You Were Never Meant to Fit In
Your unique wiring isn’t something to fix — it’s the foundation of your spiritual success.
On a recent flight, I watched a film I hadn’t expected to move me so deeply — Temple Grandin.
Maybe you’ve seen it. Maybe you’ve never even heard of her. But Temple’s story stayed with me.
She didn’t speak until she was four.
Doctors urged her mother to institutionalize her.
Teachers didn’t know what to do with her.
The world told her she was broken.
But Temple saw the world in pictures. She felt life more intensely. And she refused to let other people’s discomfort define her path.
She went on to revolutionize not just one industry — but two.
First, by designing humane livestock handling systems.
And second, by changing the conversation around autism forever.
She once said:
“I am different, not less.” — Temple Grandin
And that sentence cracked something open in me.
Because here’s a truth I don’t often say aloud:
I’ve never struggled with the idea that I’m “enough.”
In fact, I’ve always known — sometimes even felt too much.
But the phrase I’ve wrestled with?
The one that still softens me when I say it?
“I belong.”
That’s what Temple’s story stirred in me — and maybe it stirs it in you, too.
The deep, quiet ache of wondering: Do I belong in this room? In this world? In this space where my brilliance doesn’t always look like everyone else’s?
If you’ve ever felt that too —
As a woman.
As a spiritual entrepreneur.
As someone who leads with heart and works with energy in a world obsessed with outcomes…
Then this is for you.
Thinking Differently Is a Superpower
Temple didn’t try to become like everyone else — she doubled down on what made her her. And that choice led her to create what no one else could.
That’s your invitation, too.
You don’t need to market like everyone else.
You don’t need to hustle like everyone else.
You don’t even need to sound like everyone else.
Your unique blend of intuition, energy, creativity, and empathy isn’t a liability — it’s your leadership. It’s your leverage. It’s your legacy in the making.
Spiritual women often feel “different” — and for good reason.
We think in waves, not straight lines.
We process energy as much as information.
And our business strategies are just as likely to be birthed in a dream or meditation as in a spreadsheet.
But too often, that gets dismissed.
Especially in the spiritual space — where many still reduce this work to “woo-woo,” mock what they don’t understand, or even fear what they can’t explain.
They don’t see the depth.
They don’t understand the discipline.
They don’t recognize the power behind the practices that look “unusual” on the outside but are often profoundly transformational within.
And yet, what they call “woo,” I call wisdom.
What they call “weird,” I call wiring.
And like Temple, you don’t need to justify it — you get to lead with it.
And the Lessons Don’t Stop There…
There were so many other profound lessons in Temple’s story — each one echoing something I see women like us face every day in the spiritual business space.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be diving deeper into each of these:
2. Beyond Inheritance: Rewriting Your Money Story
Why wealth without freedom isn’t true abundance — and how to unlearn what you were taught about money.
3. Systems for the Sensitive Soul

Why trusting yourself — especially when others don’t understand — is the most radical thing you can do.

You get to do it your way.
Because the way you’re wired is not a problem — it’s your portal to impact.
Temple said it best:
“The world needs all kinds of minds.” — Temple Grandin
And that includes yours.
You don’t just belong here — you’re building what’s next.
Keep shining in your difference — it’s where your magic lives.
