The truth is, no matter what you do for a living or choose to pursue in your free time, all of it is valuable. All of it matters more than you think. And the world needs your love and light.
It’s not about you (and why that’s a good thing!)
Planning and creating my first workshop was an adrenaline-filled process, and ultimately one of my greatest personal and professional successes to date. Yes, the workshop went smoothly, but beyond that I was reminded of what happens when you 1) step out of your comfort zone, 2) do the thing that scares you, and 3) remember to get out of your own way.
Are you moving through life too quickly?
Slowing down is crucial to make sure you’re moving in the right direction, and creating a life that you actually want to be a part of every day.
Otherwise, you might go go go in a single direction for years, only to wake up one day and wonder, “How did I even get here? Is this what I really want? Do I like my life? Am I happy?"
Pressed for time? This unexpected tool will give you space to breathe
Are you pressed for time? Totally overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list and unable to recharge? Perhaps it feels impossible to take time for yourself — to enjoy your life, and actually squeeze in some fun and adventure. If this resonates with you — and you feel like you’re too wiped to carry on as you have been — I’m going to suggest something that might feel counter-intuitive at first.
Should you or shouldn't you? Getting clear on what you really want
Underneath your "should" is a gold mine of information. Maybe it’s a long-held desire, a heartfelt dream that still feels intimidating — one that you don't feel “ready” to tackle. But maybe it’s not. It could be a judgment about how you’re not currently doing “enough,’ or a step towards someone else’s vision for you that is well-intentioned but doesn’t feel aligned with what you envision for yourself. How do you tell the difference?
