✨ WELCOME, SURVIVALISTA SISTERS ✨
"You think your problem is imposter syndrome. Or burnout. Or not knowing what you want. It's not. Your problem is that the shouts of fear disconnected you from the voice of LOVE when you were too small to understand what was happening." — Kristin van Tilburg
If:
You've built an impressive life, but serious burnout has destroyed your sense of accomplishment and left you wondering, "Is this all there is?"
You're the woman who starts beautiful things and then abandons them the moment obstacles arise...
You keep switching strategies because your brain tells you "successful people pivot"...
This newsletter is for you.
🔥 HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU 🔥
Survivalistas are brilliant. Survivalistas are capable. But so many of us have inadvertently been listening to the voice of fear our entire lives.
Whether you're the woman who quits before you can be seen (like I used to be)...
Or the woman who succeeded but lost yourself in the process (like Grace Kelly choosing the fairy tale over her passion)...
Or the woman who achieves but burns out because "having it all" is nothing if you don't feel fulfilled by what you are spending the precious minutes of your life doing (like Jamie Kern Lima walking away from being CEO of her cosmetic empire)...
We all have the same wound: disconnection from the voice that knows.
That voice of fear that hijacks your nervous system? It's been running the show since you were a child. Creating powerful neural pathways that were designed to keep you safe but now keep you disconnected from the only place you are ever truly safe... your authentic self.
🧠 THE VOICE THAT IS HIJACKING YOUR LIFE
The Hijacker's voice sounds like:
"I'm not good enough"
"I'm too much"
"I'm a failure"
"Nobody cares about me"
"They don't want what I have to offer"
"I have to please them so they'll like me"
Here's what that Hijacker really is: A protective adaptation your child-brain created when love felt conditional and living felt dangerous.
Your nervous system learned to shout warnings to keep you safe. But now those same warnings keep you from the life your soul so deeply yearns for.
💫 THE VOICE YOU WERE TRAINED TO IGNORE 💫
Your soul's voice - the one that whispers while fear shouts - has been quietly guiding you home your entire life... back to LOVE, back to connection, back to joy.
It sounds like:
"This lights me up in a way nothing else does"
"I'm ready for something new"
"Something beautiful wants to emerge through me"
"This doesn't feel like me anymore"
"My heart knows the way"
But you've been taught to listen to everything except that quiet knowing.
⚔️ THE HIGH COST OF LISTENING TO THE HIJACKER ⚔️
Some of you learned early (like I did) to abandon anything that might not be perfect. My dad's response to straight A's was "Why no A+s?" So I learned: quit before you can really fail.
I've abandoned brilliant business ideas, beautiful brands, sacred callings - all because the Hijacker convinced me "this path is dangerous."
Others learned later - you built beautiful success but the Hijacker told you work more, don't stop, keep going no matter that your heart was craving real connection and your body was starved for deep soul-level nourishment.
Different paths. Same problem. You've lost that vital connection to your own inner wisdom.
No matter what the Hijacker says, that voice always leads to the same place: survival on the outside, but desperate longing for something more on the inside.
🌟 HERE'S WHAT'S TRUE 🌟
Your soul knows exactly what it wants. But your choices have been hijacked by neural pathways that were carved when you were very young and vulnerable.
These aren't "negative thoughts" you can just think your way out of. They're neurological survival programs that require patience, compassion, and the right support to rewire.
Surviving with soul is the only path that leads to joy and fulfillment. Everything else leads to more hiding, more burnout, more pretending to be someone you're not.
💝 THE WOMEN I WORK WITH ARE DONE WITH THIS 💝
They learn to identify the Hijacker's voice and say "Not this time!"
Then they take a few deep breaths and reconnect to the safety and warmth of the authentic self.
They're ready to build something that feeds their soul. This satisfies them much more deeply than adding to their bank account or polishing their image.
They're ready to be seen for who they truly ARE, not who someone told them they SHOULD be in order to succeed.
They're ready to become true Survivalistas - to survive with soul.
