Sometimes You Have To Cut The Cords (or Break Things)
When Cosmic Energies Brings Matters To A Head
The past week has been a tumultuous one for me. I fired my coach.

My decision has been a long time coming. I’ve given her three chances. But the Cosmic energies of this week (YOD, or Finger of God, aspects) have made it quite clear the time has come to part ways.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, allow them time to adjust and change. In this case, that didn’t happen. Old patterns kept coming up.
The final (revelatory) blow came when I discovered that she (and several other members of the group in which I was participating) are backing Trump. I knew that the members of this group (unlike me) hold Christian views, but wrongly believed they are moderates. I was wrong.
Today I cut the cord, and terminated my contract. I cannot trust anyone to have my best interests at heart while following someone like Trump — and praying for him to win the election. It became clear to me that this is the wrong coach for me, and the wrong program.
My only regret (if I have any) is that I didn’t see it coming. There were a few signs about the political leanings, but not anything that would reveal the truth. We talk about other things in the group; it’s about building our businesses, not about politics.
Thank goodness it finally came clear. The few members of this group who have become friends and allies will probably continue to be friends outside of the group context.
A clean break is the best way for me to move ahead, without the burden of energies that do not align with me or my best interests.
For me this was a huge step. I did not take it lightly, but once I realized it had to be done, there was no turning back. I made the decision and cut the cord. I will take my time to consider my next steps. I won’t be looking for another coach until well into next year, to allow the energies to settle and for me to consider what will serve me better in 2025 and beyond. I have other support systems and for now that’s good enough.
So I’m curious.
I’ve been watching the events of the past week, and how the energies are playing out in people’s lives. How has it affected you?
What has suddenly become clear, and allowed you to break free or break away from something that no longer serves your highest good?
It might be something small or — as in my case — a major step. Did you notice a shift? How are you handling it?
We can only live in integrity and congruence when we are true to our deepest selves, willing to release what is not healthy for us, willing to embrace everything that is.
Did the YOD/Cosmic field force your hand this week? If so, how is it working out for you?
My love and appreciation goes out to all of us. We’ve come through a dicey passage — and made it. I’d love to hear how it’s been for you. Blessings ahead for right actions!
I feel you, Nancy. As you can imagine, living in one of the deepest red of "red states" (Oklahoma), I am surrounded by Trumpers. For the most part, my attitude is, "Bless their ignorant little hearts," while I roll my eyes. You can't have a discussion with them about issues because — thanks in large part to Fox News and social media — they can't tell fact from fiction and spend zero time trying to discern which is which.
But it's also severely damaged a close relationship I had with friend. I *thought* we shared core values. I *thought* she would be as appalled as I am about the SCOTUS decision in July, nevermind rolling back Roe v. Wade. For God's sake, we've lost one of the fundamental tenets upon which this country was founded — that no one is above the law!
She finds that less abhorent than 'Lyin' Kamala' being our next president. Less a problem than our 'shitty economy under Biden/Harris'. Less repugnant than the Cheeto Felon spreading lies about neighborhood pets being eaten by immigrants and Democrats directing the path of hurricanes to hit only red states — all of which endangered innocent people. WTactualF??!!!
When I said I had a problem with his reaction to losing the election in 2020, she said, "But did he, really?" When I pointed out no evidence of election fraud was found in any case brought before a court in any jurisdiction, she said, "So they say."
When I refuted each point with documented facts, she told me I was being condescending!!
No...that was incredulousness, not condescension. Incredulousness with a healthy dose of sorrow.
We will give them the benefit of doubts. If there's too much funny things happening, then it's not just a coincidence. Sometimes we just have to cut them off for peace of mind
