The Power of Your Word: Becoming the Alchemist of Your Life

Do you ever feel like you're drowning in guilt or shame, or like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to step fully into your power?

If that resonates with you, here’s the truth: it might be because you’re not honoring the power of your word.

This is your invitation.
To become the alchemist of your life.
To decode your version of heaven on earth.
To walk through the fire of transformation.

What Is an Alchemist?

People often think alchemists were turning lead into gold. But true alchemists? They were crystallizing the soul—transforming the self into golden potential.

To be the alchemist is to master yourself, so you can master life. Your words are your wand. Your word is your magic. Just like in the Bible, where creation began with the Word, transformation starts when you speak powerfully and live in alignment with what you say.

Integrity: The Gateway to Transformation

Being the alchemist means living in integrity with the vision you have for your life. When you say, “I’m committed to becoming this person”—and you don’t follow through—that’s where guilt and shame creep in.

It’s not about being perfect. You’re human. We all break promises, big and small. But the key question is:
When you do break a commitment, do you repair it?

Most of us don’t. We justify it. We blame traffic, other people, our job, our exhaustion. But every time we do that, we give away our power. Over time, we forget that our word is sacred. And if you don’t matter, then your word won’t either.

Your Words Create Your World

From childhood, we form beliefs based on words—stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Those words become unconscious patterns. They shape our reality and define our identity.

But here’s the good news:
If words can create those limiting beliefs, they can also liberate you.

Words create worlds—especially your internal world. When you become impeccable with your word (shoutout to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz), you become the artist of your life.

The Growth Process: Repairing Broken Promises

Here’s a tool I use with my clients to help them transform broken promises into powerful lessons:

Step 1: Acknowledge the Broken Commitment

Say it out loud.
“I acknowledge that I broke the commitment to ____________.”

Step 2: Identify What Was More Important

What need or desire did you prioritize instead? Maybe you were tired and needed to feel good. Be honest.

Step 3: Call Out the Excuse

Ask yourself: “If I were paid a million dollars to follow through, would I have done it?”
If the answer is yes, you know it was just an excuse.

Step 4: Identify the Need Behind It

Was it about feeling good? Looking good? Being right? Staying in control? Recognize the deeper need you were trying to fulfill.

Step 5: Spot the Pattern

Where else does this show up in your life? This is where transformation happens. Don’t be afraid to ask people close to you. They’ll see your blind spots.

Step 6: Feel the Cost

What has this pattern cost you—emotionally, financially, relationally?
Let yourself feel that pain. Real change happens when the cost of staying the same is too high.

Step 7: Recommit to the Vision

Why did you make this promise in the first place?
Return to the vision that inspired you.
Declare your new commitment. Say it out loud.

Step 8: Repair with the Person You Impacted

Go to the person you let down. Say:
“I’m sorry I broke my commitment. It was more important for me to ___________ than to honor my word. How did that impact you?”

Let them tell you.
Listen.
Ask for forgiveness.
And then move forward with integrity.

Why This Matters

This process might feel intense—but it leads to true freedom.
When you live in integrity with who you say you are, no one can take that power from you. That’s your source of joy, fulfillment, and clarity.

Your words shape your life.
Your commitments define your future.
And every time you honor your word—or repair it—you get to rewrite your story.

So here’s the invitation:
Step into your golden life.
Become the alchemist of your own transformation.
And as always
