The Sister Wound

On January 26th 2023 I showed a sister, a woman whom I have never had the pleasure of meeting in person (or even spoken to prior to this) solidarity and support when she publicly shared her truth.

Her truth was expressing how her family was looking for community and it was met with humiliation, alienation, and abuse under the guise of a “conscious community”.

I shared one brief Instagram story showing solidarity, and it was met by someone (I’ve been referring to whoever YOU are as a “minion” for the past few days) “reporting it” to the leader of said “community” and the consequences of this action lead to the removal of a huge financial investment that I made for my business.

I was “reported” by a “sister”.

Someone who sat in circle with me, someone who witnessed my deepest intimate shares.

I was “reported” by a “sister” to a “sister”.

Someone who I at one time called a mentor, a coach, a teacher, and hoped to call a friend, and “sister”.

This is not what community looks like.

This is not what sisterhood looks like.

This is further perpetuating the witch-wound and the sister-wound.

This experience left me to question all of the relationships I have formed since joining that “community”.

I learned a lot of valuable lessons from this experience and for that, I am tremendously grateful, as my experience is a blip compared to others with the same “community”.

I purged my followers and who I am following to remove myself as much as I can from this organization as it is incredibly toxic and is nothing short of a cult.

I am still navigating the best way to share my experience, but for now, I’m leaving this current conversation with this note;

The “relationships” that are paid for are usually temporary, toxic, and leave you feeling icky after.
