At the time I'm recording this episode the Great North American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 is a few days away.

I remember vividly what I was doing during the last eclipse in 2017, I was standing in the middle of a parking lot in front of my friend's boutique looking up at the sky through my phone.

I realized that with all the science-based conversations about the eclipse and the extra woo-woo conversations about the eclipse, there is a common thread between an eclipse and the confidence growth journey.
Lets get into it.

Nobody welcomes a critic - but what if we could hold space for the critics in our lives to support our growth??

The four-word phrase that is now the title of this episode came to me randomly, and after two announcements from two high-profile women in the days afterward, the conversation became clearer.

I believe that confident women can grow through giving credit to their critics, and this episode gets into it.

I realized recently that I'm in a season of wandering....I'm in a season that is intimate & personal where I'm rejecting responsibilities and standing tall in my purpose.

In this episode I'm sharing a handful of takeaways from my season of wandering, if this topic resonates with you, I hope this conversation is helpful.

This is the first time that I've circled back on a topic that I’ve already talked about on the podcast, but I feel like this conversation is so necessary because this is real life.
This is what living fully and being in tune with what life is doing looks like.
The last time I talked abut this topic it was a few months after my dad passed away suddenly.
I was talking about what that grief was feeling & looking like at the time and also recognizing that I was in a season of growth as well.
In this episode I wanna take the conversation to another level because I'm in a season like that again and it looks a little bit different this time.

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." - Lao Tzu

I didn't plan for the extended break between my last podcast episode and this one. Life has been doing the most and much of my energy has been responding to the natural and spontanueous changes as they've been happening. Looking back on things now I can see the alignment, but when I was going through, all I wanted was to have some clarity and relief from the shenanigans.

It hasn't all been unwanted detours though, I'm talking about it in this episode.

Question, do you recognize the difference between someone saying, "How are you?" versus someone asking" How are you doing?"

We've been conditioned and trained to treat these two questions as the same, and they're not. When we use these questions interchangeably it's almost like we expect a certain kind of answer, one that usually includes activity....and that's a setup for feeling unworthy and like we don't measure up.

I'm gonna break it all down, let's get into it.

Whether you’re in a question asking season or an answer getting season, it can feel like the only “right” thing to do is be quiet - to shut out external stimuli so you can receive whatever the season has to offer you.

I believe it’s in between those questions and answers that the vision for your life takes shape, the confident vision that maybe you’ve been afraid to believe is possible becomes clearer, and you might notice that the you you are right now doesn’t quite match to the you you’ll have to become.

Let's talk about it.
