When You Stop Asking: Your full 'YES' is the power and the validation
22 Plays17 days ago
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t lack of clarity
but the habit of waiting for someone else to say yes or approve, or validate, even if it’s subconscious?
What happens when you give your power away to external validation, approval from partners, mentors, institutions, or the crowd, and how that quiet surrender disconnects you from your inner authority.
I speak from lived experience, from years in roles that rewarded certainty and obedience, and someone, like you, lured by views and clicks and likes and social proof, to the moments I chose to trust my inner knowing and expand beyond what felt safe or familiar.
This is a conversation about reclaiming intuition, self-trust, and worth from the inside out. About learning to move when the answer is already in your body, before permission arrives.
This is about you honoring your YES and what happens when you do, for real.
Listen with your body. Let your dream speak. Make a decision.
Oh and share this with someone you know could use this power in their lives right now.

Divine Validation and Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
You are creating from within. You're creating from within because it was divinely downloaded to you and it was divinely downloaded to you for a reason. And if it was divinely downloaded to you for a reason, it's already been validated.
00:00:14
Speaker
Hold on. Your reception of the download is the validation. Welcome to Freed and Powered Up. Here is where conscious female leaders who are taking their exit from the overly dominant male patriarchal energy, however you experienced it, can really start to break free from the energy that keeps us back from being who we came here to be and leaving the legacy we came here to leave.
00:00:40
Speaker
the fear, the triggers, self-sabotage, and limiting behaviors and beliefs without all of it. Every episode, I'm going to connect you to your inner power and awaken the divine feminine within you.
00:00:53
Speaker
I'm your host and your sister, Latoya Zavala.
Sacral Chakra Event Announcement
00:00:56
Speaker
Let's go.
00:01:04
Speaker
And today we're going to talk about something super, super, super enormously powerful. It dropped into my spirit today, and I'm actually going to share why. um And it dropped in my spirit, not just to share, but it dropped into my spirit for me, right? It dropped into my spirit to quick energy shift and realign myself to something something that I'm creating for next year. And so it was like, you know, I really, really, really wanted to share this with you. But first, before I share it,
00:01:35
Speaker
October 10th, I'm doing the free event. um We're going to work on the sacral chakra. So that's the chakra right beneath your navel. This is the womb space and it's called reclaim your womb portal.
00:01:48
Speaker
And I, and it's named that because your womb space, that's the center of creativity. It's the, the center of pleasure and joy as you bring forth into the world, right? Not just physically, but as you bring your creations, as you bring your,
00:02:02
Speaker
um whatever drops into your spirit as you bring it forth into the world, that womb space is that energy. And sometimes, not sometimes, very often it gets blocked or it gets stagnant because of ah the way that we experience attacks on or defining of our womanhood, right? So that space is that divine feminine space. And so some beliefs that we hold about who we are, about our identity, about what we can bring forth in the world, about our potential, about our worthiness is held in that space. And so um it's my it's my gift,
00:02:41
Speaker
in this time, in this space, what's going on in our world, um energetically, it dropped into me to give this as a gift. um I will be teaching ah more on the sacral than I've ever taught before. So I will be teaching, but it is not a workshop. We are going to do energetic work. We are going to go into a meditative space. We will do some group Reiki together and we will be clearing. We will be letting go. We will be cleansing. We will be reactivating that chakra.
Tapping Sessions and Money Frequency Game
00:03:12
Speaker
And so you may experience um a clarity that you've never had before. You may experience a release that you haven't had before. um It's going to be a very beautiful and powerful space. So that's Friday at 12 ET.
00:03:25
Speaker
If you're like, Latoya, I really need, I really, really want this. um But the time isn't right for you. um Message me and we'll talk about what that replay looks like. So that's Friday, 12 p.m. ET.
00:03:39
Speaker
Tuesday, October 14th, I know a few of you have messaged me and told me you miss my tapping sessions. I know that I bring... my experience and um how it downloads to me into my tapping. And a few of you told me, Latoya, I miss tapping with you. So in the Awakening Lounge, which is a community that I've created, i will be doing monthly tapping again. And so October 14th is the first tapping session we will be doing in the Awakening Lounge. If you're interested in that, oh, I will drop the link for the Awakening Lounge um momentarily.
00:04:14
Speaker
And November 1st, you may have seen the post I made. November 1st, I'm going to do a 44-day money frequency game. You can call it a challenge if you'd like. If that is what juicifies your soul, you can call it a challenge. um But for me, it's a game because we get to reintroduce pleasure and fun, right? So connecting all things, connecting the sacral chakra back into your wealth identity, your wealth consciousness. Yeah.
