The Universe Doesn't Give You What You Want Until You Do What You Need

Send Lita Goddess of Growth encouragement

From the darkest corners of childhood trauma to the unexpected lessons of an allotment garden gone wrong, this raw exploration of maternal relationships and self-discovery beautifully illustrates how our deepest wounds can become our greatest teachers.

At 50, Lita finds herself facing financial vulnerability that forces her to turn to her mother for help – reopening decades of unresolved trauma and revealing painful truths about their relationship. The devastating moment her mother admits her fondest memory is of Lita as a happy toddler becomes a catalyst for profound understanding: some people will never see us clearly, no matter how much we accomplish.

This deeply personal episode weaves together parallel stories of boundary violations – from a community allotment where Lita's wishes were repeatedly ignored to the childhood home where her voice was consistently dismissed. Through these painful mirrors, she discovers the liberation that comes from walking away from situations and relationships that no longer serve our highest good.

"I am now coming to the end of what has been a life of survival," Lita reflects, highlighting the pivotal realization that working ourselves to exhaustion in jobs that drain our spirit only perpetuates struggle. Her journey illustrates how aligning with our soul's purpose – even when it seems financially risky – often creates the very pathway to both inner peace and material stability.

Whether you're navigating difficult family dynamics, struggling to establish healthy boundaries, or seeking to transition from mere survival to genuine thriving, this episode offers hard-won wisdom and gentle encouragement. Through tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques and astrology, Lita demonstrates how we can process our pain while continuing to grow. Join her community of healing and transformation – where your story matters and your authentic self is waiting to be reclaimed.
