The Power of Your Yes
Something happened the moment I said “yes.” It’s been present in almost every big moment in my life. My saying yes changes things. It is almost as if the change is instantaneous within me and happening all around me. My “yes” opens and closes doors. It catalyzes new opportunities and creates new connections. My “yes” is so powerful.
I wonder if you know how powerful your “yes” is. In truth, you wield the very same energy when you say yes and commit to holding the vision of who you are. It happens when you create clarity around what you want in life. Your “yes” can compel you forward once you determine who you are.
Manifestation is an element of the power of your decision, but what I am referring to is much deeper. It is a spiritual connection to who you were designed to be. Where manifestation speaks to deciding to create a pathway, your “yes” to yourself confirms that you are ready for the possibilities that are already here. It may feel a bit nuanced, but if you check in with your soul, you know what I mean.
Something happens when you say “yes” to who you already are. I often refer to it as the “universal yes” or the “surrender” to your truth. We know who we are. We spend a decent amount of time in our lives working in opposition to our truth. Those choices keep us “efforting” or striving, resulting in our operating out of alignment with our higher consciousness within. Most of the time, people do not realize they are operating from this place because they simply cannot see it for themselves.
When someone chooses to go to therapy for a general concern, they often describe it as something “feeling off” or not being able to put their finger on it. They feel something is out of alignment but are not sure where to start. They may not be convinced that there is an issue, except for the feeling that things could improve.
My clients are similar. They are accomplished, brilliant and incredibly good people. They have high track records of success and know how to move their businesses forward. They are skilled in leading others and are deeply committed to contributing in a meaningful way. In most cases, I find that what stands in the way of reaching the next level is the deeper connection to themselves.
As we explore the gap, they discover that they are disconnected from their “yes.” In almost every instance, they are on the cusp of something big yet they find themselves questioning what they know inside. They question themselves despite their continued success and highly regarded performance.
It is worthy of note that despite the performance and external recognition of their successes, the internal disconnect renders the external validation as barely significant. This means that even though they might seek feedback beyond themselves, they will feel dissatisfaction. The disconnectedness to the internal alignment reigns supreme. Your “Yes” is that important.
So how do you reconnect to your “yes?” (To read more click the button below...)
We know. The winds of change are swirling around us all. Whether you have been contemplating a change, are facing workplace shifts or simply want to prioritize your calling, this session is for you. Join me as I share insights with Host Dr. C. to talk about transforming our lives God's way.
As I navigate the complex and often chaotic landscape of today’s world, I find myself questioning the stability of my own foundations. Can I truly rely on the systems I once trusted? Am I on the right path, or is the world shifting beneath my feet? With political unrest, economic uncertainty, and rapid societal change, these concerns feel more pressing than ever.
There’s no denying that we are in the midst of what I am calling a "great shakeup." Change is happening at an accelerated pace, and at times, it may feel we are being swept up in a whirlwind beyond our control. That feeling of instability can be unsettling, but I’ve come to realize that it’s also an invitation—an opportunity to shift my perspective and find balance in the midst of uncertainty. I invite you to consider the possibilities as well.
Embracing the Shift: A New Perspective
I know that acknowledging my fears is the first step to overcoming them. Instead of resisting the changes around me, I choose to see them as a necessary part of my growth. The insights that flowed during April’s Divine Guidance on The Anika Apple Podcast remind me that these moments of upheaval aren’t just disruptions; they are divine realignments. They are not meant to break us but to reposition us for something greater.
This realization forces me to ask: Where am I placing my trust? Am I anchored in temporary, worldly structures that can crumble at any moment, or am I rooted in a deeper, unshakable spiritual truth? The answer determines whether I feel overwhelmed or at peace in the whirlwind. These are the kinds of questions that reveal what and in whom we believe.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of letting go—of control, of old beliefs, of the illusion of stability in things that were never meant to last. Trusting in divine direction requires me to surrender the things I once thought I needed and instead lean into faith.
Surrender isn’t about giving up; it’s about recognizing that my security doesn’t come from money, titles, or external validation. My foundation must be built on something greater—on divine wisdom, inner peace, and the knowledge that I am always being guided, even when I can’t see the full picture.
"Say yes and walk in your purpose and know that the next steps, the next pieces are going to be revealed to you when it's time." - Anika Apple
Protecting My Growth
As I evolve through this period of change, I remind myself to treat my growth with care—just as I would protect a newborn. A newborn is fragile, requiring nurturing, patience, and protection from harmful influences. My own transformation is no different.
This means being intentional about what I allow into my space. Not every voice deserves my attention. The multitudes of flashy reels and click-bait headlines can wait. Prioritizing quiet time to explore my own opinions, to pray, and to center my wellbeing is best way forward.
As I share in the episode, there are many loud, promising voices that claim to have all the answers, but discernment is key. We will see them scurry away in the months to come. We must remember to stay rooted in our intuition and aligned with divine wisdom rather than being swayed by fear-based narratives or empty promises.
Leaning Into Community
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that I can’t navigate this journey alone. In times of uncertainty, I turn to my community—those who uplift, challenge, and walk alongside me with authenticity and love. Meaningful relationships provide the grounding I need when the world feels unstable.
I know that when I invest in genuine, reciprocal connections, I create a network of support that helps me stay strong. True community is more than just people surrounding me—it’s about building bonds that sustain and empower me through life’s transitions. This is a great time to take stock in the way you reciprocate and to explore the ecosystems in your life. All things should feed into and receive from other parts of your life.
Finding Peace in the Chaos
Through it all, I’ve discovered that even in the midst of upheaval, I can cultivate an unshakable peace. That peace doesn’t come from external stability; it comes from within—from a deep trust in divine guidance and an understanding that transformation is necessary for growth.
The world may be shifting, but I am not lost. I am evolving. And as I let go of what no longer serves me, deepen my spiritual practices, and embrace the opportunities hidden within the chaos, I find myself exactly where I’m meant to be.
The whirlwind isn’t here to destroy me—it’s here to transform me. And by trusting in that truth, I can step forward with clarity, courage, and unwavering faith. I invite you to choose peace with me. Strengthen your connection to the truth and know that our Source will always hold the answer.

While I Was Busy Loving You I wonder how many hours an individual spends thinking about their love relationships. From being a lovestruck teenager to navigating adult dating to keeping a marriage healthy and connected, there has to be thousands of hours racked up. If you include the time spent with best friends, therapists and any other listening ear, we can almost double the hours spent thinking about the relationships. While they are important conversations to have, we are often focused on...
The Path To Safety Within The truth is we all need healing. Our healing journey is individual AND collective. Our healing is complex, especially right now. We are in the midst of continued repealing of laws, selling off of historical landmarks, and quietly redesigning with the “American Way” is…without the full voice of America. It’s an uncomfortable time for the majority of people. The uncertainty continues to mount and more seems to be revealed by the moment. In moments like these, we...
It's Time To Heal I am a healer. It feels good to own that identity. While many of you may be thinking, "Yes, we know," it still feels significant to me. I think we all experience that moment. Your purpose often feels larger than life… because it is. In my case, I have some notions around what qualifies a person to be a healer and I’ve been working through those. I am a healer. I heal people, businesses, communities and I’ve also facilitated healing within our ancestral lineage. I’m glad I...
