Quiz Outcomes

1.
You’re The Sacred Maker
Image Source
Your core pattern: Perfectionism as protectionYou pause. You tweak. You second-guess. You wait.Not because you don’t know what you want —but because your body’s learned to associate expression, action, or being seen with pressure… and risk.Over time, your worth got linked to flawless execution.✨ What’s really going onYou are someone who honours the sacred in everything you do. You want your work to feel real, intentional, true. But somewhere along the way, sacred turned into “should.”You hold back — not because you don’t know enough… but because your body says:“If I show up wrong, I’ll be seen. I’ll disappoint them and they’ll finally see I’m not enough.”So you wait. You rehearse. You over-prepare. All while your deepest truth stays trapped in a loop of “almost ready.”🪞 Why it shows upThis isn’t procrastination. It’s protection.Your nervous system is guarding something precious: Your deep desire to be seen as wise, capable, clear.You’ve probably said: - “I just need to organise my thoughts first…” - “It’s not the right time yet — I want it to land properly.” - “I’m so close — I just need to fix a few things.”But underneath that? A scared little voice whispering…“Don’t move. Don’t risk being wrong. They’ll think you’re not smart enough.”That voice isn’t telling the truth — but it has been trying to keep you safe.🧠 Let’s name itYou’ve been trying to earn your readiness by chasing the “perfect” plan. But readiness doesn’t come from having it all figured out.It comes from choosing to act… even while your voice still shakes.The Sacred Maker pattern says: “You’ll feel safe once it’s perfect.” But the truth is: You’ll feel free once you give yourself permission to take the leap— even if it’s imperfect.🌅 PossibilityWhat if your visibility didn’t require polish… only presence?What if sharing your truth imperfectly… was the most sacred thing you could do?Imagine hitting “post” without over-editingTrusting your felt sense more than your fearLetting yourself be real — and feeling safe in that realness.Your presence doesn’t need proof. Who you are doesn’t need polishing.🔧 IntegrationBring to mind something you’ve been rehearsing, refining, or rewriting. Ask: “What am I actually afraid will happen if I trust what I already know?”Most of the time, it isn’t about the info at all — it’s about the fear of being wrong, looking foolish, or being judged. This is the perfection-pattern talking.Challenge this pattern — not with force, but with presence.When that old urgency rises… pause.📍Ask: “What part of me believes I need to do more in order to feel enough?”Let yourself notice the tension without rushing to fix it. Breathe into the space that wants to grip. And remind yourself — not to override it, but to root deeper in this:“I don’t need to prove my worth by doing more. I am worthy just as I am.”🌱 Ready to break the pattern?You don’t need another plan.You need a new experience — one that helps you trust yourself, take action, and stop second-guessing.👇 Here’s how we can begin:🔹 Cycle-Breaker (90 minutes) A focused session to clear the noise, reconnect with what’s true for you, and take your next step Book your Cycle-Breaker intensive here.Not quite sure yet?

