The Moment I Stopped Needing to Be Right

There comes a point in your path where you no longer seek to be “right” —
you just want to be real.
To speak what’s true without over-explaining it.
To share your insight without needing it to be validated.

This is what shifted for me when I finally understood the root of the pressure I carried — and why I stayed silent, even when I had something to say.

I’ve written this piece not as a teaching, but as a remembering. For anyone who’s still bracing, still questioning, still holding back their perspective…

May it unlock something inside you.

She becomes a frequency transmission.
Not through perfection. Through presence.
Not by force. By frequency.

There was a time when I thought clarity meant having all the answers. When I confused certainty with truth, and performance with presence.

I would hold back from speaking unless I could be sure I'd say it perfectly. I waited until the message had been polished, rehearsed, made acceptable. And when I did speak? I’d watch people’s reactions more than I listened to my own inner resonance.

Looking back, I can see it clearly: I was trying to earn permission to speak.

But there’s a deeper current behind why.

I have Chiron in Gate 17.5 in my Design chart. It’s not something I often speak about publicly, but it weaves through everything I do.

Gate 17 carries the energy of perspective, ideas, and belief structures. Line 5 wants to universalize insight—to share what it sees in a way that helps others gain clarity.

But Chiron here means there’s a wound beneath the gift.

For me, it showed up as mental rigidity disguised as high standards. I had to be insightful. Had to sound credible. Had to get it right.

Except what I really craved wasn’t to be right. It was to feel safe enough to be heard.

And that’s where the shift began.

The Breaking Point Wasn’t Loud. It came in a quiet moment when I caught myself deleting a piece of writing that felt too bold. Not too long, not off-topic—just too real.

And I asked myself: Why am I censoring this? Who am I trying to protect?

I realised I was still carrying the fear that if I wasn’t careful enough, composed enough, right enough—I’d be misunderstood, judged, dismissed.

That belief had been running the show. And it had to go.

The Shift Into Real Insight The moment I stopped needing to be right, something else came online: I started telling the truth. Not the polished truth. The living, breathing, imperfect kind. The kind that leaves room for nuance.

Now I teach from that place. I speak what I see, even when it’s messy. And people respond—not because I have all the answers, but because I’m willing to let them in on the process.

I stopped offering opinions to feel in control. I started offering perspective to liberate myself (and others).

If This Is You Too… If you’ve ever delayed sharing your work until it felt airtight… If you’ve softened your words to avoid being too much… If you’ve struggled to trust your insights because you’re not an "expert"…

Just know: You don’t need to be right to be magnetic. You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful. You just need to be real.

And that clarity? It doesn’t come from controlling the message. It comes from trusting the channel it’s coming through.

That’s the work. That’s the freedom. That’s the liberation of Gate 17.

Let me know if this resonates. Or if you're in the middle of that shift yourself. I see you.

The Doors of the Inner Sanctum are opening very soon.
The final detailing is being polished.
