Have you ever wondered about the distinction between being a Lightworker and a Light Warrior? These terms have gained popularity within spiritual communities, describing individuals who actively contribute to raising the collective vibration, aiming to bring positive change to the world.
But what is the difference between the two? And why does it matter as you seek to fulfill your soul’s assignment?
Understanding the Call
If you are feeling a strong pull to understand your purpose and your soul’s assignment, your Higher Self or guides are likely waking you up at this time of your life to help you kickstart your mission.
This journey is not for the faint of heart! It requires faith, trust, and a firm belief in yourself to step into the unknown without a clear picture of the outcome.
Well, you may have a vision of the outcome, but the HOW, the WHY, and the WHAT may be vague (been there!).
It’s helpful to know if you are a Lightworker, or a Light Warrior when it comes to answering your call so you know how to nurture your body, mind, and soul when it comes to taking each baby step on your journey and knowing where to focus your energy for the most impact.
Deciphering Lightworkers
Think of Lightworkers as the radiant souls among us, spreading warmth and positivity in various forms.
When I think of a Lightworker, I think of Mother Theresa’s empathy and understanding of the importance of treating others with dignity and personal connection. But this is a well-known example and overlooks the everyday lightworker, shining their light in all occupations and lifestyles.
Lightworkers can be anyone —from energy healers to teachers, doctors to artists, or even the friendly shuttle bus driver you encounter during your day. I once met such a driver in Laguna Beach. Despite battling cancer, his spirit remained so infectious, bringing a smile to each face that boarded his shuttle.
Lightworkers infuse their surroundings with light, often through their mere presence, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
Spotting a Light Warrior
On the other hand, recognizing a Light Warrior might require a keener eye. They often operate in the shadows, stirring action and awareness through subtle nudges or provocative initiatives.
You might encounter them championing causes on social media or standing firm against injustice.
Light Warriors often challenge the status quo, urging us to confront uncomfortable truths and effect meaningful change.
While their methods may seem assertive, their underlying mission remains to usher in a new era of consciousness and harmony.
When I think of a Light Warrior, I think of the paraphrased famous quote from Joan of Arc saying, “I am not afraid. I was born to do this” because though she faced surmountable odds, her belief that it was her divine mission compelled her to carry out her vision.
The Crucial Role of Light Warriors
Contrary to popular belief, Light Warriors aren’t confined to traditional spiritual or healing roles. They can emerge from any walk of life, fueled by a deep sense of purpose and a burning desire for transformation.
Consider the TikToker spearheading a boycott against corporate greed, or the activist rallying against regressive policies.
These are modern-day warriors, bravely navigating the chaos of our times to pave the way for a brighter future. Speaking up when it would be easier to stay silent, putting themselves into the spotlight for the greater good, even when they’re uncomfortable.
Embracing Your Calling
Regardless of whether you resonate more with the archetype of a Lightworker or a Light Warrior, answering your inner calling can ease the sense of urgency that you must do “something” and help you align to a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
It’s about stepping into your power, whether that means spreading light through your presence or catalyzing change through action.
Both are needed, all are welcome.
Each of us has a unique role to play in the grand scheme of things, and honoring that role is key to living a purposeful life.
Remember
As you continue on your journey of self-discovery and service, remember the importance of staying committed to your path. Whether you’re embodying the qualities of a Lightworker or a Light Warrior, you won’t regret throwing your hat in the ring to help shape a brighter future.
Let your authenticity shine!

Ever since the book, the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, there seems to be this gold standard in entrepreneurship that the goal is the freedom to travel and live your life while your business practically operates itself from the influx of all the passive income.
I want to talk about this!
Because there are many factors at play here and the risk is that you decide to pursue a soul-led, passion-fueled endeavor but when you find yourself working 80 hours a week as an entrepreneur instead of this elusive four, you think you’re doing something wrong.
Is the Dream Sustainable?
Let me tell you. I have been co-creating with entrepreneurs from their copywriting to their content, to their brand strategy and buzz plans, and I have yet to see ANYONE work a 4-hour workweek! They may work long weeks and then take vacations, but make no mistake about it, work is getting done to get them there.
If you READ the book, you will also find that SOMEONE is working those hours, it’s just not the author. The book is about outsourcing and leveraging your knowledge.
