1. There is an invitation to evolve into my next level, in my pain and discomfort. It is an opportunity to lean into self-intimacy and vulnerability, and to deeply get to know and love myself. Avoidance of these feelings leads me farther from myself and my true essence.

2. Pain and discomfort have been a huge catalyst in my soul’s evolution and my bigger purpose in this world. I couldn’t work with women the way I do today, without all my personal and sometimes painful and uncomfortable experiences.

3. In the depths of my pain and discomfort l was able to acknowledge that no one was going to “save me”. I am fully and radically responsible for my life, the path forward, success or lack thereof, and actions.

4. We cannot avoid pain and discomfort, rather we can create a toolbox for how to navigate these feelings and care for ourselves when they show up because they will.

5. Emotions aren’t good or bad; they just are. Pain and discomfort show up to teach me something. I get to sit with these feelings and invite them in. When I do that, I get to know them, and I can fully enjoy and be present with the full range of human emotions.

Morgan Williams, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine

Morgan Williams wear many hats and titles; however, it is the work with her own personal healing journey, which led her to the path of coaching and energy work. Morgan was a professional educator for 16 years, while running a small business for the last five. She is a single mom, to the BEST kid around, and she found herself totally burnt out. Something had to change, and it started with coming back to herself. She found yoga and coaching during this time. She remembers vividly, sitting there, paralyzed with a broken heart, and realizing that if her relationship with herself was better, no one person, could hurt her that deeply. It was her wake-up call and self-love, and true self-care was the first step and a total game-changer in her journey.
