IKE has metamorphosed over the last 3 years. The last time I saw her in 2019 she was sat on messy bedroom floor, depressed and desiring to end life, her thighs black & blue from the BDSM rape she had experienced the night before. One of many. Abuse hidden under the cloak of consent, by individuals feeding off of the souls of disempowered & traumatised young women searching for love and settling for a semblant of validation. Today IKE is wise, grounded, optimistic. She has dreams and goals, a solid plan, a clear purpose, and a desire to bring beauty to the world through her paintings - a series in the name of the triumphant divine feminine. In this episode, we get to explore IKE’s experience, her psyche, the traumas and beliefs that she found in herself that led her to abandon herself in this abusive group of people, and her learnings through this tragic experience that she now decides to view as a gift. Sometimes, the darkness is here to give us the fuel to embrace our purpose and to remember the beauty of life. Such is the story of IKE, a blooming & beautiful high-end medicine painter of the divine feminine beauty. My invitation for this episode is to recognise if you share some of the unhealthy patterns that IKE very openly talks about. Where do you settle for validation and abandon yourself? Or where do you target weaker people so that you can more easily get what you want out of them through manipulation? May we face all of our darkness and find the gold in it, like Isobel did. Such an inspiration. Blessings familia.
