You Don’t Have to Erase Your Past to Earn Your Redemption

Let’s make something clear from the start: you’re not here to be perfect—you’re here to evolve. And every version of you along the way? It mattered. It fought for you. Even the messiest, rawest, darkest version of you was part of your ascension. (Watch The Podcast Version of This Here)

Too often I see people hit a turning point in their healing or spiritual growth and suddenly want to scrub every trace of their past off the map—old posts, old versions of themselves, old mistakes. But you don’t have to erase your past to be worthy of your future. You just need to understand it.

Every Version of You Handed You the Baton

Healing is not a straight line. It’s a relay race. Every version of you handed the baton to the next, doing the absolute best it could with the energy, knowledge, and resources it had at that time.

Your unhealed self? It fought to survive.
Your confused self? It made the choices it thought were right.
Your broken-down, medication-suppressed, over-explaining, oversharing self? She still got you here.

Let’s stop acting like healing means pretending the old you didn’t exist. She’s the reason you even can heal.

Your Past Is Not a Stain—It’s the Proof

There is wisdom in your wounds. Your past contains golden keys: the scars, the stripes, the failures, the survival. That’s what makes you credible. That’s what makes your redemption real.

And if you’re someone who’s lived publicly—especially through suffering—it can feel even harder. I’ve been there. Posts, videos, voice notes… things I used to cringe at now make me emotional. Not because I’m embarrassed, but because I realize: she was trying.

I should’ve told her: “You’re doing the best you can.” And now I do. I forgive her. I thank her. And I invite you to do the same for yourself.

High-Performers, This Part’s for You

If you’re a high-profile man who chased material success at the cost of your soul—stop pretending you don’t know what I’m talking about. That void inside of you isn’t going anywhere until you stop running from yourself.

Success without soul is failure in disguise.

You don’t need to erase your past—you need to integrate it.

A lot of men come to me on the redemption path asking:

• “Do I still have a soul?”
• “Can I rewire this?”
• “Is there a way to make this right?”

Yes. But not without accountability.
Not without humility.
Not without soul-level truth.

And definitely not without forgiving the version of you that got lost in the matrix of what success was supposed to look like.

The Race Has Always Been Against Yourself

The only competition has ever been between you… and a more healed version of you. So stop looking sideways. Look at the track you’ve already run. And honor every tired, scarred, desperate, striving version of you that carried that baton so you could be here.

And now it’s your turn to carry it forward.

The Full Moon Invitation: Self-Forgiveness

The full moon is about release. Closure. Forgiveness. Not just of others—but of YOU.

Take a moment to:

• Say, “I’m sorry” to the parts of you you’ve been so damn hard on.
• Say, “Thank you” to the versions of you that got back up.
• Say, “I love you” to the person you’re becoming.

Because that person you’re becoming? They exist because of every “flawed” version that came before.

Divine Timing > Hustle Culture

Stop trying to micromanage the universe. Rest in the knowing that everything is happening in divine time. When you work from aligned energy—not hustle—you move mountains in minutes.

You’re not late. You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

In Closing…

Your past is not something to run from. It’s the reason you can stand tall now. You’re not here to be perfect—you’re here to be whole. And wholeness includes the parts of you that broke open so your soul could rise.

If you’re on the redemption path… if you’re ready to rewrite your soul contract and finally live in alignment—you know where to find me.
