My Highest Self said hire someone to make dinners

I feel like such a Susie homemaker lately. I made homemade plantain chips, brownies, nice cream, teas, hummus, and stuffed dates for the first time ever. I made my daughter’s birthday cake. Actually, we made it together which was even better! I made her birthday snack for school too. You know why? It’s all because I hired someone to make our dinners 4 to 5 nights per week. Yes, stick with me… I hired a cook, and it made me a Susie Homemaker. 

Initially, part of me felt like a failure as a mother because I wanted to make my family healthy, delicious meals, but it just wasn’t working. (Yes, rationally I know that’s extremely extreme, but that’s how a small part of me felt.)

The reality was that, for me, making dinners was stressful. Someone always hated it, and I took that personally. It made a big mess. At a minimum, it took me away from time with my family. At worst, it made me think they were ungrateful stinkers. Yeah, I said it. 

Frequently, I wasn’t able to stay regulated and hold my frequency, and as I have learned, holding my frequency is my number one job – far and away more important than anything else. 

I knew there was a better way to feed myself and my family. So, I checked in with my Highest Self. Sure enough, she said it would be in our greatest alignment to hire a cook. I did it, and I don’t regret it for a second. 

There have been so many benefits, expected and unexpected:

• We went from eating out about 4 times per week to about 2 times per week, which leads me to my second point …
• It’s healthy! I gave our chef Jasmine very specific guidance to make Medical Medium meals (vegan, gluten free, anti-inflammatory, etc), and it didn’t phase her a bit. She has been incredible!
• We aren’t spending more money. First, because we aren’t eating at restaurants as much. Second, because our grocery bills are a bit lower. Jasmine doesn’t order veggie burgers and soy-free tofu like we did. She makes them!
• I have time and energy to make the things I want to make, including the things that are important to me and my family, like celebratory desserts! Also juices, smoothies, and healthy snacks – the fun stuff. 
• Both of my kids are more adventurous eaters now. The pickier one has been exposed to all sorts of foods that I don’t even know how to pronounce (moustaka, anyone?). She’s beginning to trust that even food she’s not familiar with can be good!
• And most importantly, my nervous system is better regulated. It’s less stressful at dinner time because I just pop in something Jasmine made to heat for 15 minutes. 

What magic will you co-create with the Universe?

This is just one example of what happens when you connect with your Highest Self – the part of you in the highest dimension, on the God level. When you get her blessing, you can feel confident in your decisions, assured they will work out beautifully. 

This is how you manifest amazing things in your life. By knowing what’s in your greatest alignment. By knowing what’s yours in this life – and going after it! Let me know if you’d like to learn how to communicate with your Highest Self and see what magic you can co-create with the Universe!

Update: After I dehydrated the plantain chips above, I thought I’d crisp them up a tiny bit more in the oven. I burnt them to total char! And that was my reminder that we’re all just doing our best here.
