“Whoa baby! (That's it. That's my story.) Just kidding.”

The most powerful epiphany was expanded awareness and being with an 8 year-old part of me that has been powerfully shaping my life from her understandable, yet outdated, fear of vulnerability and perceived community-inflicted wounds. Before [Make Space], I showed up in community responding to my stress triggers with stories of not belonging, freezing/dissociating, and flying away emotionally from myself and others. I popped into either/or being and quickly cut off from my birthright, inheritance, internal, external, and spiritual support systems. It helped me experience what I was hoping to experience, being my calling. Particularly by identifying and being curious with the parts that were procrastinating and flying away, i was able to transform those emotions and allocate their energy in a way that was healing and sustainable. Within days of being in conversation with these parts I took action around filing and paying for the paperwork I'd been scared of completing to legitimize/legalize my businesses. I also completed and submitted a proposal for work to a major corporation.

“The clarity that I received while doing the daily prompts in this challenge, and then then the validation of what I knew I was capable of doing during the group check-ins was incomparable!

Before the challenge I felt alone in life and my business. I didn't feel like people understand what I was trying to say relative to my business. Through the Make Space challenge I was able to articulate what I was feeling and translate that feeling into the work that I want to offer. My epiphany as my make spacers shared with me was that I came out of the dark and into the light :-) As a first-timer I was really impressed with the amount of content we covered in 7 days. I thought that it was a chill up close and personal introduction into the work that Ash does and offers enough space to determine how you wish to move forward in your life as well as in community with her. The challenge specifically highlights your point of view on how to create freedom by going deeper in order to manifest the things you really want.

“Make Space Challenge helped me focus my scattered my energy and clear distractions that were never helpful.”

There was a level of authenticity that my soul and body absolutely loved and needed through this challenge. It wasn't what I expected. This challenge wasn't about crossing out a to-do list and I needed that in order for me to go deeper into what I truly desired. I also didn't realize what I was even asking for lol! My whole world fell apart in a good way from this challenge..literally. I realized later this was because I wasn't giving myself permission to share what I deeply cared about. I wasn't allowing myself or making space to connect with my true desires because I was distracted more than I like to admit lol! This prompted me to have an honest conversation with myself about what I was saying yes to and investing my energy in. I feel like I am making space to devote myself to my mission in life. I've always struggled with this idea. But, it really put things into perspective and I am glad I committed to this challenge! The Make Space Challenge was an experience my soul needed and yearned for, and I didn’t even know it.