🔥 You’re The Soul Communicator
Image Source
Your core pattern: People-pleasing as protectionYou’ve always been good at reading the room — maybe too good.And now, you can’t unhear the voices in your head every time you try to express what you really want to say.✨ What’s really going onYou’re deeply perceptive, emotionally intelligent, and sensitive to others’ needs. But that gift became a mask:To stay safe, you learned to edit yourself. To fit in. To keep the peace. To be liked.Somewhere along the way, you began to confuse:- Peace with self-silencing- Belonging with boundary-blurring- Stillness with shrinkingYou’ve kept yourself small — not because you don’t know who you are, but because you’ve been afraid they won’t like the real you.🪞 Why it shows upMaybe you were told you were “too much.” Maybe you weren’t understood the first time you really shared. Or maybe no one ever asked what you really thought.So now, every time you try to speak, post, or express something true… You second-guess it. You over-edit. You run it through every possible reaction.That fear isn’t irrational. It’s historical.But you’re ready to let go of a life built around other people’s comfort.🧠 Your patternThis is the Soul Communicator loop:“I want to share who I really am, but only if it’s ok to do so.”But safety doesn’t come from controlling how others receive you. It comes from your own ability to stay with yourself — even if others don’t get it.The truth is: your voice is here to resonate, not to please.🌅 PossibilityWhat if your power isn’t in how much you share — but in how real it is when you do?What if connection didn’t require you to shrink?What if the version of you you’ve been hiding… is the one that magnetizes the right people?Imagine sharing without spiralingHolding your voice with confidenceFeeling safe in who you are, even if it’s not “perfect”You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to be different. You’re allowed to be you.🔧 IntegrationBring to mind a moment where you held back who you are.Not because you didn’t know what to say — but because some part of you questioned if it was safe to say it.📍Ask: “What feels at risk if I’m fully seen or fully who I am here?”Let the answer rise without judgment.Then pause and feel for what's coming up.Is the fear real now — or is it an old reflex trying to keep you protected?Notice how your body feels.And remind that younger part of you:“I can be myself and safe at the same time, even when others don't get me.”🌱 Ready to break the pattern?You don’t need another strategy. You need nervous-system permission to own who you are.👇 Here’s how we can begin:🔹 Cycle-Breaker (90 minutes) A high-focused session to reconnect to who you are, shift the pleasing pattern, and express yourself with peace and clarity.

You’re The Inner Strategist
Image Source
Your core pattern: Overthinking as self-protectionIt’s not that you don’t know what you want —It’s that you’ve learned to hesitate long enough to protect yourself from getting it wrong.✨ What’s really going onYou’re the one with the insight, the wisdom, the map. You see angles others miss. You think deeply and brilliantly.But somewhere along the way, thinking turned into looping. You started chasing clarity like a finish line.“I just need to make sure…” “I’ll feel ready once I figure out…” “If I can get it all mapped out, then I’ll act.”Sound familiar? You’re not scattered — you’re searching for a sense of control.🪞 Why it shows upYou’ve been burned by taking action. So now, your nervous system braces at the edge of action.It’s safer to overthink than to risk being wrong. Safer to wait than to move and face what might not go to plan.But your clarity is not the problem. It’s your nervous system’s belief that clarity equals safety.You don’t need more logic. You need to feel safe in motion.🧠 Your patternLet’s name it: You’re running a pattern that says: “Being right = being safe.” “Being prepared = being worthy.”This part of you is strategic, brilliant — but exhausted. Because clarity never arrives fast enough to satisfy your fear.What you’re really longing for isn’t answers. It’s peace.And that only comes when you trust yourself — not just your plan.🌅 PossibilityWhat if you didn’t have to map it all out?What if your next decision didn’t need to be right — only aligned?What if peace came from presence, not prediction?Imagine trusting your gut — even when logic says waitLetting things be “in process” without spiralingActing from your body, not your spreadsheetYou’re not here to overanalyse your way to freedom. You’re here to feel your way forward.🔧 IntegrationBring to mind something you’ve been mentally spiralling on. Ask: “What am I actually afraid will happen if I trust what I already know?”Then feel into your body: What does "being wrong" feel like? Is it fear? Shame? A tight chest? A racing body?This is your nervous system talking. Can you challenge your habit with: “I don’t need to have all the answers to take one aligned step.”Feel into this: “The plan doesn’t create peace. Trusting myself does.”🌱 Ready to break the pattern?You don’t need a better plan. You need to believe you can trust what you already know.👇 Here’s how we can begin:🔹 Cycle-Breaker Intensive (90 minutes) A high-frequency session to cut through the mental looping, feel into what’s true, and finally make the decision that’s already inside you.

