Hey, it's your girl simply Shanika, and you are now listening to The Goddess Confessions.

Every woman wants to feel powerful, radiant, untouchable, but not every woman is willing to hold the standard that comes with being that woman. It goes deeper than aesthetics. It shows in how you treat yourself, how you move through life, and what you allow.

If you're elevating, you need a solid foundation and that starts with you.

You want to get to the next level, but your body's screaming for rest and nourishment.

Start there.

And while we're on the subject of respect, apply that same standard to the people around you.

If I don't respect you, I'm not sitting at a table with you. I'm not networking with you. I'm not

laughing at your jokes. I'm not doing energy exchanges with people who drain me or operate on ego.

Your circle should charge you up,

not compete with you, not copy you, not secretly envy you.

The right people add what you don't have and sharpen what you do.

Surround yourself with women who are lit up about their lives, who speak goals out loud, who show up for themselves and for you, iron sharpens iron, mediocrity dulls you out. And another thing, if you're

constantly plugged in, constantly performing, you'll never feel grounded. The real you is the one who wakes up in the

morning, breathes deep, pours a cup of tea, and knows what she stands for before opening the

apps. Presence is the real flex. When your aura is aligned, you don't chase, you attract. People feel you before they speak to you.

That's what magnetism is. But understand this. The more you rise, the more resistance you'll meet.

The brighter you shine, the more people will try to dim you.

It's not always hate.

Sometimes your presence just reveals what they're not ready to face in themselves,

and that's not yours to carry.

Stay solid.

Let them throw stones.
