If you’re in a shadow season or a heavy time of loss, you know the process of healing can be painful and scary. There are moments within that process that you might think you’re just not going to make it through.

Emergence Coach Wendy Sloneker shares where this healing experience fits within your Emergence journey and your process of navigating feelings of grief or loss.

In this episode, Wendy explains the difference between distress and discomfort. Nothing will move or shift without your consent. This being said, Wendy guides us through how to stay present in our bodies while we sit in discomfort. When we can learn to tolerate it... even a bit, let ourselves be uncomfortable, the healing can begin.

If you could use support in navigating your own discomfort, finding your edge, and noticing your own signals of discomfort vs. distress, connect with Wendy. She is offering a complimentary call to start your process. Find more information at wendysloneker.com.

Emergence Coach Wendy Sloneker talks about “Zooming out” in this episode. Before you log into that 3rd video chat of the day or “unmute” your mic and camera, just wait. Take a second to take a breath. 

This practice of “Zooming out” is an exercise for your imagination. It’s a way to stay grounded when the feelings of grief or loss get overwhelming, and you’re not quite ready to face a “Zoomful” of people. 

Think of Zooming out as taking a step back in those moments when the feelings are big. Remember: these moments have a before, a during, and an after. Be willing to stay aware while you are overwhelmed or anxious, so you can use the “Zoom out” as a way to take a step back and see the bigger picture. 

Zooming out or taking a step back, big or small, can be a way to gain some perspective and let the path forward make itself a little more clear.

Emergence Coach Wendy Sloneker knows that waiting is hard. Thoughts of What happens next? What if…? can be overwhelming and take over our brains. Wendy has practiced taking  the unconscious discomfort of not knowing what might happen next and bringing it into the conscious thought of staying open to what’s possible. 

This is where your Emergence journey can begin. Wendy encourages us to pay attention to opportunities to get into a new way of thinking. It’s not possible to know how things will play out.  The constant you CAN count on is that there will be times in your life where you must navigate feelings of grief and loss. 

Wendy can help you find tools and gain skills to walk your Emergence journey with support. If you are ready for that step, book your complimentary 45-minute consultation to find the support you need.  Learn more at wendysloneker.com.
