Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. That's right. Keep going. Don't ever stop. And here we go. Welcome to Rooted in Rising. I'm your host, Tara Michelle, intuitive guide, storyteller, and fellow traveler on this wild path of becoming. This is a space for the soul led, for the ones unraveling old stories tending to their healing and rising, not perfectly, but powerfully into who they are here to be. Here we explore what it means to live with intention, to love with depth, and to trust that even the hard things are shaping us. I'll share pieces of my own journey, the cracks, the beauty, the breakthroughs, and invite voices who are walking this path too. Because I believe life isn't happening to us, it's happening for us. So come as you are, root in and rise up. And thank you. Truly thank you for being here. Welcome back to Rooted and Rising. I am Tara Michelle, the host of the show. I want to thank you all for joining me again this week. It is going to be a quick message this week. There's a lot happening over here and a lot of good things. And just trying to keep all the plates spinning. But I felt this to be an important reminder to remind us all, right? I want to talk about what it means to keep going. And the intro of the show, somebody I'm sure was saying, saying, gonna say, that's what she said, because that's what my son would say. If I said, keep going, keep going, keep going, he'd say, that's what she said. You know, it's a 15-year-old thing to say. But anyways, let me get back on point here. So today I'm gonna talk about what it means to keep going. Not the motivational poster version, the real version. When you're running on empty, you're running on fumes, when doubt is loud, when the finish line feels absolutely invisible, that kind of keep going. Because here's what I know to be true for real. Everything you desire is already on its way to you. Everything you desire is already on its way to you. Even when it looks like it isn't, and even when it feels impossible, it's already written. The job, your job, is just to stay in motion and to keep going. It is already written, it is already done. Everything you desire is on its way to you now. Keep going. This morning, the universe sent me a little message, a beautiful one, as a matter of fact. It was a reminder, it was a confirmation, it was one I definitely needed to hear or to feel or to be reminded of today. I was walking the dogs and I spotted a katy did. It's that season. And they're beautiful, electric green, you know. So I snapped a photo of it. I was just sitting there and I was curious, like, what's the spiritual meaning of a katy did? Like, is there a spiritual meaning? And of course there is, because there's a spiritual meaning for everything. We have to make meanings. We're we're meaning-making machines. We have to make a meaning for everything. But but I looked it up. Um, and and it was beautiful because what it meant was luck, prosperity, patience, transformation, a messenger that says, trust the process. There is a proper time for all things. That's the message. Trust the process. There's a proper time for all things. And inside that message message, I'll remind you, keep going. I personally needed to hear that today. I'm in a season of a lot of change, new career, big transitions, full life. Some days it flows, some days it's just one foot in front of the other. But I keep going and I keep going every day. And if you happen to be in one of those seasons, if you're feeling that season, right? Maybe you're tired, maybe you're doubting, maybe you're doing all the right things, and you still feel like it's never gonna happen. I'm here to remind you. It's happening. You have to keep going. Don't stop. Don't doubt. Trust. Breathe. And remind your nervous system that you are safe. That you are okay. That you are gonna make it. You're gonna make it. We all will. We all do every day. And I notice, like in my own space of overwhelm, I I take a step back and I remind myself, breathe, and what's the one thing that I need to do right now if there's a long to-do list, which there is right now. And I don't allow myself to think about all the things I have to do. I just stop myself, what's the one thing that I can do right now? And when I complete that one thing, what's the one thing I can do right now? And when I complete that one thing, what's the one thing I can do right now? That allows me, and I remind my nervous system that I am safe. I'm safe. All is well, and I will heal this fear. I am ready to heal this fear. I think I heard that from Gabby Bernstein. I'm ready to heal, I'm ready to heal this fear. But it does shift your nervous system and it allows you just to kind of sink in and relax and realize that, you know, this is the journey, the gap, the in-between. I talked about it over Easter. I talked about it in my number one episode in the first episode, way back when. This is the journey. This is where the juice is, this is the deliciousness, even though it doesn't feel like it. But it is. So keep going. So before I go, I want to leave you with one question. Where have you been waiting for a sign to keep going when the real sign was always your own refusal to quit? Sit with that one. What if that's the only sign? That's the sign. Your refusal to quit. Nothing outside of you. Nothing outside of you is bigger or stronger or more powerful than the you that is sitting right within you. So I send you all of my love, everybody. Have an amazing week. I look forward to seeing you next weekend. Yes, this was short. Uh, some are probably saying, Thank God, while others are like, wait, that's it. So I want to say thank you. I wish you all just an incredible week. Keep going, breathe one thing at a time, one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. And we will make it to the other side of whatever this season looks for you. You will make it, you will do it, and you will look back and say, Wow, what a fucking amazing journey. And I fucking did it. I love you all. Have a great day. Thank you for rooting in and rising with me today.
