After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.
Spiritual, Emotional & Mental Well-being
For inner peace, happiness, richness in spirit, self-love, etc.

Inner peace—a benefit of being in our authenticity, of the soul—helps us to have more control of our focus. When we can fully focus on the potential that this moment has, we can create at our highest level and are most likely to get back an outcome that is the likeness to our pure intentions.

On the way to becoming your authentic self (of the soul), you may have to part with some “relationships” which are a distraction to your process. Each person may be distracted by a different type of “relationship” and no experience is necessarily better nor worse. If needed, part with them graciously; be grateful for what they contributed to your process and keep that light between you two.

Confidence is the ability to “stand tall” in public (any forum) as your true (soul)self without the need for outside validation to feel good about yourself.
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
Be clear-eyed about the true details and stand on higher ground to not get caught up in the “confusion” around you. If you need to, then address it from your higher perspective to put your outcome on the higher path where it is “greener” and “healthier” for you, as some issues can only be solved from beneath the surface of that which is responsible for same and are out of our control.

Be true to your core values and you will eventually find your “matching place”. Don’t compromise your values to feel that sense of belonging as not everyone will understand or love you.
Our love to self should be so big that it is not affected by who doesn’t love us and still has the capacity to love them anyway. That’s the level of love we owe to ourselves and it’s very freeing.
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
As an empowered soul, you put yourself on your own pedestal which can only be reached by being in your truth.
You choose to make conscious decisions, verified by higher Divine guidance brought by way of one’s intuition or other visible signs, and executed with pure intentions and are grateful for what manifests.
You choose to correct the underlying cause of any action that was made unconsciously, fully owning the consequences of those that resulted in missteps without condemning one’s self as “bad”.
You know that your every experience is a chance to evolve which sometimes comes wrapped in “bad” packaging.
You are aligned with a higher consciousness and inner peace so everything is resolved with ease.

Feeling at home with yourself or authenticity is a “trueness and comfort” that allows you to accept, embrace and unconditionally love your many aspects – while working to lovingly integrate your shadow aspects to be at your full potential.
From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Sometimes our action will inspire others to “up their game”, i.e., improve the quality of what they are doing. Sometimes our action will trigger others by bringing forth issues that need to be addressed. This goes both ways and it’s our right what we choose to do with this. An empowered soul would choose to evolve from this interaction, either way, by recognizing that we are interconnected.

Shadow work helps us to love the part of us that feels rejected or feels “bad” especially when exposed to others. Every part of us has its place so working to accept and integrate that part that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love which helps with our inner peace and with reaching our full potential.
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
“Anger from anyone in response to you exercising your right” is not an acceptable response. We may encounter this from our outer world in one or some of its forms. Don’t let this harsh anger energy prevent you from amicably pursuing what’s meant for you or what is your right. That’s also part of taking care of yourself, your responsibility to yourself.
