Hi Friends,

I trust last week’s blog on 'When Love Feels Unsafe' was helpful to you.

Most of the questions we ask ourselves are safe. They let us analyze, rationalize, and stay in the comfort of our own heads. But some questions don’t let you hide. They cut through the noise, bypass logic, and land straight in your heart.

The one I want to share with you today isn’t for everyone. It’s one of those questions that can stir something deep, maybe even uncomfortable. But, if you’re willing to sit with it, it can open a door you may have been afraid to walk through.

Here it is:

If your life were a movie, and people had been watching you this whole time, what would they be screaming for you to do with your life right now?

It’s a sobering thought, isn’t it? Suddenly, the excuses, the “somedays,” the “maybe laters” don’t hold up as well when you imagine an audience rooting for you to step into your own story.

When people were asked this, their answers were powerful:

“To get out of functional freeze and start living again.”
“Get up! Do something! Anything!”
“Start living! Stop waiting around for something to happen.”
“Plug in my phone, go to sleep, move far away and grow food for everyone.”
“You’re a victor, not a victim! Keep going & keep the faith.”
“To love myself, believe in myself. You are a beautiful woman… you can do it.”
“Leave him. If after 16 years he still doesn’t provide, he never will.”
“Continue being yourself. Your positivity makes everyone’s day a better day.”
“Everything we’ve been told is a lie. Time to double down and wake up.”
“I honestly need to think about this… because I feel lost right now.”
“It feels like I’m in the Truman Show. I’m at peace with what is now, and the audience is screaming, ‘Don’t go back. Keep going.’”
“I’ve had this exact thought before… like, wow, this could be in a movie.”

One woman answered, when she sat with this question, she felt like she was in The Truman Show — finally at peace with what is now, while the audience was screaming: “Don’t go back. Keep going!” Another said she had this thought about her own life: “This could be in a movie.” That’s the power of a question like this. It cracks something open.Do you notice the range? Some answers are bold and decisive. Others are tender and self-compassionate. Some are raw confessions of feeling lost. And a few carry deep awareness of being right in the middle of their own unfolding story.

But here’s what nobody said: “Stay stuck.”

The voices all point in the same direction—toward movement, truth, courage, and life.

And here’s where this gets personal: this question isn’t meant to be rushed. When I say “sit with it,” I mean really sit with it. Take a deep breath. Let yourself be still. Wait in silence. And then listen—not to the chatter of fear or doubt, but to the deeper voice within you.

Maybe that’s the real “audience” after all. The part of you that already knows it’s time.

So, today I’ll leave you with this: Sit for a moment in the theater of your own life. The screen is lit, the story is yours, and the crowd is waiting. What are they shouting for you to do? And even more—what is your own heart saying?

Because the next scene hasn’t been written yet. And you hold the pen.

Some questions are light and easy. Others? They reach past your head and land right in your heart. This is one of those questions. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re willing to sit with it, it might just change the way you see yourself.

If you try it for yourself, don’t rush. Take a deep breath. Sit in silence. Wait. Let the answer rise from within you instead of grabbing for it with your mind. Sometimes the most important truths don’t show up instantly — they need space to be heard.

Here’s what I know: our brains must answer the questions we ask them. It’s wired that way. So if you ask small, limiting questions, you’ll get small, limiting answers. But when you dare to ask a big, heart-opening question, your mind and soul will conspire together to bring you a new perspective. That’s why the quality of our questions matters so deeply.

If you feel brave enough, try this one. Let it live with you. And if you want to share what comes up, send me your answer — I would truly love to hear it. I’ll be right here, cheering you on.Thank you to Luke Charms for this question.

A Mini Practice to Anchor the Question

Find Stillness Sit comfortably. Close your eyes if that feels safe. Let your shoulders drop and your hands rest gently in your lap.
Take Three Deep Breaths Inhale slowly through your nose… hold for a moment… and exhale gently through your mouth. With each breath, imagine yourself letting go of noise, rushing, and pressure.
Sit With the Question Whisper quietly to yourself:“If my life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming for me to do right now?”Then… just wait. Don’t chase the answer. Let it rise.
Affirmation Once the question feels settled in your heart, repeat softly:

“I trust the questions of my heart to guide me toward my truest life.”

Say it three times, slowly, letting the words sink in.
Close With GratitudePlace a hand on your heart. Thank yourself for showing up. Thank yourself for being willing to listen.
