July 2023: Fear vs. Intuition

Welcome, July!

Last month, I decided to take a break from my newsletter and social media, which honestly felt restorative. I find that digital detoxes always recenter me, especially during the summer months when I feel a strong pull to be outdoors and in the sunshine. I am also looking forward to traveling most of this upcoming month, first to Ecuador and then to Tennessee to host a workshop! August will be a big month of change for me upon my return...

Lately, I've been contemplating the theme of intuition vs. fear. It can be easy to confuse the two, especially when we start overthinking and analyzing. I have a handful of clients who have big, life-changing decisions to make. During our sessions, we delve into their emotions, distinguishing between intuitive knowledge (true, inner knowing) and fear (often an illusion of the mind). Fear is a slippery slope because in some instances it's warranted and keeps us safe. But in others, it's preventing us from taking healthy risks and only keeping us in our comfort zones. Through introspection and discernment, we can learn to distinguish between the two.

For several months, I have been contemplating my own professional aspirations. I have a passion for relationship-centered topics and enjoy working with individuals. However, the 1:1 coaching model limits my ability to connect with a larger audience. I feel compelled to offer more educational content through in-person workshops, self-paced online courses, and groups because co-learning with others often has the greatest impact. After much consideration, I have decided to put most of my energy and efforts toward launching these formats this August.

For my current clients, I will continue to offer 1:1 appointments, with a slightly increased hourly rate. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to email me or discuss it during our next appointment. Thank you for your continued confidence and trust in our work together. In the meantime, I would love to hear your thoughts on the workshop and group topics that interest you -- please take a moment to express interest here and stay current on my upcoming offerings.

Although the idea of creating something new feels intimidating, my intuition tells me it's what I am meant to do..and I won't let fear get in the way of that. I am sending you courage to do the same, in whatever part of life needs reinvention.
