Inner Truth - The Road Less Traveled: A Woman Becoming

"When you choose your truth, prepare to walk alone—but never in vain." - By Dutchess | deldeyoch.com

What does it mean to be a woman with conviction?

A woman with an inner strength rooted in something far deeper than ambition.
A woman guided by sacred intuition, shaped by love, shadow, and spirit.
A woman who feels her way forward—not because she’s unsure, but because she honors the truth beneath the noise.

A Spiritual Awakening

I awakened as a super empath at a young age—sensitive to emotions, energy, and the invisible undercurrents of every room I entered. I felt what others buried. I saw what many refused to name.

Raised in Africa, I was taught the strength and poise of the Habesha woman—grounded, dignified, resilient. I was raised by a village, molded by ancestral wisdom. But I was also shaped by a bold contrast: a progressive international school with over 70 nationalities, voices from every continent, and truths that cracked my world wide open.

That duality made me.

It gave me permission to dream without borders. It gave me the courage to travel solo, to succeed on multiple continents, and to stay in alignment with my truth—even when it cost me.

Betrayal by the Familiar

But being true to yourself in a world that thrives on conformity is not without consequence.

I have seen what happens when you dare to speak your truth without permission—when you refuse to perform the role others are comfortable with.

And I’ve witnessed the most painful kind of betrayal:

• Collective bullying, not from enemies, but from family.
• Emotional exile, not from strangers, but from best friends.
• Subtle sabotage, not from outsiders, but from the very communities that once called you “sister.”

Because when you stop lying, you become dangerous.
Not because you’ve changed—but because you’ve awakened.

The Unseen Battle

And deeper still, beyond betrayal, I have faced the spiritual warfare no one warns you about.

I’ve encountered:

• Dark magic
• Emotional vultures
• Energy vampires
• Mind gamers
• Hijackers of joy
• Demonic spirits disguised as friends—fueled by envy, vengeance, and hidden agendas

Not all attacks come with fists.
Some arrive with smiles.
And to survive them, I’ve had to build not only emotional resilience but energetic intelligence—learning to protect my aura, speak protection over my path, and spiritually cleanse what cannot be seen with the naked eye.

A Lineage of Light

It all began with Oprah.

Her voice, her stories, her courage cracked something open in me.
And from that spark, I discovered a lineage of light—mentors, books, writers, healers, alchemists, and global communities that reminded me I was not alone.

They, like me, are committed to healing the world.
Not through performance, but through purpose.
Not through perfection, but through presence.

To them, I bow.
They helped me name what I only knew in my bones.

Becoming Is Not for the Faint of Heart

I’ve gone inward.
I’ve done the shadow work.
I’ve faced my blind spots, ego, rage, silence, and grief.
I’ve chosen responsibility over blame.
I’ve released relationships, beliefs, and institutions that demanded my smallness.

People ask me:
“How do you know it’s your truth?”

I answer:
Because even when I’m trembling, my silence holds peace.
Because even when I walk alone, I feel whole.
Because I no longer explain my freedom to those who profit from my silence.

No, I’m not an angel.
I’m a woman.
One who will no longer betray her soul for approval.
One who lives in rhythm with God’s version of me, not the world’s imitation.

This Is a Revolution

In a world that defines you by what you are not—
your gender, your skin, your size, your paycheck, your accent—
the most revolutionary thing you can do is become who you truly are.

Not the version culture scripted.
Not the mask that made others feel safe.
But the soul-born, storm-tested, Spirit-led self that the Divine whispered into existence.

You only get one life.
Let it be yours.
Let it be holy.
Let it be true.

With truth, fire, and grace,
