You’ve probably heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s a pyramid that puts survival at the bottom and self-actualization at the top. But what if Maslow has it upside down?In this episode, grace invites us to imagine self-actualization not as a prize for doing the work, but as the pulse and driving force behind everything you are doing, everything you are trying to achieve.She traces the path to the Desire behind the desire behind the desire. Because it turns out: You have nothing to prove — only layers of longing to follow. “You can’t self-actualize through affirmations or self-help books. Who you are can only be actualized in Self through energetic mastery, rigorous self-honesty, and an unmistakeable and unique connection to what is greater than you.” — grace allerdice we discuss —how Maslow inverted an indigenous Blackfoot paradigmunlocking + embodying your fullest, most true expressionthe false promises of Success without Self-actualizationwhy things often fall apart in midlifenext steps for finding your pathIf you enjoyed the episode, check out —finding your true Giftthe gritty synthesis of holistic, soul-led entrepreneurs w— Portia Barnett-HerrinMentioned in the episode—Maslow’s hierarchy connected to Blackfoot beliefsJoin the waitlist for MA (our red hot devotional membership)🌹Text grace a question 💬Free Resources —Receive the 3 keys that unlocked every major Initiation in my life.
