Hello Reader.
Last week was hard.
I was deeply tired, burned out, and standing at a place where I truly didn’t know what needed to give.
Part of me wanted to pull everything back and disappear for a while. And yet, as I gave myself permission to do just that, to simply be in the discomfort and unknown, a deeper awareness emerged . . . I was standing at a growth edge where hiding no longer fit.
I leaned in for shamanic support from trusted practitioners.
I spent time in nature.
I gave my house a good spring clearing (and cleaning).
I slowed down, and life started guiding me forward in soft, practical, and supportive ways.
And then, while walking with the girls, I came across a young owl. It sat and watched me . . . and I watched it . . . eye to eye and heart to heart.
It was one of those moments where time pauses and something far more ancient comes through . . . the message, potent and crystal clear.
Trust what you hear.
Trust what you see.
It is not time to hide, it is time to be ferocious.
Cultivate the courage to be seen in both expected and unexpected ways.
Later that day, I took a walk to a local waterfall. After our recent snowfall, the water rushed over the ledge with such fervor that simply standing next to it felt simultaneously awakening and cleansing.
As I turned to walk away, a hawk flew overhead carrying a snake in its mouth. I love snakes, and what came through for me wasn’t fear — it was a message about releasing dense energy, letting go of old emotional weight, and paying attention to what is ready to move out of the way.
In this week’s episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I share these experiences, the healing support I received when I felt bound and weighed down, and the deeper message that emerged through it all:
🎧 Owl Medicine, Waterfall Magic, and the Courage to Be Seen
Inside the episode, I explore:
- what happens when hiding no longer fits
- how the right support helps inner rise clearly to the surface
- the messages I received through the owl encounter
- and a simple embodied practice using the phrase:
“I have the courage to be seen.”

If you’ve been standing at an edge too — feeling tired, uncertain, or aware that something in you is ready to stop hiding — this episode may be a meaningful companion.
a soft message to close
May you trust what you see.
May you release what is too heavy to continue carrying.
And may you cultivate the courage to be seen in both expected and unexpected ways.
With love,
Lori
