Keywords: self-identity, personal growth, barriers, self-belief, change, vision, self-exploration

On the night before my 100-day ceremony begins, I sit in the quiet and return to myself. This episode is a grounding yarn — a calling back of my spirit, my energy, and my truth. I speak about identity, the barriers I’ve carried, and the stories I’ve outgrown, and I invite you to reflect on your own journey alongside me.

I ask the questions that matter: Who am I to myself? Where am I in my life right now? What do I believe about who I am allowed to become?
Because I’ve learned that the biggest barriers aren’t out there — they’re the stories I’ve held about who I believe myself not to be.

This night-before ceremony is about clearing the ground, gathering my fire, and listening to the call of what is already rising within me. I honour my lived experience, my vision, and the truth that everything I need is already within.

Through reflection, release, and reclamation, I prepare myself to walk into the next sunrise with conviction, discipline, and devotion — knowing that my identity, my story, and my Dreaming are not obstacles… they are my medicine.
