Did I just Google THAT word?! 

😳

So, my copywriter sent me a Facebook ad draft the other day.

I’m reading along … nodding … thinking, “Yep, this is solid”

When suddenly my eyes land on this line:

“Your nervous system is c*ckblocking your cashflow.”

… 

Excuse me?
C*ck what now?? 🙄

I’d never heard the phrase, let alone used it in a sentence!

So naturally, I did what any confused person does in 2025.

I Googled it.

Definition: “To prevent someone from succeeding in engaging in sexual intercourse. To block someone’s c*ck.”

🤣

I nearly spat my chai across the room.

Half-crying with nervous laughter, I fired back a voice note:

“Do you REALISE what that ACTUALLY means?!?!”

His reply?

“Yeah, I bet Urban Dictionary went hard on that definition (no pun intended 😅) but we’re not writing it in the LITERAL sense! It’s just a cheeky way of saying their nervous system is blocking, sabotaging, or stopping their cash flow. It’ll 1000% get attention! Whether you use it or not, I’ll leave that up to you.”

My reply?

“Fck it. I’ll test.”

Why? Because that’s me.


That’s been the pattern of my entire life.

The first time I walked on fire.
The first time I spoke in front of thousands.
The first time I travelled with my Shaman through the Amazon jungle.

The first time I launched NUMINOUS.

I didn’t feel ready for ANY of it.

I didn’t know what the outcome would be.

I just said…

“Fck it. I’ll test”

And looking back, those have always been the breakthrough moments where things changed for me the most.

The moment I stopped overthinking…

And just did the thing… 

THAT’S when the breakthroughs happen.

Something to think about, as you ponder where you might be c*ckblocking yourself right now.

But, if you’re interested in this philosophy, and learning more about how to un-c*ck-block a nervous system that’s stopping you from saying, “Fck it. I’ll test” … 

Here’s where you can explore that>>>

In Love and Wisdom,
Pauline
