10 Signs You Might Be a Movement Maker

There comes a point in certain people’s journeys when they realize they weren’t put here on Earth to merely fit in and survive. They were put here to remember something sacred, to challenge what is broken, and to help birth what’s coming next.

If you’ve ever felt like a misfit in a world obsessed with conformity…

If you’ve ever carried grief that didn’t seem to belong only to you…

If you’ve always known there’s more to this life than what we’ve been handed…

You, my friend, may be a Movement Maker...someone encoded with a special soul-assignment to lead change, restore connection, and awaken consciousness.

Here are 10 signs the sacred call is already alive deep within you...

1. You often feel different, like you don’t quite “fit” into modern society.

Perhaps you were born into a family where love was conditional, where narcissism shaped the air you breathed, and you were cast as the “black sheep” simply for seeing the world differently. From an early age, the values and belief systems around you felt foreign and misaligned with your deeper knowing. You weren’t rebellious…you were just awake.

Maybe you’ve always longed for more depth while the world offered you small talk. Labeled an “introvert,” what you truly crave is intimacy, truth, and connection that stirs the soul. The metrics of modern success (status, speed, surface) leave you hollow. Yet beneath all the noise, you’ve always felt something ancient and alive pulsing within

As Ross Caligiuri wrote, “If you feel like you don’t fit into the world you inherited, it’s because you were born to help create a new one.”

2. You’re an empath who finds meaning in life’s complexity.

In a culture that praises numbness and speed, your sensitivity is a radical gift. You’ve been told you’re too much, too soft, too emotional. But your sensitivity is sacred technology that allows you to read the field, detect subtle shifts, and carry wisdom beyond words.

You don’t just understand the world; you feel its fractures, and that is precisely what gives you the power to help mend them.

3. You’ve experienced a deep sense of responsibility to “end the cycle.”

From a young age, you’ve likely known, instinctively, that you are here to heal not just yourself, but the generations that came before you. You’ve walked through fire, not to be hardened, but to be forged. You broke cycles not out of anger, but out of deep love, and now you’re ready to carry the medicine back to the village.

4. You understand that personal healing and collective liberation are inseparable.

You know that true healing doesn’t stop with the self. The wounds of the world mirror the wounds within, and as you do your deep work, you help lift the veil for others. You move through the personal not to transcend it, but to alchemize it into a force for the collective. You are the bridge between the inner and outer revolution.

5. You feel called to transform your pain into power.

You’ve suffered greatly, but you didn’t let the darkness consume you. Instead, you became the lantern-bearer. Every hardship, every heartbreak, every shadow has become a source of wisdom. You are no longer afraid of the dark because you’ve learned how to carry the light. You see this planetary dark night coming, and you can lead the way through its storms because you have been there before.

6. You are drawn to creating intentional communities and support networks.

You feel it in your bones: we were never meant to do this alone. In his book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow,” Francis Weller speaks of the grief of what we expected and did not receive...the absence of ritual, of village, of elders to guide us. You’re here to rebuild that. To re-weave the threads of connection and co-create spaces where people feel seen, held, and whole. You know deep down in your soul that healing is communal, resilience is relational, and that liberation is collective.

7. You’re drawn to ancestral wisdom, ritual, and reconnection with the Earth.

You long for a life of meaning and sacred rhythm...a life in tune with the cycles of nature, the wisdom of the ancestors, and the rituals that make us fully human. You know, we cannot heal a broken planet without first remembering that we are intricately tied and a part of her. You sense that the Earth is not a resource, but a relative, and your leadership emerges from that place of reverence.

8. You do not lead from ego, but you lead from the heart.

You are not interested in empire-building or the cult of personality. Your leadership is rooted in love, not dominance; in service, not status. You listen for the call of Spirit, not for applause, and offer your work as devotion. You lead because your soul won’t let you sit this one out.

9. You feel called to challenge systems rooted in patriarchy, colonialism, and domination.

You don’t just want to shift policies...you want to compost the deeper mindsets and mechanisms of control. Your revolution is not built on vengeance but regeneration. You see the violence of extraction, domination, and disconnection, and you are here to seed something wildly more beautiful in its place.

You carry a vision of a world rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and repair. Most importantly, you’re not waiting for permission to begin building it.

10. You’re a natural systems thinker.

You see patterns where others see problems. You understand that the crisis is not isolated, but it is deeply interconnected. You think in ecosystems, not silos, and you know that lasting change happens not by fixing symptoms, but by transforming the roots. You are both a visionary and a strategist, a mystic and builder, and a healer and architect of the new.

Beyond anything else, you hear a loud call from Spirit that is only getting louder. There is a quiet urgency rising in your bones and a sacred fire in your belly. A whisper that keeps returning: This is your time.

If even a few of these signs resonate, then your soul is already rising to meet its assignment, and you are not here by accident. You are here to midwife the new Earth...through community, creativity, courage, and deep remembering.

You are a Movement Maker, and your time is now!