You’re The Deep Knower
Image Source
Your core pattern: Self-doubt as safetyYou don’t feel stuck because you don’t know who you are. You feel stuck because your nervous system is still wired to fear what happens if you truly let yourself be known.✨ What’s really going onYou’ve always been someone who feels the world deeply. Who sees the truth beneath the noise. Who holds a quiet, intuitive knowing that others often miss.At some point, you started questioning what you felt deep down. Not because it wasn’t true — but because being sensitive didn’t feel safe.Your gifts weren’t mirrored. And the world made you feel like you had to be someone you weren’t.So now? You second-guess. You spiral. You look for someone else to validate what you already feel.Not because you don’t know — but because you learned that knowing wasn’t enough.🪞 Why it shows upYou’ve probably said:“I keep changing my mind.”“It doesn’t feel clear yet — I don’t want to get it wrong.”"I need someone else's opinion."But if you look deeper… You’ll see the pattern underneath:The fear of being wrong. The fear of being exposed. The fear of being misunderstood.So you stay quiet. Even when the truth is screaming in your bones.🧠 Let’s name itThis isn’t just mindset — it’s a nervous system imprint.At some point, you learned that sharing who you really are wasn’t safe. So you dimmed it.Or reshaped it to fit what others could accept. Or shared it too soon, hoping someone else would help you trust it.That created a feedback loop:Truth → fear → freeze → doubt → more searching → more silence🌅 PossibilityWhat if you didn’t need more time to be ready? What if you just needed a body that felt safe being seen?Because here’s the truth: You already know what you want. You already know what’s right for you. You’re not waiting for clarity. You’re waiting for permission.And that permission? Starts inside your own body.🔧 IntegrationNext time you hesitate, ask: “What if I trusted what I already know?”Then pause and feel into:The fear/tightness/heaviness that shows up at the thought of putting yourself out there - as is.What story rushes in?Now feel into this: "I don’t need to earn clarity — I just need to trust what’s already here"🌱 Ready to break the pattern?You don’t need another perspective. Just permission to trust your own.👇 Here are some options:🔹 Cycle-Breaker Intensive (90 minutes) Designed to quiet the noise and help you trust what’s always been true — no more outsourcing. Book your cycle-breaker intensive here. Not quite sure yet? If you’re feeling curious but want to meet me first, you’re welcome to reply to your results email — I’m happy to chat or send a voice note your way.🔹 3-Month Coaching: For those who are ready to break the doubt cycle and lead with calm, embodied certainty.

You’re The Inner Alchemist
Image Source
Your core pattern: Seeking as protectionYou don’t feel lost because you lack vision. You feel lost because you’re seeking the next thing to finally make you whole.✨ What’s really happeningYou’re a seeker. You’re always learning, growing, integrating. You can see the pattern behind the pattern. But somewhere along the way, seeking became a shield.You started chasing safety through insight:“If I just understand this better…”“Maybe this teacher/program will help me feel clear.”“Once I decode this, I’ll be ready.”But readiness isn’t hiding in the next program. It’s waiting for you to trust what you already know.🪞 Why it shows upThis isn’t a lack of clarity. Your pattern is asking for permission to trust yourself.You’ve just confused depth with more input. You’ve forgotten you’re already the source.The loop of learning becomes a way to feel whole. Because if you can just find the right answer, the missing piece, the next key… maybe then you’ll finally feel complete.🧠 Naming itYour seeking is sacred — it’s how you’ve stayed safe, prepared, in control.And your system is asking for stillness — not more input.Not because the search was wrong… but because it’s time to stop circling and start remembering who you already are.🌅 PossibilityWhat if clarity wasn’t about finding the right answer — but trusting the resonance you already feel?What if your next level didn’t require more courses, more study, more searching… but a deeper relationship with your own energy?Imagine following the path that’s been whispering to you for months.Letting your body decide what’s next.Feeling grounded even when the future isn’t fully known.You don’t need to find the truth. You’ve always carried the truth — now it’s safe to trust it.🔧 IntegrationBring to mind the thing you’ve been circling —waiting for more insight, more proof, or more certainty.Ask: “What’s the deeper need beneath this seeking?”Then pause. Feel your body.What stirs in your chest, your belly, your throat?Is it urgency? Doubt? A fear of getting it wrong? A need to feel whole, enough, ok?Now remind yourself:"I don’t have to keep searching. I can trust what’s already here".👇 Here’s how we can begin:🔹 Cycle-Breaker Intensive (90 minutes) A session to cut through the noise, anchor your energy, and build clarity that doesn’t require more seeking.
