Do you ever feel the urge to do something radical? Something life-changing? Have you ever just wanted to say, “F%#^ this” and step into the unknown? Quit your job, leave your partner, and start your own business, or finally do the one thing your soul craves? 

If you haven’t, try it now. Imagine making that change. Does the thought ignite your soul? That’s exactly what I did—because my soul demanded it. 

I get it—responsibilities, bills, family, the weight of expectations. We’re taught stability equals safety, even if it costs us fulfillment. But what if fear is just a limiting belief? Therapist Kathy Overman once said, “Your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven.” We cling to what’s known, even when it keeps us stuck. We’re told what success looks like. Follow the rules. Stay the course. Don’t question too much.

But what if we did? Maybe your relationship no longer fulfills you. Maybe your dream job feels like a cage. Maybe you’re just not the person you know you could be. What if you stopped settling? Imagine the relief of letting go, the thrill of trusting yourself. You would finally be YOU. You would feel ALIVE. 

Can you feel it? That real-life magic bubbling inside you? Exhilarating, isn’t it? 

I’m Kathryne Mejias, an author, event creator, and healing practitioner. I’ve taken many leaps to realign with my highest self. Most recently, I left my marriage of eight years. Divorce, like any major change, is terrifying, but on the other side is something incredible: clarity, liberation, joy. 

When I left, people expected a victim narrative. But I refuse to see divorce as just an ending—it’s also a beginning. We can let experiences weigh us down or use them to propel us forward. We get to choose. 

This isn’t just about divorce. It’s about leaving anything that no longer serves you. Growth requires change. 

Look at your life. What are you holding onto for the wrong reasons? Time moves forward whether we act or not. Don’t look back years from now wishing you had chosen yourself sooner. 

If more people honored their souls’ desires, we would all live blissfully. Too often, we chase things rooted in trauma, not true alignment. Ask yourself: Why do I want what I want? Is it for validation? To fit in? Or does it truly set my soul on fire? 

Some eye-opening stats: 

• Up to 60% of people admit they settled for a partner who doesn’t ignite their soul. 

• 69% of divorces are initiated by women. 

• The average age of divorce is 41. 

Many women stay in unfulfilling relationships due to fear, low self-worth, or family pressure.  But those who fulfill their desires don’t wait on the sidelines. They take the leap, trusting the net will appear. 

Reinvention isn’t about losing yourself—it’s about finally meeting the person you were always meant to be.
