Resting + Recalibrating
The most incredible and terrifying part of being on a journey in business and/or the journey of being your most whole, authentic self is that you never just get all the tools and learn a lesson all at once. Every stage and new level in your life brings a new set of challenges and opportunities for growth in ways that your current self cannot imagine.
Time and again, I'm reminded that it doesn't get easier; you just get better.
In the first quarter of this year, everything started really ramping up and growing, but I noticed I felt apathetic towards what I'm passionate about. I couldn't even get excited about the things related to my life's purpose. So it was this weird state of in-between. I'm not depressed, but I'm not content. I'm not upset, but I'm not happy. I don't really want to do anything, but I'm doing what needs to be done.
I could also feel that my entire business was shifting into something new and different yet the same. I couldn't put my finger on it, and it was driving me mad to not know and not feel like I could articulate how I'm here to serve when that's what I do.
And so, I resisted the urge to diagnose. I resisted the urge to push it away or ignore it. And I did what I've learned how to do over the years.
I got still and sat with the discomfort.
I accepted that I had gotten to the point of having no answers and no more f*#ks to give. And I'm so grateful for it.
I've learned so much from the inner work I've done over the past few months, and I'm still working on ways to share it all. 💖
One thing's for sure, it was necessary to have the right support team throughout the pandemic and the shifts in my professional, business, and family life. And that's how I began working with Adam. He's a desire and intimacy coach who helped me get back into my body and out of my head at a time when I felt so untethered.
I'm really excited to partner with him in an offering that combines our unique gifts and creates community. Find more details on our upcoming virtual series Creation + The Energy of Money .
While we're on the topic of money and community, I also just wrapped up a powerful panel discussion that gave an honest perspective on the relationship between Black women and Atlanta's philanthropy community.
I'd love to hear from you and know what you think!
