Welcome, Beautiful Humans Who Happen to be Subscribers
and the rest of you, Substackers✨
Thank you for reading Permission Slips . Here I offer you weekly invitations to give yourself permission to wake up to your most expansive and authentic self through personal anecdotes, self-inquiry, and journaling prompts.
Welcome to the Journey!
Dear Beautiful Soul,
First and foremost, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this adventure called Substack where we get to be raw, real, and vulnerable. Whether you’ve stumbled across my writings by accident or intentionally signed up to be part of this community, I’m thrilled to have you here.
In this space I’ll be sharing the musings of my mind through weekly Permission Slips, helping you remember that you are allowed to feel, grow, mess up, and shine your light—however that looks for you. Permission Slips (PS) will offer you moments of clarity -and possibly some confusion, which is often where self-inquiry begins, in the messy middle of it all- lessons learned, and the quirky insights that come from looking at life through the lens of curiosity and compassion.
But here’s the thing: this is not just my journey. It’s ours. It’s about growing, learning, and giving ourselves the permission that we often forget to give ourselves in the hustle of life - permission to BE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES. It’s about living more fully, embracing all of who you are, and letting go of those pesky limiting beliefs that hold us back, like perfectionism and ‘not-enoughness’.
These PS won’t be another paperwork parade (because honestly, who needs more paperwork?). At times they’ll be gentle reminders, playful nudges, and comforting affirmations that help you live more authentically, with a little less pressure and a lot more grace. At other times they’ll be like a double-shot espresso to the soul - bold, jolting, and impossible to ignore, shaking you awake into questioning every decision in your life. It’s my hope that these PS will support you on your path to staying awake—to living with intention, curiosity, and self-compassion.
Thank you for trusting me to be part of your inbox, and more importantly, part of your journey. I’m so excited to be walking this path with you, and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead!
With gratitude, light, and a little bit of mischief,
Dr. Tamy, Soul Surgeon ✨Fellow Traveler

Journaling Prompts✨How often do you give yourself permission in your life? How often do you deny yourself permission?
Journal about what self-inquiry means to you? How often do you question your conditioned egoic mind, your belief systems, and the life you’ve created? Are you where you want to be on your path now and is it serving the highest expression of yourself?
Write your life out in bullet points, highlighting the momentous earthquake, shapeshifting moments you’ve lived!

Hi Tamy, I am new to Substack and just stumbled upon your account. It's been such fun reading your posts. I especially loved the one where you laid out your life in bullet points - what a great, refreshing idea! I absolutely love reflections on life and never thought to do that in the form of bullet points. Thank you for the inspiration - although it feels a bit scary, I'll be giving it a try! 😊 And I'm excited to read more from your Permission Slips. Thank you for creating that space. 🙏