00:04:40
Speaker
right Getting to the core energy behind your wealth consciousness, your prosperity, your power, your identity. And so it's a 44 day game that we'll be doing. I'll be doing some teaching. We'll be going through um a book, the principles of a book together and we'll be um enjoying ourselves as we...
00:05:00
Speaker
remember who we are as wealth consciousness. So that's the 44 day. um If you're interested, that's also going to be housed in the awakening
Importance of Internal Yes for Manifestation
00:05:08
Speaker
lounge. We'll start November 1st. It's going to be hella fun.
00:05:13
Speaker
It's going to be hella fun as you reconnect to the money frequency that you are. Okay. Let's talk about the topic of the day. So the power of saying yes, the power of saying yes.
00:05:24
Speaker
Let me say this. Let me say this. Most often, ah more often than not, what happens in the slowing down of our creative energy, in the slowing down of the balance of that, of what everybody's calling the softening, right? the The divine feminine energy and the balance of the divine masculine energy where you are acting in your purpose, right? In our circles, what I call your purpose in motion is your yes.
00:05:58
Speaker
And I'm just going to say it plain.
00:06:02
Speaker
Most of us are saying yes to everybody else but ourselves. And I'm going to say, I'm going to go deeper, right? Because that's what I do. i'm the I'm energy mastery coach, right? I'm talking about the energy behind the yes. I'm not talking about self-care, though that's important. And I'm not talking about self-love, though that's important. I'm talking about the truth of saying yes to your dream.
00:06:24
Speaker
That's what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the ability for something to download into your spirit. Okay. I know what that feels like. And the idea came, the idea for the book, the idea for the, what you might call the the lead generation, the idea for your next video, the idea for um your next offer, the idea for whatever it is you want to bring to the world. The idea comes and And you're excited and you feel good. And some of you, you even get it all down. It's all down in your notebook or it's all down in your in your files, right? You got it. You get it in there, right? And then you even do some energetic tools, right? You might be journaling about it. You might be visualizing it, which activates the RAS. It's important. You might be monitoring about it. But the truth is you have not said yes to the dream.
00:07:16
Speaker
You have not said to dream.
00:07:20
Speaker
What are we talking about? You have not said yes. And some of you who are still connected to um a faith base, you said yes to who you consider the power to be, but you have not said yes to the dream.
00:07:38
Speaker
You have not said yes to the vision. Some of you are hands open wide. And I'm not saying I'm not, I'm not casting judgment because this was me this morning. Hands open wide. i receive, I'm ready to go, but you haven't said yes in your spirit.
00:07:56
Speaker
Listen carefully. You haven't said yes in your spirit.
00:08:06
Speaker
And the reason is, there are few reasons. One of the biggest, and this has come out several times in the with um with client conversations and mentorship conversations over the past two weeks, you are wanting others to validate the yes before you say yes in your spirit.
00:08:29
Speaker
Before you say yes to yourself, before you say yes to your divine dream, before you say yes to your gift, before you say yes to the offering that came from within.
Overcoming Validation Seeking
00:08:41
Speaker
In in in my circles in the Awakening Lounge, we'll be talking about it. The Goddess Collective. We talk about... You are creating from within. You're creating from within because it was divinely downloaded to you and it was divinely downloaded to you for a reason. And if it was that divinely downloaded to you for a reason, it's already been validated.
00:09:01
Speaker
Hold on. Your reception of the download is the validation. Wait a minute. to say it third time for your for your subconscious. Your reception, okay? The fact that you heard it, you saw it, whatever clair you have, you felt it, right? Clairvoyance, clairsentience, however however you so you're spiritually gifted and and designed, it was downloaded to you.
00:09:26
Speaker
That is your validation. But oftentimes we're waiting for an external validation and there's nothing wrong with that. Let me hear, hear me clearly.
00:09:37
Speaker
I am not judging you for that. What I am saying is the slowing down of your manifestation, which really just means the outworking of it in this 3D life, the slowing down, the stagnation, and sometimes the stopping is because you are waiting for that external validation. You're waiting for what was told to you, what was taught to you is validation. The views, the numbers, the the subscribers, the followers, the the amount of money coming in. You are waiting for someone to say, yes, that's the right idea or yes, that's the right framework or yes, that's the right form. You're waiting for this external validation when you are the validation.
00:10:23
Speaker
Some of y'all are missing this and i and I understand it. But if it's for you, it's for you.
00:10:32
Speaker
You have not said yes to your dream. You've written it down. You've journaled about it. You've posted about it. You've invited into.
