Letting Nature Speak Through You
In the wellness world, one of the deepest blocks I see around expression, visibility, and marketing comes from a quiet, unconscious assumption that in order to be allowed to speak, you must have it all figured out.
But your voice doesn’t need to be universal, perfect, or objectively “right” to matter. You are not here to articulate grand, all-encompassing truths. You are here to express your truth — the deeply subjective, cellular, messy experience of being alive — and in doing so, you allow nature, evolution, and life itself to speak through you.
When you do so, you become a shepherd of something much older and larger than you: the ongoing expression of life itself.
The Wrong Approach
Over the years I have come to realise that one of the core problems in the wellness world when it comes to expression, visibility and marketing is that people unconsciously assume that in order to be allowed to speak they must have some all-encompassing grand truth to articulate, that they have to have it all “figured out” and the fact is, that’s impossible.
One of the easiest ways to bypass this misunderstanding is acknowledging the difference between objective and subjective truth.
As wellness and transformation professionals, we are not here to declare objective truths. That is not our place in the world. We are not scientists measuring constants. We are each an N=1 experiment — a singular, unrepeatable aperture of experience. What is correct for me and my life is not correct for all. But it will resonate with some, and that is the point.
When we allow ourselves to fully own our truth as subjective—personal, specific—we no longer need to sound correct, convincing, or inarguable. We don’t have to wrap ourselves in authority to be valid. We can let our expression be what it already is: unfiltered, messy, alive with charge.
Freedom comes when you stop trying to be right about reality and instead aim to correctly express the reality of your experience.
Being Spoken Through
I think we add greater value and more beauty to the world, not by constructing something perfect and inarguable to say, but about simply letting ourselves be spoken through. That is the deeper, truer work for all of us.
Every single one of us is a different organism nature is working through, and it’s up to each of us to find the right operating system for our own life’s work. That’s why I constantly remind my clients in The Program: “This is just my lens.”
I’m not objectively correct about anything. I’ve simply built a framework for making sense of my own experience. And when people resonate with it, it’s not because it’s “true” in some universal way — it’s because it speaks to what’s already alive in them.
Learning to Trust Nature
Most of us aren’t blocked because we have nothing to say—we’re blocked because we’ve never been taught to trust the nature inside us. No one teaches us to recognize our voice as more than an opinion and thought—but as an important part of evolution and nature’s expression.
It took me years to trust the meandering mess of words that spilled out of my mouth on the way to finding the point. For a long time, I hated verbal expression because I wished I could sound polished and complete; to even just maybe even speak in finished thoughts.
But the truth is, my organism knows the message before my mind has the words. I figure out the words as I’m speaking the feeling and that means it’s messy. I had to learn to trust that there is a point to that in order to get beyond the noise of judgment and self-consciousness in my mind, and when I did, I noticed there was always something meaningful coming through.
Why Trust Nature?
When I say “trust nature,” I mean trusting the raw intelligence it took for life to make us. Four billion years of unbroken evolution refined you into existence. I do not believe in intentional design, but I do trust the accumulated intelligence.
When you think about it this — really think it — something shifts. You transcend the whole idea of doing vs being, and instead you let being happen through you and because of that, you simply do.
And yes, there’s value in finding the right words. But that comes second. Connection to your voice comes first. Without that connection, no amount of crafting will make you sound alive.
Because the deepest voice inside you doesn’t live in words at all — it lives in energy. It pools in your throat when you’re standing in a field and the wind shifts and something in you shifts with it. You cannot summon this voice on command. You can only make yourself available to it. In order to do that, you have to first learn to trust it.
The Reckoning
Expression is participation — in life, in nature, in the ongoing experiment of existence itself.
When you speak from the deepest, truest place inside you, you are allowing four billion years of intelligence to take form through the shape of your being. This is why withholding your voice isn’t neutral. It interrupts something larger. You don’t need to wait until you’ve “figured it out.” You don’t need to sound certain, or polished, or right. You just need to make yourself available —to stand open enough for what wants to move through you to find its way into the world. Because if you don’t, it won’t, and something irreplaceable will be lost.
