You Don’t Owe Them Who You Used to Be

I 100% understand why Rihanna stopped doing music.
When you have a vision for yourself, something bigger than what people expect from you,
you have to follow that.
You have to live for you.
People still ask her, “Where’s the album?”
But what they’re really saying is:
“When are you going to give us what we want?”
That’s the trap.
Building your life around other people’s expectations instead of what your soul is quietly asking you to grow into.
And look at her now. She trusted her pivot and built an empire. Period.
She didn’t cling to what was familiar. She followed the next assignment, even when it was unknown.
I feel that deeply.
People ask me the same thing:
“You still doing music?”
“When’s the next project?”
And honestly? Music will always be in me.
But Goddess Vibrations? That’s the vision that's close to my heart.
Where I can combine all of my creativity in one space.
It’s the space I needed when I was healing and now it’s the space I build for other women.
To regulate. To reconnect. To remember themselves again.
As a Manifesting Generator, I pivot quickly.
That’s not flakiness, that’s my design.
When something’s complete, I don’t force it.
I shift focus and move forward because I know when it’s time to let go.
But the pivot comes with grief, too.
I used to feel guilty for growing, for not being who people remembered.
But I see now…
That guilt was just my old self clinging to her comfort zone.
And when you don’t fully trust your path, you start saying yes to things you already outgrew.
You end up five steps back. Tired, frustrated, and disconnected from yourself.
That’s why I called this first workshop Trust Yourself Again.
It’s not just about self-care.
It’s about spiritual integrity, honoring what’s real, not what’s familiar.
Even when what’s real feels uncomfortable.
Getting so grounded in your body, your nervous system, and your truth…
that when the pivot calls, you don’t second-guess it. You answer it.
So if you're in the middle of your own shift, this is your reminder:
You don’t owe anyone the version of you they remember.
You don’t owe anyone your former self.
When the pivot calls, trust it.
Not because it's easy.
But because it's you.
