Have you been waiting for your dream life to find you?  Newsflash, that's not how this works!  Ella shares her own baptism of sorts as she is finally able to acknowledge what kept her from going after the life she visualized for herself.
Notes:
Unpacking fear: you can't take it with you on this journey.

Doing what I had never seen done before
Stepping away from what was comfortable
The unlimited opportunities
Meeting people who may want to harm me
Never making it back home

Choosing the shore: Why did you stay

Familiarity and examples
Proving people wrong
Self-doubt, self-hatred, insecurity, inferiority complex
I didn't know what I already knew

Life on the shore: What did you do

College, marriage, career, children
Suburban lifestyle (trap and pitfalls)
Work, vacation, children's activities, shared friends
safety and security

Unexpected high tide: When it's not safe and secure anymore

Loss of job and income
Health issues
Repossession, foreclosure, bankruptcy
depression, anxiety, despair, hopelessness

The tide recedes: I'm farther out in the water

Gain a different perspective
Realize my own strength
Found different people
Learned to trust what's inside me to guide me

Wade in the Water (song performed by The Moses Hogan Singers)

Reconnect with my Enchanted Beast
Practiced gratitude, forgiveness, and ritual
Acknowledge, deal with, and release anything and anyone undermining my peace of mind and joy.
Acknowledge, deal with, and release anything and anyone undermining my peace of mind and joy.
