💫Once upon a time, there was an enchanted series, where folk gathered to hear the tales of creators who bravely faced, conquered, and continued to conquer, the demons of fear, thus revealing their magical gifts, skills, and true essence to the world.✨
💫I’ve been sitting with wondrous souls—artists, travelers of distant lands, weavers of words, capturers of light, coaches, practitioners, and wise teachers—each one a character of great inspiration whom I deeply admire.✨
💫In this mystical realm, I believe wholeheartedly that our destined success is but a matter of time, so long as we remain steadfast, follow the nudges of our heart in spite of fear, and keep leaning into the things that bring lightness and joy to our souls.✨

“Bringing color and light to the world by mindfully untangling fairy lights and secretly sprinkling pixie dust.” - Teri-Leigh
One of my favorite things about Substack is the delightful, genuine connections that are made. And frankly, anyone who writes about mindfully untangling fairy lights already has my heart.💫🪄
Teri-Leigh lives, in her own words, “comfortably at the intersection of Grounded Avenue and Woo-Woo Way.”
Her background and credentials are impressive, with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing & Literary Studies and many years in the health and wellness industry tucked into her back pocket, alongside more esoteric learning, such as six-plus years of intensive training in African Shamanism.
Teri-Leigh has honed her lifelong skills in seeing and reading energy to help others feel truly heard and seen, empowering them to take action, celebrate their wins, and repeat the process.
What fear dragons has Teri-Leigh herself slayed? How does she overcome fear?
I hope you enjoy the golden nuggets of wisdom throughout this chat as much as I did.

PS. I first read about Synaesthesia through the gorgeous work of artist Philippa Stanton and you can find her here.
And the full quote from Xavier Dagba:
If you expect your intuition to always "feel safe", odds are it will often remain elusive.
The main intention of your intuition is to expand your awareness and to realign you with truth.
It will feel unsafe if you are afraid of the consequences of embracing truth.
