A Taste of What’s Under This Cloak
An authentic queerdo, that’s falling face forward on my journey as a mystic, sharing my story and wisdom so that you might only scrap your knee.
Welcome!
I often find myself paralyzed at the starting line. Staring at the blank canvas of possibilities wondering where to start. You’d think after the many times I’ve had to start over that I’d be pro, but here I sit, wishing I was already in the middle.
I have many topics rolling around in my mind, but introductions are an important part of the story that’s unfolding.
Over the years, I’ve been asked to share my experiences. I’ve often wonder why, it’s felt like “sheer, dumb luck”. Half the time I was just trying to survive the consequences of my own actions.
Fumbling through my emotions, worthiness, bipolar swings, and traumas, I searched for someone to save me.
Little did I know that the answers I’d been looking for were within me. (Mic-drop! Who saw that coming?)
I just had to be brave enough to start living my own story. After taking a hard look that the life I was living, I realized the thing I was missing was self-love. (Did you know you’re allowed to love yourself? I didn’t, but that’s a story for another time.)
My journey to self-love started with accepting the good and the bad characters of myself. Asking myself, are these characteristics truly me? Or were they part of a role I was playing for the benefit of others? (I’ve always been a great actor)
Yet, I couldn’t sperate my true self from the roles I’d been playing.
Slowly, I stripped away the layers of the pretender. (thanks in part to the song Pretender by AJR) I started to see glimpses of my authentic core. Then I showered compassion, grace, and love onto that authentic core. Watering it like a baby seed, just hoping it would bloom.
It did! Self-loved bloomed for the imperfect person who was healing deep wounds.
Still, I struggle at times to love myself, my choices, and my flaws but I’ve learned to love myself first. If someone even tries to dance in with toxic behavior, shut them down without second thought because I’m the only one that’s allowed to f*up my energy. ha
Which I do from time to time, because hey I’m human. (mostly)
Recently I put all my expectations on the universe to unfold abundance and direction. I threw it all out there with the attitude of “built it and they will come” just hoping something would stick and grow.
*crickets*
Overwhelmed and underpaid, I realized I needed to reel in a few lines. I was losing myself, my passion, and my intention chasing down algorithms and views. Oof
Which is all a long-winded way to introduce myself, my story and Uncloaked Authenticity. (Sometimes I must wonder down the rabbit hole to get my point across.)
Future Rabbit Holes…
Uncloaked Authenticity will explore the continuous raw healing spiral, while staying rooted to the true self. Even on the days when we’re the one that f*ed our energy.
We’ll also explore:
- The People Pleaser within (and why there is no shame in that)
- Cutting out toxic relationships (including family)
- The importance of taking accountability for yourself
- The duality that exists within us
- Trusting intuition to let go of doubt
- Owning your Sovereignty
- Witchy Wonders
- Millennials Musings
- Late in life queerness (the queer unfolding’s)
- Classes and Coaching I offer
- And more (once I figure out what they are)
You’ll get to meet the three energies that make up MacFinnian Aisling Fíodóir. (Oh, did I forget to say I’m non-binary, now you know!)
Feminine (Aisling), Masculine (MacFinnian) and from the Stars (Fíodóir).
I’m learning to weave them together, but they appreciate having their own time to shine. Each energy shows up differently depending on what is needed (and my mood). Which means my dyslexia, whimsy, and sassier side will probably show more. (and I’ll quote a lot of movies, songs, and books)
All and all, my intentions are for you to find some golden inspirations, funny musings, and reflections that offer comfort to you on your journey. (Hopefully with very few moments of ‘why was I dragged through that?’)
If you’ve made it this far, you’ll most likely enjoy it here. I appreciate you following me down this rabbit hole and I promise I won’t take you too far down. (probably)
Uncloaked Authenticity is a reader-supported publication, but I’ll post either way. If you think you’d enjoy my musings, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. THANK YOU!
Until next time,
Happy Healing!
