From "She" to "We": Embracing the Power of Sisterhood
For so long, Sacred Sister has been a reflection of me—my vision, my energy, my daily grind. I've been the one turning the cogs, pouring my heart and soul into this beautiful mission, often by myself. I've tried bringing others in along the way, but for one reason or another, it just never quite worked out. And truth be told, it’s been exhausting. The financial strain, the emotional weight - it has left me feeling "less than" in more ways than I can count.
But this journey - this sacred journey - has taught me so much about myself.
As I approach my 50th year, I find myself leaning more into the rhythms of nature, trusting in the cycles that mirror my own life. I’ve been exploring my human design as a Manifesting Generator and understanding my ADHD brain better than ever before. The beauty of it all? I’m finally getting to know myself in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Three weeks ago, I experienced what I can only describe as a cosmic nudge. I managed to lock myself out of our Sacred Sister Facebook page while rushing to add a new sister to help manage our socials. Not only did I shut myself out, but she couldn’t access it either. I tried every avenue to fix the situation, but nothing worked. While I could still post through our Instagram connection, I couldn’t make any necessary changes.
I was frustrated, tired, and a little disheartened. After more attempts to regain control and the kind advice of some other sisters, I came to a realisation - it was time to let it go. Maybe, just maybe, the universe was telling me to start fresh. And I was okay with that. Completely at peace with the idea of letting four years of hard work go if it meant making space for something new, I went to bed with a sense of calm acceptance.
And then, at exactly 3:33 a.m., I woke up.
After my usual trip to the loo, I glanced at my phone (which, was on charge in the kitchen - I broke the phone in the bedroom habit a long time ago!). A message was waiting for me from Lisa, one of the beautiful souls helping me from the other side of the world in Australia. "I’m in… and you should be able to access it too."
In that quiet, still moment, I grabbed my laptop, followed her instructions, and like magic, I was back in. After weeks of struggle, everything fell back into place. The universe clearly didn’t want me to abandon Sacred Sister. It wanted me to refresh, revamp, and keep going. It was as if the universe was saying, "You’re not done yet. There’s more magic to come."
So, there I was - sitting naked on the sofa, in the cool Moroccan desert air, with my laptop open and Lisa working with me in Canva to refresh our page, update our bios, add our new logo, and tweak our FB cover. We went back and forth, adjusting everything to perfection despite the usual quirks Facebook throws at us when it changes its layout. The hours slipped by until, at exactly 4:44 a.m., I paused and realised the moment I was in.
There I was, quite literally rebirthing this vision. Naked - something I’m not usually comfortable with, even in my own skin - but somehow, in that moment, everything felt perfectly aligned. It was as if the universe had orchestrated this entire scene: me, bare in the cool desert air, creating something fresh and new with a sister who fully gets me on the other end of the world. It was a powerful symbol of release, vulnerability, and the beginning of something deeper.
This was not just about me anymore.
For so long, I’ve been the driving force behind Sacred Sister, trying to build a community from the space of “I” - but it takes a village, a sisterhood, to truly bring stability and growth. I’m realising now that moving from She to We is not just about delegating tasks. It’s about aligning with the right sisters, those who truly understand the vision and have your back when things don’t go according to plan.
And that’s what this moment has taught me. I’m pretty capable on my own. In fact, I’m awesome. But being in true alignment with another sister? That takes everything to a whole new level.
Sacred Sister is evolving. I’m evolving. And the magic of it all is that I’m no longer doing this alone. I’m fully embracing the we in this sacred journey - moving forward with a deeper sense of trust, connection, and community. 2025 is going to be the most magical year yet, because now, it’s not just me. It’s all of us.
Here’s to the power of sisterhood, to leaning into the cycles of life, and to letting go when the universe nudges us - only to be met with even greater opportunities on the other side.
With love and gratitude,
Laura
