Healing The Performance Wound And Coming Home To Yourself
As we move into the second and final week of the massive energetic opportunity to let go of the things that have hidden your Divine Blueprint, so that you move into the next 9 year cycle with the DIVINE self, it is critical to look at one of the most distorted concepts of our time: the constant push in the collective telling you that you need to "be seen.”
Everywhere you look, you’re being told some variation of “be seen” you just need to
“Let yourself be fully seen.” “Stop hiding.”
It can sound empowering, and maybe even healing, like it’s the long-awaited medicine for the parts of you that have felt invisible your whole life. The little girl who was overlooked at the dinner table, the teenager who learned to be “easy” to keep the peace, the woman who became what everyone needed so that no one would leave. Those parts of you hear the phrase “being seen” and believe that “being seen” is a path home to yourself.
But underneath much of what is being sold as “being seen” is a very old lie disguised with pop psychology bs.
Because our current cultural narrative, not just online, not just in business, but in the larger spiritual and social atmosphere, is actually NOT teaching you how to be seen.
It is teaching you how to perform.
It is teaching you to mistake performance for presence and exposure for intimacy. It is teaching you that turning yourself into something consumable is the same as being truly seen…which is a dangerous portal to soul fragmentation.
There is a particular kind of ache that lives right in the center of your chest when you spent your entire life performing for love. You feel the tiredness that never quite leaves, the tension in your jaw, the way your shoulders inch a little higher every time you sense that someone is evaluating you, grading you, deciding whether you have done enough to be worthy of staying in the room. From the very beginning, the template is laid down:
Get a good grade and receive approval.
Clean your room and receive approval.
Share your toys and receive approval.
Hide your anger and receive approval.
Be easy, be helpful, be quiet, be impressive, be pretty, be polite, and receive approval
This is how your abandonment wound (virtually every single person carries this wound) is built into your body, not only through the dramatic exits, the divorces, the disappearances, the emotional absence of a mother or a father - or both - later mirrored in your marriage - but through the thousand tiny transactions where you learned as a child that connection must be earned and that love has conditions.
You did not imagine this.
As a child, you energetically read the nervous system of the adults around you with constant vigilance. When your mother or father’s face lit up only when you achieved something, you learned that achievement is the way to worth. When a parent softened only when you swallowed your truth, you learned that silence is the way to attachment. When a parent withdrew when you cried, raged, or expressed any inconvenient feeling, you learned that abandoning yourself is the price of not being abandoned by them.
This is where the performing begins.
By the time that little girl grows into a woman, your performance has become so woven into your identity that you have become a character. And, it is really hard to tell where the character stops and where your true soul begins. You have become the good student, the reliable daughter, the peacemaker, the perfectionist, the one who never makes it too hard for anyone to love her. You have been rewarded for these roles your entire life:
On the report card, in the family group chat, in the workplace, in your intimate relationships and in your friendships.
Then…you come across the modern-day pop psychology language of “being seen.”
Everywhere you turn you hear that you are “afraid of being seen” or that you are “hiding” and that your healing will come when you finally let yourself be fully seen. It sounds like liberation, it sounds like someone finally understands the ache of invisibility that has followed you since childhood, the ache of sitting at the dinner table with a lump in your throat, knowing something is wrong and having no one ask, the ache of standing at the edge of the room feeling like a ghost in your own family, the ache that leads to developing an eating disorder, an addiction to alcohol, or desperation to be with a man - any man - just to feel needed.
What no one says to the child inside of you is that in this culture, most of what is being sold as “being seen” is the exact same dynamic you grew up in. Once again, you are not being seen, you are not healing… you are once again being taught how to perform as a character.
The character might be the perfect mother who posts the staged photos with her children, smiling with that specific curated glow that implies presence even when the child spent the day tugging at a sleeve that was always half turned toward a screen.
The character might be the endlessly vulnerable woman who knows how to cry on cue, reveal on cue, confess on cue, always with just enough rawness to appear real and just enough control to stay palatable.
The character gets seen.
The character gets validated.
The character gets celebrated.
But the soul beneath the character grows more and more distant, and the abandonment wound deepens because this time it is not the parent who is abandoning the child, it is you - your adult self - abandoning your own essence in order to keep a lifetime of conditional love flowing.
While the praise and validation may be a hit of dopamine for a moment, your nervous system knows the difference between being truly seen and being consumed.
When you are being watched, there is a constant undercurrent of adjustment. The inner child scans the room for signs of rejection and you instinctively change your tone, your volume, your posture, your story. You let just enough of your pain or truth slip through to be perceived as brave, but not so much that you risk being too much. You show your messy living room or your puffy eyes or your acne, and you call it real, yet the energy underneath still says, “Choose me. Approve of me. Do not leave.”
When you are truly seen, the performative part of you is no longer necessary. There is no transaction, no subtle bargain that says, “If I show you this, you will give me that.” You are not auditioning for your place in someone’s life. You no longer need to negotiate your worthiness.
So when the current narrative tells you that your problem is that you are afraid of being seen, it completely misses the deeper reality. You have been “seen” your entire life…. as a performer.
What you have been starved of is the experience of being held as a person, as a soul. And moving into this next 9 year cycle, it is ESSENTIAL that you stop performing.
Freeing yourself from performing is the critical at this point in time. Those who choose to stay in the frequency of “character creation” will anchor in a LONG timeline of exhausting performance. They will be depleted, and their authentic self will be fully destroyed under the weight of the Luciferian agenda which is set up for women to DISAPPEAR.
Ironically, it will seem like more and more women are “visible” - but in reality - only their shadow characters will be performing while the fragmented soul pieces will be completely out of reach.
Freeing yourself from performing requires healing your abandonment and it begins the moment you allow yourself to admit that you are tired of playing the role. The moment you sit alone and pray to God that you do not want to spend the rest of your life auditioning for love, and you feel, in the stillness, a Presence that does not flinch, does not turn away, does not demand some kind of improvement before you can be accepted.
I have heard women - specifically in the online female entrepreneur spaces - say that what they curate for their feed on social media, what they stage and photoshoot for consumption, the story arc they present to the public - “is just business” - and the REAL FULLY EXPRESSED version of themselves lives off camera.
That’s a dangerous deception…because HOW YOU DO ANYTHING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING. If you are performing “for your business” - YOU ARE A PERFORMER. If you are performing for your in-laws - YOU ARE A PERFORMER. If you are a performative mother, showing up for the public moments, - YOU ARE A PERFORMER.
If you are a performer ANYWHERE - you are a PERFORMER everywhere. You cannot separate yourself from yourself. If you feel the need to perform in ANY environment, you are motivated by emptiness, a feeling of not being worthy of love, you are not self-validating and you do not know that YOU ARE LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY by God, and that God exists only to love you.
If you knew these truths no area of your life would be a performance.
True AUTHENTICITY starts here…in the presence of someone who does not shift when you perform better or worse, who does not light up more on your good days and dim on your hard days, someone who simply sees you, the child you were, the adult you are, the soul you will grow into, and loves you across all of it.
For me, as a spiritual teacher and mentor to women from all over the world, THAT is the container I provide. Being in my energy field is the stabilizing architecture of unconditional love. I truly love and SEE every soul GOD has led to my work.
From there, the work moves inward.