🛠️ SOUL TECH PREVIEW: CATCH THE HIJACKER IN ACTION 🛠️
Here's what's happening: The Hijacker - that voice of fear that hijacked your nervous system in childhood to keep you safe - is so sneaky, most women don't even realize when it's running the show. You think those urgent, protective thoughts ARE your intuition.
The Hijacker was your child-brain's brilliant protective adaptation, but now it keeps you disconnected from your authentic self and living in survival mode instead of soul mode.
Quick Hijacker Detection Practice:
Next time you're about to make any decision (what to post, whether to apply for something, how to respond to a difficult person), pause and ask:
"Is this the Hijacker talking or my authentic self?"
"Does this choice move me toward joy or toward fear?"
"Am I choosing from love or from anxiety about of what might happen?"
"Does this feel spacious and knowing, or urgent and reactive?"
The Hijacker will always sound urgent, protective, and "logical." It might say things like:
"This is too risky - what will people think?"
"You're not ready yet - do more research first"
"This isn't working - try something else"
"Don't get your hopes up - you'll just be disappointed"
Your authentic self will feel spacious, knowing, and sometimes a little scary (because it calls you toward growth). It might whisper:
"This lights me up - let's try it"
"I'm ready to be seen"
"This feels aligned with who I really am"
"Something beautiful wants to emerge here"
Most women discover they've been letting the Hijacker make 90% of their decisions.
If you can barely tell the difference between these voices anymore, you're not broken - you're normal. This is what happens when protective patterns run the show for decades.
But recognizing the Hijacker is just the first step. Learning to consistently choose your authentic self over the Hijacker? That takes a systematic approach, daily practices, and someone who can see your blind spots when the Hijacker has been running the show for a long time.
💫 THE REAL QUESTION 💫
Which voice are you going to let guide your life moving forward?
The Hijacker who keeps you disconnected, small, and exhausted?
Or the voice of your authentic self that calls you toward joy, fulfillment, and genuine expression?
Here's what I know: Trying to figure this out alone is what got you disconnected in the first place.
If you're ready to stop letting fear drive your life, if you're done building beautiful prisons instead of authentic joy, if you recognize this scary disconnection for what it is and want to learn to be guided by the voice of LOVE...
Let's talk.
Because the women who learn to hear their soul's whisper above fear's shout? They don't just survive - they survive with soul. And they change the world by being unapologetically themselves.
Your soul is waiting for this monumental reconnection.
The question is: are you ready?

🛠️ ADVANCED SOUL TECH TOOL: HIJACKER OVERRIDE SYSTEM 🛠️
Your Complete Diagnostic and Rewiring Protocol
For Survivalistas who are done letting childhood programming run their adult lives.
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL: EXPOSE YOUR SPECIFIC HIJACKER
Your Hijacker has a signature - specific lies it tells, specific situations that trigger it, specific ways it keeps you disconnected from your authentic self.
Copy this into ChatGPT or Claude:
"I need to identify how my specific 'Hijacker' operates so I can stop letting it run my life. The Hijacker is what I call the voice of fear that hijacked my nervous system in childhood - it's the protective adaptation my child-brain created to keep me safe, but now it keeps me disconnected from my authentic self and limits my life.
The Hijacker sounds urgent, logical, and protective, but it always leads to the same place: survival on the outside but desperate longing on the inside. It might tell me to quit before I can fail, or work harder no matter the cost, or hide to stay safe, or please others to be loved.
I want to see this pattern with clarity, not judgment.
My Hijacker gets loudest when: [What situations make the protective voice scream? Visibility? Conflict? Success? Failure?]
The Hijacker's favorite lies about me: [What does it repeatedly tell you about your worth, safety, or capabilities?]
How my Hijacker sabotages my success: [Does it make you quit? Overwork? Hide? People-please?]
When I listen to the Hijacker, I end up: [Feeling exhausted? Resentful? Invisible? Burned out?]
Help me: - Name my Hijacker's specific strategy for keeping me 'safe' but small - Show me exactly how this pattern formed in childhood - Identify the exact moments when I can catch it in action - Give me a custom 'override phrase' to use when I recognize it - Help me distinguish between real danger and Hijacker false alarms - Create a practice for choosing my authentic self instead
Be direct with me - I'm ready to see how this pattern has been limiting my life."
