You know everybody comes into this life, you know, as innocent as can be a

fresh new being, you know, a human and as we grow

we start to form shells, you know, and these shells protect us,

you know, from hurt from others, from judgment, whatever it may be.

Some shells naturally just form, you know, some form because of direct experiences.

And we all have some type of shell that like we kind of want to crack, you may have social anxiety and you wish you could be more present your true self in a room full of people at an event

maybe you have a shell where expressing your love to those you care about is actually quite difficult.

There may be a shell over your creativity, eliminating beliefs in your ego holding you back from raw beautiful expression. Whatever it is, there is a shell that needs to be cracked.

I remember my first shell, it was definitely a social one. You know know I noticed how I wasn't able to like

fully feel myself in other environments and I would retreat into myself or you know

find the corner at the party or you know stick close to the friend that I know to protect myself

from having to be in an uncomfortable situation and as time goes those shells harden and get stronger

and sometimes you know you just got to know when it's time to crack it.

Crack that shell and I made that intention. I no longer want to have these experiences and I made my first dent in that shell. I started exercising

conversations with strangers more, diving deeper into myself to understand my power and

how to project it into the world, how to offer these unique traits and be loved for them.

And as time went on, I continue to put a crack into that shell

until it cracked enough and I could finally breathe. And this is one approach.

They're cracking our shells, you know, head on. And it's key to know when it's time to

approach it like that. But there's also another approach.

Sometimes you gotta just let the egg hatch. Spawn, be born by itself, you know, just like a child.

You can't force to crack all their shells as a parent you nurture you guide you
