The Star Memory took Lila back to when Mia was three, throwing a tantrum in the middle of a crowded supermarket.
Mia, wearing a bright yellow sun dress, was screaming and flailing on the floor, her face red with frustration. Lila felt the weight of every shopper’s gaze, their judgment palpable—or so she thought. Her heart raced, and embarrassment crept in. But then, something shifted. A profound calm washed over her, like a warm light glowing from within. It was as if a voice inside whispered, You know what to do.
In that moment, Lila embodied a strength she didn’t know she had. She knelt down, perfectly composed, and gently picked up Mia. Brushing the hair from her daughter’s tear-streaked face, she looked into her eyes and said softly, “I’m here now.” Mia’s cries stopped. Her wide, glistening eyes locked onto Lila’s, and she reached out, wrapping her small arms around her mother in a tight hug. The supermarket faded away, and it was just the two of them, connected in a moment of pure love and trust. Lila felt radiant, powerful, and deeply aligned with her role as a mother.
During her Star Matrix session, Lila revisited this Star Memory and extracted its message: You are capable of calm, loving strength in any storm. The vivid image of Mia’s yellow sun dress became her anchor. Whenever self-doubt crept in—whether during a challenging work presentation or a moment of parenting uncertainty—Lila would visualize that bright dress. It was like summoning her Star Power, the inner glow and certainty she felt in the supermarket.
Since the session, Lila has leaned into this memory to navigate life’s “wobbly” moments. At work, when imposter syndrome whispers that she doesn’t belong in the boardroom, she pictures the yellow sun dress, feels that calm strength, and steps forward with confidence. As a mom, when Mia’s now teenage moods test her patience, she recalls that hug and knows she can handle anything with love. Lila has started journaling other Star Memories in her Book of Stars, building a StarLine of empowering moments that remind her of her resilience and capacity for growth.
The yellow sun dress has become more than a memory—it’s a symbol of Lila’s ability to shine, no matter the challenge, and a reminder that her Star Powers are always within reach.
Star Therapist’s Personal Reflection
As Lila’s Star Therapist, guiding her through that Star Matrix session was profoundly moving. Watching her connect with the memory of the yellow sun dress and the radiant calm she felt in that supermarket was like witnessing a spark reignite. Her eyes lit up as she described Mia’s hug, and I could feel the strength of that Star Memory anchoring her in real-time. It was a privilege to help her extract the message—“You are capable of calm, loving strength in any storm”—and see her embrace it with such clarity.
The follow-up sessions were equally inspiring. Lila’s newfound confidence, sparked by visualizing that yellow sun dress, transformed how she spoke about herself as a mother and professional. Hearing her share how she used this Star Power to navigate work challenges and parenting moments fills me with joy and pride. It reaffirmed why I love Star Matrix: it doesn’t just heal—it empowers Star Clients to rediscover their brilliance and carry it forward.
Lila’s journey left me deeply grateful to be part of such meaningful growth but more than that – the other day, when I was worrying about a personal situation, I thought of a beautiful child in a yellow sun dress smiling and waving at me!
