Hi — I’m Wanda.

Thank you for joining Liberating Living Weekly. Welcome to Part B of reclaiming your inner authority. Last week we recognized what was lost; this week we move toward walking freely with the authority we’re regaining. Today’s edition focuses on practicing small acts of trust, choosing love, and aligning money to support bold next steps. These are everyday muscles—built by tiny, faithful acts. Let’s do the work together.. Why listen: Practical rituals + hard-won steps to free your spirit and move your money with clarity. Below are three practical spiritual practices, one simple money move, a podcast pick, and how to join our waitlist for programs and scholarships.

Owning inner authority isn’t about arrogance — it’s about aligning action with identity so decisions come from trust rather than coercion. Research on autonomy and emotion regulation shows that pairing body-based practice, naming, and cognitive reappraisal with concrete behavioral experiments (including financial steps) increases sustained change and reduces relapse into old scripts.

Building small financial rituals (automatic transfers, micro-budgets) reduces anxiety and creates a felt sense of security that supports courageous choices. Financial therapy and evidence-based behavior-change methods converge here: small predictable steps beat occasional big promises. The Guardian

1. Step & Declare (3–5 minutes). Stand with feet hip-width. Take three grounding breaths (inhale 4 / exhale 6). Take one slow step forward and say aloud: “I step from fear into love.” Notice the weight shift in your feet and how your body supports the choice. Take a second step and say: “I trust the Spirit within me.” Take a third step and say: “I choose one brave, small act this week.” Write that act as a one-line commitment on your phone.
Variation (seated): Lift one foot or tap the toe as a “step” while speaking each declaration.
Journal cue: One line — “My one small brave act this week is ___.”

2. Ground, Name, Release (5–8 minutes). Sit or stand. Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart. Breathe for six slow cycles (inhale 4 / exhale 6). On an exhale, whisper the single word that most often drives your obedience (for example: prove, enough, please). On the next inhale, imagine a warm light in your sternum; on the exhale imagine that light expanding and gently loosening the hold of the named word. Finish by saying softly: “This is not my final word.” Rest your hand on your heart for two full breaths.
Variation (3-minute): One breath cycle + one naming + one breath of light.
Journal cue: Write the named word + one line: “Who would I be if this were not true?”

3. Sacred Ledger & Appointment (7–10 minutes). Open a small notebook or phone note titled “Sacred Ledger.” Spend two minutes listing small financial or boundary moves you’ve avoided because of fear (charging for your time, saying no, investing in training). Circle one item you can do this week. Schedule a tiny sacred appointment (15–30 minutes) on your calendar to take that step (or to plan it) and protect it as non-negotiable. Close by depositing a small symbolic amount ($1–$5) into your Trust/Courage Fund and say aloud: “This is my vote for my next self.”
Variation (fast): Set the $5 automation now and say your one-line affirmation when you press confirm.
Journal cue: One line — “The financial/boundary step I will take is ___ (date/time).”

Set a timer for five minutes and write in short sentences:

Write the answers and text or tell your accountability partner.

Tip: If a purchase feels risky, commit to a small refundable or low-cost resource first (a 1-hour consult, an ebook) — the key is action.

Pick a small brave experiment (call a mentor, apply for a role, record a short video, set a boundary). Do it within 48 hours. Afterward, journal:

These micro-experiments create evidence that your inner authority works in the world.

If you run the mini-experiment, reply and tell me one sentence about what you tried and what shifted. I read replies and often share anonymized wins with the community.

We’re currently taking names for community programs and retreats (launching May 2026). Join the waitlist to receive priority invitations, early-bird spots, and scholarship notifications.

Walking in the authority you were given is not a single courageous act — it’s a lifetime of small, faithful ones. Start with one step this week and notice how the world begins to match your inner trust.

Keep showing up for you. Keep flowing in freedom! 💜