So there are more than 4 hours of work that need to be done each week to run a successful and profitable business but Ferriss is about efficiency, leveraging your work in the form of passive or residual income, and outsourcing when you can at a lower cost so you can have the freedom lifestyle you desire.
The 4-Hour Workweek is a Myth!!!
Which is why I want to talk about this because I’ve come to realize that so many new entrepreneurs set this extremely-hard-to-attain metric as their measure of how well they’re doing and it often leads to a lot of heartbreak and broken dreams because that kind of outsourcing and proficiency in your business comes with experience, an in-depth understanding of who you serve and what they want from you, and a OK-ness with having free time on your hands.
If you don’t yet have clarity in your business and know how to convert prospective clients to buyers, it’s OK. You will get there and it may take time, trial and error, and effort.
It’s better to measure your success in terms of moving the needle forward in your business and gaining momentum over how many hours per week it takes to do this.
Not everyone is ready to manage a team, outsource and can afford to pay others right from the beginning, and let’s be honest, it can be fun to work at your own business when you become your own boss which will make it hard to manifest the 4-hours only per week anyway.
Give yourself time and explore whether or not “free time” is the only measure of your success.
Who wouldn’t want free time? Let’s talk about this.
It sounds so good to say you want a freedom lifestyle and that you don’t want to work. But is that really true?
Is the goal to sit on a beach all day every day or is there more to it?
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with travel and luxury, but what I’ve found with the clients I serve is that they are trying to make an impact.
They love teaching techniques to support someone’s nervous system, they enjoy sharing tips on manifestation and self-worth and are passionate about encouraging people to go after their best lives.
They may unlock health struggles, release energy blocks, foster community, or share mindset shifts that bring a more positive outcome in the workplace.
Working 4 hours is NOT really what it’s about if they stop and think about it.
Instead, it’s about sharing their wisdom, making an impact, and hopefully leaving the planet a little better off than how they found it.
More recently, it’s also become about being confident in the chaos and leading through challenging times when the world looks explosive and corrupt – and how to find footing and navigate that and then help others do the same!
I’ve encountered so many entrepreneurs who think they want the 4-hour workweek but honestly, if they really stopped to think about it they are creators, teachers, and healers at heart and enjoy spending time doing those things.
Redefining Success: What Matters Most to You?
What most people are likely saying when they say they want to work less, is that they want to feel aligned to their soul purpose. They want to feel like they are making a difference, that their work has value, and that they feel good about showing up every day to their career or business.
Most people actually can’t work just 4-hours per week without getting restless and going stir-crazy!
Take my husband for example. He would be thrilled to surf every day at lunch but beyond that, he can’t sit still! I’m always saying “Just sit down” so we can watch one show together but it’s hard for him to relax – even on vacation.
So would he be doing something else if we could travel unlimitedly? Maybe. But I think he would be bored after a few months and be ready to work with a team and contribute again because he seems to really enjoy that.
Bottom line, we all think we want to work less, but is it really more about spending our days doing what we love instead?
Let’s Reframe the Conversation
If you had all the money in the world, what would you do? Is it travel? Is it start a non-profit? Is it help the Earth? Is it paint, draw, photograph, or create?
Thinking about why you want the 4-hour workweek will help you know if you want a business where you manage several people to have that kind of time off (some people hate managing people!), or if there’s another business venture out there for you where you do what you love full-time.
Because there IS a difference!!!
The Truth About Passive Income
In any case, let’s stop this idea that we all need a 4-hour workweek because it’s making new entrepreneurs feel like there’s not a WHOLE bunch of work upfront that goes into attaining that.
I remember when I bought a blogging course from Create & Go because their six-figure blogger lifestyle looked so appealing. When they shared what it took to achieve that – they had both quit their jobs, moved into a free home with money saved, and worked 17-hour days eating only eggs and rice for months – well it was an eye opener for me.
That “passive” income was actually very active, head-down, work-hard income. This doesn’t mean they weren’t doing what they loved and had made a career out of it, it just means that it took TIME to achieve those results and keep them up.
In their case, it allowed them to travel with a “wi-fi” tribe of other entrepreneurs who worked remotely and got to see the world. But the keyword there is “wi-fi”, they still were working but had redefined what that looked like for them.
