From Maiden to Queen: I Felt the Shift This Week

This week, something shifted in me.

Not in a loud or dramatic way, but in that quiet, soul-deep kind of way that lets you know you’re never going back to who you used to be.

For so long, I lived in maiden energy.

Not in age, but in mindset. In how I moved, how I loved, how I hoped. I was soft, searching, and full of desire to be understood.

I waited for clarity.

I doubted myself often.

I’d feel everything so deeply and then question whether I had the right to speak on it.

I knew I was powerful, but I was still waiting for permission to fully believe it.

But this week changed me.

Through hard conversations, deep reflection, and long silences I didn’t chase,I met a version of myself I hadn’t stood in before.

A woman who no longer questions if she’s enough because she’s learning that she is.

A woman who no longer pleads to be seen because she sees herself.

A woman who no longer folds to maintain connection because she knows her presence is the offering.

And the wildest part?

People have always seen this woman in me. They’ve called me creative, radiant, funny, unforgettable. They’ve felt something in my energy, even when I couldn’t feel it myself. But I was still moving like the girl who had something to prove.

Now I’m not moving like her anymore.

Not because I don’t love her, but because I’ve outgrown her.

This week taught me that queendom isn’t a crown someone gives you.

It’s a decision you make when you stop apologizing for your voice, your vision, your value.

I’m not performing for worth anymore.

I’m protecting my peace.

I’m trusting my timing.

I’m walking in it now with softness, with power, and with my head held high.

This week, I didn’t just grow. I arrived.

Sincerely Queen Marcy