00:10:43
Speaker
ah You have even done some research. You have done the research about speaking on stage, about getting the next TEDx talk. you You have journaled about the next offer and you have calculated and you have gone into the mental space of the prices and the this and the that. But you have not internally in your spirit said yes
00:11:09
Speaker
I was doing the same because I was wanting the external validation. i was needing it. So I am getting the download and I'm hiring coaches and I'm, and I'm buying workshops. And you know what, you know what, I came to the conclusion and I've said this to my family. I said, you know what happens to me? i am paying a lot of money to confirm what I already know.
00:11:34
Speaker
Because I hadn't said yes to my spirit. I hadn't said yes in my spirit to my dream, to my divine download, to ah what it is that I'm here to give, to my mission. I have not said yes. And then I made the choice. I made the decision. And let me let me say this also. I am understanding that that decision is not always easy.
00:12:00
Speaker
I am understanding that. That's why I do what I do. That's why I'm doing the tapping session on Tuesday. That's why I'm doing the free event on Friday to clear some of this negativity and the toxic baggage that we're carrying
Clearing Blockages and Embracing Commitment
00:12:12
Speaker
in our creative space, in the womb space. It is a portal.
00:12:18
Speaker
That's why I'm doing that. I understand that there are levels and levels and levels of projections and indoctrinations that cause you to doubt yourself, to doubt your gift, to doubt what you hear, what you saw.
00:12:31
Speaker
I understand this. And yet I'm still wanting, I'm lodging it in your subconscious for you to hear that it is important for you to say yes first.
00:12:43
Speaker
Say yes. So it dropped into my spirit. to i'm I'm doing something bigger than I've ever done before. It's happening next year. I'm being cryptic for a reason because I want it to roll out in the way that I want it to roll out.
00:12:59
Speaker
hey in the way that it wants to be rolled out. And yesterday, as I'm co-creating, i get an email and the email was jarring. It was not what I was expecting.
00:13:13
Speaker
And I started recoiling in my in my world, in my circles, that's what we call it. you You move forward, you're taking steps and then something presents a fear or a worry or a doubt or a belief that will stop you. And it came up in me and I started recoiling.
00:13:33
Speaker
I started recoiling.
00:13:36
Speaker
And then I heard, you have not said yes. You have not said yes to this dream. Because when you say yes,
00:13:45
Speaker
then you, when you say yes, hold on, let's go here. When you say yes
00:13:59
Speaker
What you are worried about, you move in solution. So let me backtrack. There are a few questions that we hold in our spirit that block the yes.
00:14:14
Speaker
They reverse the yes. Okay. They mask the yes. Cause sometimes we think we're saying yes, but here's what happens. We say yes to the dream and then we hold the question. What if you may never speak it to somebody, but you're holding it in your body. What if And that what if doesn't go to the positive, it goes to the negative. What if it doesn't work? What if nobody comes? What if they don't pay? What if it doesn't come on time? Right? So that question, the what if that's going in the downward spiral is a direct opposite of your yes. It means you haven't said yes.
00:14:48
Speaker
You haven't said yes. Because all the answers to that what if then reverses the yes. It it it makes the yes obsolete. It makes the yes conditional,
00:15:02
Speaker
if not obsolete. Yes, what if? So then it's not yes, then it's maybe. Okay, so that's one, what if. The second is how.
00:15:15
Speaker
You think you're saying yes, and then you think I've said yes, but now I'm stuck in the mental body. which is something we work on extensively in the goddess collective. You get stuck in the mental body and then you're like, but how, how are they going to come? How am I going to let them know? How's it going to happen on time? How's it going to, how, how, how, how? There's nothing wrong with logistics.
00:15:39
Speaker
What doesn't help is when you're stuck in the mental body and you're not in your yes, because your yes then unlocks the how. It does so energetically. It does so through the reticular activation system. It does so through quantum creation. We know these things scientifically now.
00:15:57
Speaker
So it will start unlocking who is going to be in place. It will start unlocking the opportunities. It will start unlocking and help you see differently and help you put the how in place. But when you get stuck first in the how before you said yes, then you are in, you are an opposing energy.
00:16:15
Speaker
You think you said yes and that you're stuck in the how, but no, no. You, now you're stuck in the how you've negated the yes.
00:16:27
Speaker
So there's one, if what if, number two is how, and number three, I just need. Ooh, I love that one.
00:16:37
Speaker
That one sets me on fire. Wait one sec, goddess, before we finish this delicious podcast episode. Let's chat. I know you, you've been doing a lot because you know you're here to have hella impact. So you've been doing the therapy, the YouTube manifesting practices, the business coaches, the mindset coaches and books and podcasts.
00:17:00
Speaker
And there's a spot that all that stuff is just not hitting. It's not getting to the knowing and the being in your power, in your own authority over your time, your body, your emotions, and your money. Knowing without a doubt your purpose and
Challenges in Saying Yes to Your Mission
00:17:14
Speaker
when you're acting in it.
