MONTH 1 • DREAM TEACHING
Green Dress Oracle
When you give your gifts away for free and wonder why you're invisible
Pattern Diagnosed: Green Dress Oracle
Core Issue: Economic, relational, and strategic overfunctioning—giving your gifts away while going broke
Connected to:
- → Law 1: Clean Current Law ("Stop leaking power to people who don't refill you")

- → Arc 2: The Weight ("When high-capacity women carry everyone's load until they collapse")
Outcome by Week 4:
- • €200-500 earned from work you used to give free
- • 1-3 draining relationships cut or corrected
- • Strategic positioning shifted (from chasing to being found)
The Dream Story
Age 7. Kujama Satellite Earth Station, Nigeria. Saturday afternoon with my dad.
I was sitting outside watching a man knock mangoes from trees when I felt it—a desert wind. The air changed. For a moment I wasn't there anymore. I could smell dust. Warm breeze. Birds. Complete silence except the wind.
I thought I was in a desert.
Then I came back.
I journaled it at 10 when i recieved my first gift diary. Didn't understand it until I was 30.
The second time: I'd been researching past-life patterns, tracking why I kept giving my best work away for free while going broke. I went to bed.
And there I was. The desert I'd felt at 7.
The scene:
Green silk dress. Stone well. Olive tree. My photo on a wall.
I sat there as kings, merchants, and travelers stopped at the well. Some drank and left. Some stayed for my counsel. Some brought gifts.
But here's what the dream didn't show me until I lived it:
Most took the water and never refilled the well. And I let them.
Because I'd been trained that my value was in what I gave, not what I was.
The dream came back two years ago. I was watching Breaking Bad—every desert scene in New Mexico triggered it. My body wanted to return there. To remember. The desert never changed. Only the meanings opened.
The Three Violations
Most women misread this dream as "just charge more." That's one layer. But Green Dress Oracle isn't about money alone. It's about three ways you overfunction:
Violation 1: Economic
Shadow behavior:
- Giving professional expertise for free ("just helping")
- Free consultations that turn into unpaid strategy sessions
- Writing proposals, sharing resources, solving problems—with your name never on the credit
- Being too "spiritual" to talk about money
- Pricing low because you're afraid no one will pay premium
What it costs you: Material invisibility despite high capacity. You're brilliant—and broke.
Why you do it: You learned early that usefulness = love. That if you stopped giving, you'd be disposable.
The correction:
Name your price
Send invoices
Enforce payment
No free labor, no exceptions
Violation 2: Relational
Shadow behavior:
- Being the therapist friend who holds everyone's crises but no one asks how you're doing
- Managing your partner's emotions, life, and problems while yours go unattended
- Fixing family dynamics while your own needs stay invisible
- Organizing everyone's life except your own
- Staying in friendships where you're needed but not seen
What it costs you: Emotional depletion. Resentment. Relationships where you're a resource, not a woman.
Why you do it: You confused caretaking with connection. You thought if you fixed them, they'd finally see you.
The correction:
Stop managing other people's emotional lives
Let them carry their own weight
Match their energy exactly (if they give 30%, you give 30%)
Exit relationships where you're the only one functioning
Violation 3: Strategic
Shadow behavior:
- Posting daily to "stay visible"
- Doing sales calls to "build relationships"
- Networking to "meet people"
- Creating content on algorithm schedule instead of when you have something to say
- Performing accessibility to attract clients
- Chasing the marketplace instead of being positioned
What it costs you: Exhaustion. Inauthenticity. You attract people who want your performance, not your depth.
Why you do it: You believed the marketplace rules: "Post or be forgotten. Be relatable or no one will connect. Give free value or no one will buy."
The correction:
The oracle doesn't chase. The oracle sits by the well.
Look at the dream again: I was sitting. Not marketing. Not networking. Not building audience. I was still. And the kings and merchants came to me. They traveled through the desert to find me. I didn't chase them. I didn't convince them. I didn't perform to attract them. I was positioned. Visible. Available. But not pursuing.
Psychological Root
You learned that your value was in your usefulness.
That love had to be earned through labor.
That if you weren't solving, fixing, giving, managing—you were disposable.
So you became indispensable.
The well became your identity. And you can't close it without fearing you'll disappear.
But the truth is this: You don't disappear when you stop overfunctioning. You become visible for the first time. Because when you stop performing usefulness, people finally see you.
Governance Architecture
Law Connection
Clean Current Law
"Stop leaking power to people who don't refill you."
Every hour you spend giving to someone who doesn't reciprocate is an hour you're not building your own foundation. Green Dress Oracle is the diagnostic. Clean Current Law is the enforcement.
Pillar Connection
Death of the Shapeshifter
"The woman who performs to be chosen must die."
You've been shapeshifting: the helpful one, the generous one, the accessible one. But shapeshifters are exhausting to maintain. The gatekeeper is not a shapeshifter. The gatekeeper is fixed. Immovable. And the right people come anyway.
