Gifted, Guided… and Still Human

The Nuance of Holding Spiritual Gifts While Navigating Human Pain

People often assume that because I am a seer, someone who walks between worlds, someone who holds space for others’ healing, someone who channels truth that I must somehow be immune to very human emotions like heartbreak, disappointment, or longing. But my spiritual gifts don’t absolve me from pain. They don’t keep me from making missteps on my path. They don’t shield me from the raw and messy parts of being human.

Recently, I’ve been healing from a relationship with someone I believed respected me, not only as a woman, but as a spiritual authority in my own right. I truly thought he honored my gifts, my calling, my intuition, and the sacred work I do. But that wasn’t the case in the end.

What makes this experience even more difficult is that I’ve been here before. A similar ache, a similar disappointment, a familiar lesson written in a different chapter. It can feel like a sick cycle, a loop, a karmic mirror I keep walking toward. But the truth is: I am not the same version of myself who lived this before.

This time, I’m handling the lesson differently. I’m approaching the pain with more awareness, more patience, more spiritual clarity. I’m allowing myself to feel everything without letting it harden me. I’m embracing this moment not as a punishment, but as a sacred transition and another step in my unfolding.

I’m praying for deeper discernment; the kind of clarity that lets me trust my intuition the first time. I’m praying for less deception from others, yes, but also from the parts of myself that fall in love with potential instead of truth. I’m praying for the strength to keep my heart soft, open, and wise even when protection would be easier than vulnerability.

And here’s something I had to remind myself:

It’s important not to beat yourself up for feeling like you missed the signs.

Sometimes Spirit will intentionally shield you from a truth until the moment it’s meant to be revealed. That in itself is divine protection. Every message doesn’t come early some arrive right on time, at the exact moment your soul is strong enough to hold it.

God sees all, even in the moments when you feel abandoned. You haven’t been forsaken you’ve been guided. Our souls are meant to grow in this lifetime, and growth often comes through the uncomfortable stretches… the breaks, the cracks, the unraveling. We are pushed, stretched, and refined in seasons when it feels like we have nothing left to give.

And yet, hindsight remains perfect. The version of yourself that emerges after adversity — clearer, softer, wiser, and more aligned — is always something beautiful.

Being a seer doesn’t free me from being human. It simply means I’m healing in two worlds at once. This one, and the one my spirit whispers from.

And this moment, as painful as it is, is still holy. A recalibration. A realignment.

A return.

If this is a cycle, then this is the lifetime where I break it intentionally, gracefully, and in full divine alignment.
