I’ve been living nomadically for a while now.
No fixed address. A van, a rented office, and more clarity than I’ve had in years.
And here’s what I didn’t expect: when you lose the scaffolding — the space, the structure, the container that told you and everyone else who you were — you find out very quickly what was actually yours and what was borrowed.
What’s left when all of it goes away?
That’s this week’s question. And it turns out the Crown Chakra — Sahasrara — has been sitting on the answer the whole time.
This week I’m writing about the difference between authority that comes from what you’ve built around yourself, and the authority that remains when all of it is gone. Between control and sovereignty. Between leading because people agree you should, and leading because you know who you are.
One of those holds under pressure. The other doesn’t.