Arc Connection
Arc 2: The Weight
"When high-capacity women carry everyone's load until they collapse."
You've been carrying other people's businesses, emotions, problems. And you're about to collapse under the weight. This month, you learn to set it down before the collapse.
4-Week Integration Plan
Week 1: Audit
DAYS 1-7
Economic Audit:
- List everyone you helped professionally for free in last 90 days
- What did you give? (Time, strategy, resources, expertise)
- Calculate: If you charged €100/hour, what would you have earned?
- Write the number: €_______
Relational Audit:
- List 3 people you overfunction for emotionally
- What do you do for them? (Manage, fix, organize, absorb)
- What do they do for you? (Be honest)
- Calculate the imbalance
Strategic Audit:
- How many hours did you spend "creating content" vs. doing deep work last week?
- How many times did you post to "stay visible" vs. because you had something to say?
- Are you chasing the marketplace or positioned by the well?
Journal Prompt: "If I stopped giving for free, what am I afraid would happen?"
Expected experience: Exposure. Anger. Embarrassment. Like you've been scammed. Good. That's recognition.
Week 2: Economic + Relational Correction
DAYS 8-14
Economic Correction:
Pick one person who's been drinking your professional expertise for free.
Next time they ask: "My rate for that is €X. Would you like to book a session?"
If they balk: "I understand. Let me know if that changes."
Expected responses:
"I thought we were friends?" → (You are. Friends pay friends.)
"Can you just give me 15 minutes?" → (No. 15 minutes is €X.)
Silence. → (They'll find another free well. Let them.)
Relational Correction:
Choose ONE relationship. Pull back 50% this week. Match their energy exactly.
If they give 30%, you give 30%.
If they give 70%, you give 70%.
If they give 0%, you give 0%.
Success metric: €100-500 earned OR one person cuts you off (both are wins)
Week 3: Strategic Correction
DAYS 15-21
The Task: Stop chasing the marketplace for 7 days.
No:
- Cold outreach
- "Engagement" for visibility
- Posting to "stay relevant"
- Performing accessibility
- Sales calls
- Networking
Yes:
- Deep work on your foundation
- Speak when you have something to say
- Sit by your well (one visible location)
- Trust the right people will find you
Oracle Positioning Strategy:
ONE WELL (Not a thousand puddles) → Your website is the well. Everything points there. Deep, permanent, substantial.
RARE SPEECH (Not constant content) → You speak when you have transmission. Not on schedule, on substance. Quality over frequency.
PREMIUM PRICING (Not accessible pricing) → High price filters for right people. Low price attracts tire-kickers. Desert travelers expect to pay for water.
VISIBLE STILLNESS (Not performative visibility) → You're not hiding. But you're not chasing. You're positioned and present. They come to you.
Week 4: Integration
DAYS 22-30
Reflection:
Economic:
- Who paid? How much? €_______
- Who got angry when you named your price? (Let them leave)
- How does it feel to be compensated?
Relational:
- Who respected the boundary?
- Who pushed back? (Information)
- Which relationships improved when you stopped overfunctioning?
Strategic:
- Did clients still find you when you stopped chasing?
- How much deep work did you complete?
- What's the difference between positioning and hustling?
Journal Prompt: "What does the gatekeeper version of me look like? How does she speak? What does she refuse?"
Expected experience: Power. Clarity. Reclamation. That's integration.
Journal Prompts
- Who have I been giving to for free—and what would my life look like if I charged them?
- What am I afraid will happen if I close the well? (Be specific. Name the terror.)
- If my ancestors could see how I've been giving my gifts away, what would they say?
- What payoff am I getting from staying in this pattern? (Safety? Identity? Being needed? Martyrdom?)
- Who in my life has actually refilled the well—and who has only taken?
- If I could only give to 5 people for the rest of my life, who would they be? (Everyone else gets closed out.)
- What does the gatekeeper version of me look like? (Describe her. What does she wear? How does she move? What does she refuse? Who has access to her?)
Brutal Truths
01
You're not generous. You're afraid. Afraid that if you stop giving, no one will stay.
02
Every hour you spend refilling everyone else is an hour you're not building your own kingdom. You're complicit in your own erasure.
03
"I just want to help" is a lie. The truth is: You're terrified that if you charge, no one will pay.
04
You've trained people that your gifts are free. And now you're mad that they treat them like they're worthless. You did this.
05
Giving from depletion isn't love. It's self-harm with a spiritual filter.
06
Your ancestors didn't survive so you could be a well for strangers. Every time you give your power away for free, you dishonor them.
07
You can't build a temple while you're watering everyone else's garden. Stop. Let their plants die. Tend to yours.
08
The people who get mad when you close the well were never for you. They were for what you could give them. Let them leave.
09
You will never feel "ready" to charge what you're worth. Send the invoice anyway.
10
Closing the well doesn't make you selfish. It makes you sovereign. There's a difference. Learn it.
The well is yours. And you are the gatekeeper. Not everyone gets to drink.
