I saw a post online today that said, “It is time to claim our sovereignty.” As someone who has done the work to do just that in so many aspects of my life, I felt compelled to share some steps on how one might do the same. It’s easy to say the time is now, harder to walk the path. My hope is that this share will give some embodied guidance, my hope that you will know you’re not alone. This is a key initiation into the New Earth frequency. My heart-felt prayer is that this share serves as a guidepost for you in your journey of remembering this frequency within.
The Choice Point
The key pieces that are important here are that we must be brave in confronting the stories, the patterns, and the ways in which our sovereignty has been taken from us. There are many layers to this, different categories of sovereignty that we can access. Two of the most challenging areas where I’ve found sovereignty have been in my love relationship and in my relationship with my community. The experiences I went through, which ultimately brought me to what I like to call “my choice point,” were incredibly difficult. It was not easy, but it began with a burning desire to understand and embody the frequency of sovereignty.
When I claimed this desire, I was given the opportunity, through intense challenges, to see where sovereignty was blocked within me. It was through these challenges, through these portals, that I arrived at the threshold of my own choice. Would I choose to stay small and limited in my personal power, or would I release the blocks that had been programmed through my lived experiences and rise into this frequency?
Right now, with everything that is coming out about our leaders, we are all being given the opportunity to deepen into collective sovereignty. And I am currently, alongside you, rising with the cosmos, with the collective wave, into claiming sovereignty in my relationship with the collective.
Sovereignty in Love and Partnership
When we step onto this path, we will be confronted with deep truths within ourselves. When I stood at the threshold of sovereignty in my love relationship, I learned through surrender how to hold my own energy and how to honor the energy of my beloved. Truthfully, this was challenging for me because I feared what my lover’s sovereignty might bring. I was afraid to give it to him. But I knew that holding him back was, in many ways, holding myself back. I had to deepen into trust, trust in the divine within me, trust in my own embodiment of sovereignty, and trust that offering this frequency to him was ultimately offering it to myself.
Sovereignty is an initiation. Initiations do not come easily. They are meant to purge us from the long-standing frequencies of familiarity, self-abandonment, and fear. It was terrifying to surrender to this initiation, but once I did, once I claimed this as my relational baseline, the level of depth and love that became possible for me, for us was profound.
Sovereignty in Community
Then, later, I had an equally challenging experience in claiming the core vibration of sovereignty within community. Being raised in a high-demand religious environment, I was deeply programmed to give away my power to those in positions of hierarchy and authority. When I left that community, I was, in truth, taking the first step on my initiatory path of claiming sovereignty within community. It was heartbreaking to step away, to feel like I no longer belonged. But the desire for inner liberation was so strong that I could not stay, even at the cost of belonging.
It was at this point that we sold all of our belongings and left Utah. I needed a reset, we all did. And I felt free, yet there was still a shadow living within me, a shadow that needed another opportunity to gain clarity and wisdom through the challenge of sovereignty in community.
These are the moments that shape us. These are the moments that define our uncompromising truths. I have always held a deep desire for aligned community, to be held in sincere, heart-open friendship. When we arrived in Colorado in the early months of 2024, one of our strongest intentions was to find deep friendships, to find a supportive and nourishing community.
And find it we did, or so we thought. We stepped into community here in Colorado and joined a group of people who were hosting frequent gatherings: potlucks, parties, intentional ceremonies, and shared spaces of connection.
It felt like the resonance of everything we desired, and we were filled with hope. But then, through a deep relational rupture with the self-appointed leader of this particular community, we were given the opportunity to either conform and align with their demands as the condition for staying, or be cast out. We were given the chance, once again, to stand in our truth and risk being excluded, risk being exiled.
I have walked a long path shaped by a deep desire for belonging, and this was a challenging crossroads to face. But because I understood the power of the choice point in claiming a frequency like this, I recognized almost immediately that the rupture, the control, and the force being applied to me were an invitation to claim my sovereignty within community. And so I walked away. I left behind my hopes for friendship, for shared meals, gatherings, and events. I left it all and surrendered to the path before me. And in doing so, I thanked the Divine for the awareness that this, too, was the gift of sovereignty in community. I got to claim it. I got to claim my desire for inner liberation, for freedom, for self-expression, for equality, through my choice to not play small. I was standing in the face of one of my deepest desires, that of belonging in community but at the cost of my personal truths. So I made a choice. I chose to release my attachment to this deep longing of my heart in favor of my personal freedom.
This alienated me for a time and resulted in deep sadness and confusion as well. All the while, I understood the lesson, but that did not mean it felt good. And now, slowly and surely, I am building the exact kind of heart-centered friendships that are in alignment with my sovereignty. The path is lonely until it’s not. This I know, this I have lived.
In your quest to claim your sovereignty, you too will be challenged. There will be stories, people, experiences, and conversations that feel as though they might break you. The power comes when you recognize that these moments are invitations into a greater level of leadership and embodiment. Everything can be taken away from us at any moment, but sovereignty is an inner freedom that cannot be taken once it is truly claimed.
The movie Braveheart captures this when William Wallace says, “They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom.” Freedom is an internal knowing. Freedom is the frequency of sovereignty in every relationship. Sovereignty is not hierarchical. Sovereignty is knowing that we hold the full power of choice within us, that we are connected to the Divine, that we can be vessels of love and truth, and that the best versions of ourselves are not above or beneath another, but beside them: in purpose, in presence, and in embodied gnosis.
