And so we learn to be these shapeshifters for the authority figures.

It's a huge transition then to step into our own authority.

A lot of that gets conditioned in school.

A lot of it gets conditioned because of our identity, right?

We're being told explicitly and quietly that we're not the authority.

I think you need another authority to replace it with that's not your ego self.

So whether you think of that as your higher self,

or the calling that's in you.

I like to think of the inner mentor is what we call it in playing big, this really visiting with your older, wiser self, like yourself 20, 30 years out in the future, kind of your inner elder woman.

Joseph Campbell talked about, we're all in the acorn state, but the acorn knows the oak tree that it's trying to become.

So your oak tree self that your being is trying to emerge, grow into, that has to become the authority.

This is your inner mentor.

Oh, sorry.

I'm not.

You get to discover her.

She's real.

Oh, she's there.

This is not something we make with our minds.

Your oak tree is there.

Okay.
