Hey Queen! 👑
May’s energy isn’t here to coddle or scold—it’s here to remind you of your power. The 8 of Hearts swept in with a truth we can’t unsee: Healing isn’t a sprint; it’s a rhythm.
The collective trauma load right now? Heavy. And if you’re not careful, you’re adding to it—by people-pleasing, by waiting for others to "fix" you, or by treating your peace like a side hustle instead of your birthright.
The bottomline: You are your own healer. Stop outsourcing the job.
Let’s dive into your May Crown Straightener.
As a reminder, in the monthly Crown Straightener, you will get a brief 'whisper training' based on a card that we pull from our deck. Each month, we will help you focus on what you can do to get your crown on straight so you remember who you are (the universe expressed as a magnificent human, obvi). In your monthly Crown Straightener, you'll get insights, tips, and more to help you take ownership and make the most of your life, shift any stuck energy that is keeping you where you don't want to be and crank up the volume on that whisper so you can reign over your realm.
MAY'S
👑 CROWN STRAIGHTENER 👑
May's card is the Eight of Hearts.
Eight = power / art of the return.
Hearts = love / healing / emotions.
This month’s lesson: Healing thrives on repetition, not heroics. You wouldn’t brush your teeth once and call it done. Why treat your peace that way?
In case you forgot... Your peace is your responsibility—not your partner’s, your kid’s, or that coworker who treats you like an emotional dumpster. The domino effect of dysfunction stops when you:
🛑 Stop over-giving to "fix" others (you’re stealing their journey).
🛑 Stop waiting for a hero (you’re already sovereign).
It's easy to say but not always easy to do so here is your work for the month broken down into digestible chunks...
🤓 Audit your energy leaks. Where are you playing unpaid therapist? Where are you demanding therapy?
🪄Micro-dose your magic. Sync up with your rhythms—tiny, often. Try: A 5-minute walk. One deep breath between meetings. A meme that makes you snort-laugh.
🙌 Let people be. Their wounds are their curriculum. Your job? Stay solid. Watch how their energy adjusts to yours.
May Mantra: I am the source. I am the remedy.
This isn’t selfish—it’s sovereignty. The most selfless act? Stop forcing others to manage your energy (and stop managing theirs).
Crown Straightening Challenge:
📝 Write this down: "I release the need to fix or be fixed. My peace is mine—non-negotiable."
🌿 Choose one micro-practice (a walk, a silly dance, 3 breaths, chakra balancing guided meditation) and commit to it daily. No exceptions.
May Affirmation:
(OPTIONAL: F*ck co-dependency.) I am my own healer. I release the need to control, people-please, or outsource my peace. My energy is sacred, my boundaries are firm, and my worth is not tied to how much I "help" others. 👑✨
This month, the 8 of Hearts proclaims: Take your power back. Start today.
👑✨ Reign on, Queen. ✨👑