Work can be fulfilling, but it depends on how that looks for you! Is it expansive feeling or restrictive?
It’s like that expression, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life again”. You’re still working, but hopefully, you can do it in such a way that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Perhaps even answering your soul’s calling along the way?
In any case, the 4-Hour workweek as described by Ferriss is a MYTH! People get rich, sell businesses and retire – but they don’t get that way working only 4 hours a week without outsourcing any of it.
So if you are craving a lifestyle with more financial freedom, just know that it will take time to set up, gain momentum, and put the pieces in place to get there. Don’t give up too soon!
What are your thoughts?
How about you? What does success look like for you? Is it time to be creative? Free time? Vacationing? Working remotely? Working with a great set of co-workers at a job where you feel valued?

Have you ever woken up feeling a deep connection to something unseen, a sense of wonder about the universe, and a burning desire to unlock your intuition? That’s the magic of spiritual awakening! But amidst the excitement, a nagging question might pop up: “Can I really ask my spirit guides anything?”
Let me tell you, when I first tapped into my clairaudience (hearing spiritual messages), I felt like I was on a whirlwind rollercoaster. Everything was new, and questions swirled around me. One of the biggest ones? Do my spirit guides get bothered by everyday stuff? Should I save my questions for the truly momentous occasions, the life-changing crossroads?
Back then, I worried that asking about “petty” concerns – daily frustrations, minor roadblocks – felt beneath their divine attention. It was almost like I pictured them with a celestial to-do list, and my problems wouldn’t even make the cut!
YOU CAN HEAR ME TALK ABOUT THIS HEAR TOO:
Watch: Are You Bothering Your Spirit Guides with “Petty” Problems?
But as I ventured deeper on my spiritual path, a beautiful truth unfolded: there’s absolutely no hierarchy of importance when it comes to reaching out to your spirit guides. They’re not cosmic concierges, prioritizing existential questions over rush hour traffic jams. Their purpose is pure love and support, guiding you towards clarity, wisdom, and alignment with your truest self.
So, whether you’re wrestling with a major life decision or simply need help finding your keys (because hey, even spirit guides know losing your keys can throw off your whole day!), their wisdom and guidance are always there for you.
One of the most liberating moments on my journey was realizing I didn’t have to wait for some grand event to connect with my guides. I learned to embrace an open dialogue, inviting their guidance into every aspect of my life, big or small.
Now, I see them not just as companions for the extraordinary moments, but as my steady allies in the everyday stuff too.
Are you asking your spirit guides for help? Are you saving it for the really big stuff? I’d love to hear about it!
Have you ever heard the advice that you shouldn’t buy a house or sign any legal contracts during Mercury Retrograde? It’s a common belief in astrology circles and among spiritual communities, but what if it’s holding you back from amazing opportunities?
In this video, I’m busting the myth that Mercury Retrograde means hitting pause on your life and sharing what you can do instead.
Watch Now!:
Why do people avoid agreements during mercury retrograde?
For years, I’ve heard the same thing: avoid big decisions and agreements when Mercury appears to be moving backward. But let’s be real, can we really put everything on hold for weeks at a time? Especially when it comes to something as important as buying a house?
The truth is, Mercury Retrograde is often associated with miscommunications and delays. But that doesn’t mean you’re destined for disaster if you sign a contract during this time.
Here are a few tips to support you during retrograde is you’re jumping on a special opportunity:
Be extra cautious and detail-oriented.
Double-check everything, from emails to documents, and make sure communication is clear on all sides.
A little extra effort can go a long way in preventing misunderstandings.
Think of it like this: you wouldn’t ditch your relationships just because Mercury Retrograde might cause some communication hiccups, right?
So, the next time a great opportunity comes your way during Retrograde, don’t let fear hold you back. Follow your intuition, and take action with a bit more attention to detail.
In my own experience, I bought my house during Mercury Retrograde and it turned out to be the best decision ever! We got a fantastic price and amazing interest rates – something that would be hard to find today’s market.

Hey there, fellow Spiritual Entrepreneurs and Conscious Professionals! Ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels in the world of marketing, and wonder why your message isn’t hitting home like you know it should? Well, let’s dive into the meaning of Gene Key 33 and uncover why the shadow of forgetting might be putting a damper on your magnetic messaging.