00:17:16
Speaker
knowing without a doubt how to be infinite potentiality and manifest all the damn wealth and peace and love that you're worthy of. I know you and I have the perfect experiences for you. There is no other place like the Phoenix Goddess Collective. You're going to embody, elevate and emanate your magic, your God energy, your truth and your legacy.
00:17:41
Speaker
We'll be diving into your soul path alignment through Vedic astrology, energy mastery practices, life transforming coaching, and all with an aligned sisterhood to hold, celebrate, and enhance your experience.
00:17:55
Speaker
Book a call with me with the link in the show notes and let's get you started. just need... ah Because someone I'm mentoring, we went through that just two days ago. I just need. Yes, but I just need.
00:18:10
Speaker
no No. Yes. Okay, what's the next step? What's the next step? What's the next step? Because every yes unlocks the next step, which is the how. It is the blueprint. Every yes unlocks the next step. Yes. Okay. You're going to start knowing intuitively. You're going to make the moves, which unlocks the next move, which unlocks the next move. But you are stuck in the thought of the how,
00:18:38
Speaker
And you cannot be in the motion. Purpose in motion is what we talk about. Purpose in motion. Purpose in motion. It unlocks the how. It unlocks the whatever it is you think.
00:18:49
Speaker
m It unlocks what you actually need. Because a lot of times what you actually need to carry out the thing is not what you thought you needed. Well, let me say that again.
00:19:01
Speaker
Oftentimes what you think you need to carry out the dream, to carry out the mission, turns out not to be what you needed at all.
00:19:13
Speaker
But you won't know that until your purpose in motion, until you say yes in your spirit. Not yes on social media.
00:19:26
Speaker
Your spirit matters. What quantum is teaching you, the observer matters. You matter.
00:19:36
Speaker
Say yes in here. to you.
00:19:41
Speaker
What's your mission? My mission, my mission, and I've said it a couple of years ago, it is to reach a million women we to unlock their freedom, for them to be spiritually, emotionally, and energetically free. That's my mission. That's my mission. And so I get to say, yes.
00:20:01
Speaker
The challenge is going to come. The obstacle, the learning lesson, The trip, yeah, I collapsed down into this 3D on this earth in this lifetime to experience that human experience.
Integrating Vision and Mission
00:20:17
Speaker
But I say yes to the mission. I say yes to the event that's getting ready to happen next year. It's bigger than anything I've ever done. And so I'm going to encounter things I've never encountered before. And that every opportunity, I get the opportunity to say yes first.
00:20:36
Speaker
First, I say yes.
00:20:43
Speaker
The yes will allow you to be open, allowing, and aware. Open, allowing, and aware.
00:20:57
Speaker
When you're locked up in the mental body going in circles and circles and circles, it's more difficult for you to see.
00:21:06
Speaker
You start closing in.
00:21:10
Speaker
And then solutions might be all around you, but you you don't have the awareness because you're locked in in your own mental circulation.
00:21:20
Speaker
So what do we do? we say yes first in the spirit. And like I said, I'm fully understanding that there are layers to that. That's why I do tapping.
00:21:31
Speaker
So my invitation is clear the energy. Clear the energy. Detach.
00:21:43
Speaker
Detach from the negative beliefs. Detach from... You got to get underneath. What's the belief? What's the belief? What's the belief that's causing you not to say yes to yourself, to your dream, to your vision?
00:21:58
Speaker
Right? So, yeah. If it's for you and you think you're called to therapy, go do that. If it's, you know, go out in nature. Be in silence. I meditate.
00:22:10
Speaker
I do Reiki. I do tapping. That's what helps me. But continue on your journey and your exploration to find what works for you so that you can clear that energy and come fully into your yes so that you can be open, you can allow, and you can be aware. you're gonna ah When you're open and you allow and you're aware, you're going to move through those what ifs.
00:22:35
Speaker
You're going to move through those hows. You're going to see how things began to be positioned in place for the thing that wants to be outworked. It wants to give life. It wants to uplift the community. It wants to bring light and love through you.
00:22:51
Speaker
It wants to
00:22:56
Speaker
So before ah you know, it's posted, it's written, the email, the calls, you know, the, the, the appointments, the meeting say yes in here.
00:23:07
Speaker
You spend time with this heart. You spend time with the sacral shock. You spend time in here. You spend time with the dream. You spend time with the vision.
00:23:18
Speaker
You spend time with why it was downloaded to you. You spend time with how you are uniquely positioned and empowered and designed and experienced to move in this.
00:23:34
Speaker
Spend time with that and move in. your Feel in, integrate, embody the yes. You say yes to you first. That's your validation.
00:23:53
Speaker
That's your validation. That's your acceptance.
