Thank you for sharing this with such honesty. Starting over while being watched is something many of us know too well, especially those of us who’ve been placed on pedestals we never asked for. Your words echo the quiet grief and hope of rebuilding without performance. I’ll be here, witnessing this next chapter with care. 🫶🏾✨

Juliet! I always admire your ability to recreate yourself and let us in on that journey! It’s a true calling to allow yourself to embrace the goo phase of transformation and then reimagine yourself back into being! Recent research shows that the butterfly still recalls what the caterpillar became aware of, and you truly show us this is real for us humans. Thank you for all you do! I’m here starting with this new version of my life as well!

Juliet...I have no words for what I feel for you, what you've done for me with your work. Your example has been so steadfast and unwavering, and for years now I've looked to you as living proof of living one's values. I'm so sorry that it's caused so much strife for you to live the life you know is aligned with Source.

I remember eagerly anticipating the release of The Altar Within, then how it deeply changed me and my practice. It's always the first book I recommend when someone asks "how to build a spiritual life."

SOOOOO excited and grateful for the second edition! Thrilled to be an outer planet in your orbit. Please know there is nothing you could do to shake me loose (sorry/not sorry). I truly do love you, Juliet.

Thank you for sharing your story and your coming back to self; rebirth of sorts. Despite the incredible heaviness of all this, you’ve chosen to stand up and stand tall in what lies in your heart. This is no easy feat and I feel we don’t openly acknowledge the weight of this enough. Over the last several years, many of us have been forced to unravel. Deaths of self over and over until we’re on our knees begging it to stop. I feel this has too been your experience but you’re rising from the ashes now. Taking a new breath. Standing rooted where you’re meant to be. Sending so much love! I see you.

So much yessss, Carolina! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful words. Your support. Your care. I truly appreciate you. I’ll be working on an essay to go into these truths because as you mentioned, many of us are being called to change and shift and it’s taking us through an incredibly challenging journey in just a short time. We should talk more on this collectively.

I just preordered the second edition of The Altar Within! Traditional publishing seems like a straightforward game to those who haven’t been in that world, but it can get complicated and infuriating so fast. Wishing you healing and fast rebuilding!