Note: Even if you don’t have this Gene Key in your Hologenetic Profile, all the spheres apply to us if you contemplate them.
Gene Key 33 is a fascinating journey from the shadow of Forgetting to the Siddhi of Revelation through the gift of Mindfulness. Richard Rudd, in his contemplative book “The 64 Ways,” delves into the concept of forgetting not as mere absent-mindedness but as a failure to embrace mindfulness in our daily lives. It’s about getting caught up in the chaos and letting those precious moments slip through our fingers without a second thought. It’s also about not taking time to savor and reflect and really embody your day.
Your Potential Can Be Dimmed by This Shadow
What is interesting though, for your life and for your magnetic messaging, is that within this shadow lies the key to unlocking your true potential! Through mindfulness, reflection, intention, and awareness, we can transform the shadow of forgetting into creating content in the higher more magnetic frequency of revelation (the Siddhi frequency) that attracts your Soul Clients.
Let me share a bit of my own journey with you to help this make sense. Years ago, long before I stumbled upon the wisdom of Gene Keys, I embarked on a blogging adventure called “Mind Over Messy.” It was my way of navigating the messiness of life with a touch of mindfulness and a sprinkle of spirituality. Little did I know that those early experiences would lay the groundwork for my encounter with Gene Key 33.
But here’s where things get interesting. As I delved deeper into my spiritual awakening, I found myself hesitating to share certain aspects of my journey, particularly when it came to my family and my kids. I’m an open book but they had the potential to want privacy as they grew. I grappled with the idea of putting their experiences under the spotlight, unsure of how they would feel about it in the long run.
However, it was during this period of introspection that I received a powerful insight: the importance of documenting my spiritual evolution. My intuition whispered that as I awakened, I would integrate these learnings into my life, gradually forgetting their explicit details—a phenomenon that Rudd aptly describes as the shadow of forgetting.
Fast forward to today, and I find myself leading a community of spiritual entrepreneurs, conscious professionals, and energy healers on a journey of self-discovery and growth. But amidst the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship, I noticed something peculiar: a forgetting of natural tendencies and gifts —the shadow of Gene Key 33.
The Siddhi of Revelation
And that’s where the Siddhi of Revelation comes into play. You see, my friend, the insights, ideas, and intuitive downloads that we tend to forget are often the ones we’re meant to share with the world. It’s all part of the revelation process—the unveiling of our true gifts and talents. It’s what makes you magnetic and it’s likely what your Soul Clients need help with the most. So those things I felt called to write down, NOW are what my Soul Clients need! I’m spending time remembering and reconnecting with those lessons and knowledge because I did indeed integrate it and stop talking about it. My clients too are saying “I think people need to know this! I just assumed they knew it!”
So, if you’re finding yourself stuck in the shadows of forgetting, know that you’re not alone. Embrace mindfulness, cultivate self-awareness, and let the wisdom of Gene Key 33 guide you on your path to revelation.
Remember those natural gifts you have and don’t think “People already know this. They don’t need me to teach them!” Because it’s simply not true.
It’s a little easier to explain in video if you’d prefer to watch here:
The Gift is in Remembering
You are here for a reason and those things you “forget” are at the shadow frequency. The gift is in remembering and that can be as simple and bringing your journal to the beach, the infrared sauna, or with your morning cup of tea.
And remember, my friend, we’re all in this together, uncovering the hidden treasures of our souls one key at a time. So let’s continue to contemplate, explore, and share our gifts with the world—because that’s where true magic happens.
Let me know if you’re using your natural gifts to help your Soul Clients? Have you been assuming they don’t need help with it? Please share your thoughts in the comments!

About the Gene Keys:
Richard Rudd wrote the Gene Keys in 2002. It took him 7 years to write and he says he was transformed as he did. He was a student of Ra Uru Hu (the founder of Human Design) and taught Human Design when he had his own mystical experience emerging from what he called a “field of limitless light” that lasted 3 days and 3 nights. He emerged with the wisdom of The Gene Keys. The Gene Keys are a contemplative tool to unlock your path of gentle transformation and prosperity.
These are my personal contemplations of the Gene Keys and Human Design after living them and helping my clients transform their shadows too so they can uplevel to their full potential.
