I mean, that is what I’m working towards full-time self-employment. At the moment, I’ve not been able to achieve it. I still rely on contract work, getting jobs, whatever it is really to pay my mortgage, my bills in between. So the vision for full-time self-employment has not gone away. I often work long days.
helping myself build my practice focusing on my online offering and astrology has been something I’ve been tapping into over the last few weeks because of frustration whereby things have not moved as fast as I would have liked and I can tell you astrology explains it all.
literally even to the point that over the last two weeks I lost visibility online because the websites that I had up probably three weeks ago I decided to restructure how I was doing things and in making that decision the service or the host that looks after my websites helped me to make some changes which meant that my websites were offline.
I basically merged a number of websites into one and that decision meant that there was no visibility.
and because I had a subdomain on my directory website that too went down which I only cottoned onto probably about a week or so after. Last week I was pushing again like when am I going to get access to the website remember I’m not on social media I have one account on Instagram which I do nothing on and Benneville but there is no interaction at this time.
and lo and behold Friday I had access to the hop directory I’m still to
get my energy together to start building a new website where I’m hoping to meet creators and small businesses to work with them, share my knowledge that I gained on social media so that they have a better start if they choose to join social media to progress their life’s livelihoods, their careers, their brand and so forth. So.
astrology has helped tapping into the time and the season however I have had a strong sense and urge that actually I need to really start listening to myself because far and beyond whatever I read I’m the one that’s living this life experience I know you can tell me this is X and Y and Z is going to happen but I know
how I am best placed to deal with a scenario. It’s just like I’ve mentioned the pandemic. The world, we had a pandemic, but we all had different experiences. I did not experience the loss that many did during that time, not in the same way. However, around that time, my sister,
was really unwell, she’s been unwell for a while but she was really unwell and my aunt was distant. A few family members distant and it’s only now I realised that many were having health issues. My aunt still with real challenges of her own till today.
So it wasn’t the pandemic or COVID that affected me. There were familial family issues, health issues that was keeping people separated and apart, which we’re still consolidating right now.
So this is where I am, there’s life changes. I’ll be putting AI aside for a season, a period. I’ve already disconnected my TikTok accounts for a season and I’m focusing on my career, self-employment and building foundations. So when the season comes to a close, I’m ready for the next step.
You are with Lita, goddess of growth. Do come in and join me.

The Lesson of the “Backstage”
In April 2025, I took on a role as a Creator Network Manager. While I was excited to gain access to the “backstage” of a major platform, the experience provided a vital realisation: I can do all of this work on my own. I do not need a third-party platform to facilitate the connections I am built to make.
When a simple instructional post on my account was met with a violation notice and a threatened ban, my decision was solidified. Relying on an entity that can suppress your voice at any moment is the opposite of sovereignty. I am taking what I learned from social media and making it my own through House of Sovren™.
Taking a Strategic Hiatus
To truly listen to my own spirit, I am stepping back from tools that have become crutches.
- Astrology: While I have used astrology for self-reflection for 26 years, I am taking a break from it. It is excellent at explaining “down seasons,” but I must be the one to live the experience and decide how to navigate it.
- AI and Technology: I am placing AI aside for a season. While it is a helpful tool for blogging, I want to avoid over-dependency and ensure my strategies come from a place of Internal Authority.
- Consolidated Presence: I have merged my various websites into one central hub. Although this caused a temporary loss of visibility, it was a necessary step to build a stronger, singular foundation for Goddess of Growth.
Building Real Foundations
My focus is now on my online offering and building a new website where I can meet creators and small businesses. I want to share the knowledge I gained “backstage” so others can have a better start on social media—if they choose to join it at all.
“Far and beyond whatever I read, I am the one living this life experience. I know how I am best placed to deal with a scenario.” — Lita, Goddess of Growth
Consolidating the Personal and Professional
We are all consolidating the changes of the last few years. Whether it is familial health challenges or career shifts, we must be ready for the next step. By disconnecting from the “noise” of algorithms and external predictions, I am ensuring that when the new season presents itself, I am fully aligned and ready.
Are you relying too heavily on external “experts” or systems to tell you how to run your life? I invite you to reclaim your Internal Authority. Connect with Goddess of Growth below and share how you are building your own foundation for independence.
