Hello and welcome to the Claim Your Power podcast, the ultimate show for all things self-love, spirituality, and personal growth. I'm your host, Kim Peretz. I'm a three-time author, content creator, avid traveler, entrepreneur, and matcha enthusiast. You are at the right place if you're ready to rediscover the love within, align with your purpose, and unleash your highest potential. It's time to claim your power.

Hello my friends and welcome back to the podcast. If you're new here, my name is Kim and I am your host and guys, I'm so excited to dive into today's episode because honestly, what we're going to be talking about today is so potent, it is so important, it is so valuable and I know that you're going to come out of it with so many aha moments, really tapped into your power, really tapped into your energy and feeling

a line, baby. I also want to share with you guys that I am hosting a live self-concept masterclass on March 3rd, and this masterclass is going to be so, so, so good. First off, I will say that spots are limited because it is live, so if you feel like you want to come to one of my live events, if this masterclass is calling your name, make sure to fill out the waitlist and get your ticket in the episode notes because spots will run out fast once I open up the signups.

but this masterclass is going to be amazing. It's nothing like I've ever done before. We're gonna be really diving into self-concept, manifestation, law of assumption, and how to really become the dream version of yourself. I'm gonna be teaching you how I turned an old version of me

into who I am today all through my self-concept and how you can do it too. So if this is calling your name, this masterclass is not for everyone. It is for the person ready to change their life and their mind and their thoughts and their self-concept. So make sure to grab your spot in the

episode notes and without further ado, let's dive into today's episode. Today I want to talk about the idea of how harder paths actually mean that you have a higher calling and your path is harder because your calling is higher. You wouldn't be experiencing all the challenges in your life if they weren't meant to be stepping stones for you.

because the truth is the universe will never ever ever send you a life lesson that you cannot handle and the reason that you are experiencing a lot of triggers the reason that things are shaking up in your life is not because life is against you it's because life is for you and it wants you to keep rising higher we're not able to rise higher if we don't learn lessons if we don't grow if we stay stagnant then we're in exactly the same place

Sometimes in life, you're going to have to go down the wrong road in order for you to find the right path. Sometimes life will send your way challenges and heartbreaks and obstacles in order for you to learn the lesson and use it as a stepping stone.

The path of connecting to your higher self means also the path of being a mirror, meaning you will start to mirror to other people what they've been running away from, meaning that you will start getting other people around you mirroring your own shit. And that means that when you are higher, you know, when you're rising up, when you're on a self-development path, it's like you're destroying all illusions in your life.

Just because someone else seems like they figured it all out doesn't actually mean that they have it figured out. And the thing is, if you feel lost in life right now, if you feel like your path is all shaken up, I have some good news for you. I'm about to congratulate you. Do you want to know why? Because you know exactly where you are. You know right now that you are lost. And now that you know that you are lost or you don't have it figured out, then you can spend your energy getting yourself back on course.

Because of your heightened awareness, your path might have obstacles along the way and that is part of life. That is part of the human experience. Guys, Earth is a planet of duality. This planet is not for the weak and if your soul is here right now, it chose this planet for a reason because this is in your highest growth and your highest calling to be here, to have that human experience, to be a person.

person and a soul and a human body and to have everything that comes along with it. And so if you know right now that you are lost, you're in an amazing place because you know exactly where you are. You are lost. And so now you can use your energy to reconnect with yourself, to find yourself all over again.

And so really this comes back to the idea that the universe is always working in your favor and sometimes life sends your way challenges and obstacles because they're meant to teach you something. Think about it this way. If I didn't go for instance...

through a really hard heartbreak in my life and I didn't go through all these shitty situationships with men and just having really low self-worth and I didn't have those heartbreaks and those feelings of rejection, then I would have never been ignited into a spiritual awakening. I would have never had a self-love journey and I would have never started this podcast.

Sometimes the things, the hardest things that we have to go through in life are actually we are going through them first so that we can rise up and help others along the path. Your highest path will often require your deepest lows. And I really want to end this episode by reading you guys a quote that I found all about this concept that I think is really going to set the foundation for it. Your calling is going to crush you.

If you're called to mend the brokenhearted, you're going to wrestle with brokenheartedness. If you're called to prophecy, you're going to struggle to control your mouth. If you're called to lay hands, you will battle spiritual viruses. If you are called to preach and to teach, you will be sifted from the wisdom that anoints your message. If you are called to empower, your self-esteem will be attacked, your successes will be hard fought.

Your calling will come with cups, thorns, and sifting that are necessary for your mantle to be authentic, humble, and powerful. Your crushing won't be easy because your assignment is not easy. Your oil is not cheap.

Your heartache and your pain is always where your greatest power will be found because it requires you to seek for resilience in adversity, to seek for the light in the dark. This is a quote that I saw on the Instagram account called bloom womb and

Honestly, so potent, so powerful and I hope this kind of awakened you from within and made you realize that whatever it is that you are going through, there is a reason, there is a higher calling and your future version of you is looking back at where you are now and it's already sorted everything out. All the things that you are worried about, it's already got them sorted out. And so I just want to share one last thing that I think will really help you guys that this is a practice that I've been implementing in my life and

And that is every single time before I go to bed and I have a day where I feel like my path is harder and I'm experiencing a lot of struggles and challenges and it's disconnecting me from my calling in those moments, which is part of the reason we go through those things, is for it to strengthen our connection to our mission and our soul. But something that I really like to do is before I go to bed, I close my eyes and I tell the universe,

Thank you so much for showing me that the issue has been solved. And you don't need to say any specific issue. You don't even have to think about a specific issue. But just saying it, the universe knows what you're struggling with right now, what's on your heart, what's heavy, whether it's on a subconscious or conscious level. And when you say that before you go to bed, you allow your soul, your higher self and the universe to know what you're struggling with.

to allow you to see that everything is being solved, everything is being orchestrated in your favor and just allows you to release the sense of control and worry in that moment. And I've been doing it for the past couple of weeks. It's been really, really helping me. So I really recommend you guys try it out and let me know how it feels for you. Beautiful souls, thank you so much for joining me in today's episode. As always, I will talk to you next week. Bye.
