I’ve been very quiet lately! Life is just a tad overwhelming and it’s had an impact on me being able to engage in the reflective practice of writing. I’ve been learning many lessons but sharing and articulating them has been difficult.

This week I’ve felt the need to withdraw, to go inward – to ‘winter’ so to speak.

I’ve had a variety of experiences around this topic – from friends completely misconstruing and misreading what I’m feeling and experiencing, to them implying that I “should” be over it by now, to completely invalidating what I’m … More Emotional Intelligence and holding space.
How are you all? How are you faring in these interesting energetic times? Personally, I’ve found that the energy has lightened.

I can’t pinpoint one thing to focus on for this blog post – instead, I feel the need to share my journey this week in all it’s ups and downs and moments of clarity and understanding that come from deep diving into the whys and hows and whos.
