Dare to feel whole
Hello!
The last few years have been full of discovery for me.
In 2021 I wrote this haiku I, using my word of the year WHOLE. It feels like an accomplishment now.
“Daring to feel Whole
Ask and Tell all the Stories
Be Open Be Brave”
I’ve given all I have to be a mom to a 15-year-old girl, be a wife, a friend, a pleasant human in the world, a leader at work. And through it all, I learned more about myself than I have since my early 20s. I started to understand the value of boundaries and practice vulnerability again. Through my late 30's and early 40's, I had built up some pretty interesting walls around me.
1st full moon of 2021
I discovered what I do and don’t want in life and my career.
I am learning how to integrate rather than balance the two. Personally, I am celebrating growth. Professionally, I am celebrating clarity. In 2021, I birthed a baby business and supported grown-up businesses. I got to work with 7 small businesses, 6 corporate teams, 1 high school, and 4 1:1 clients all tallied; I spent time with more than 250 people helping them see themselves as human beings, not human doings. This matters to me because it is part of my dream for this baby business. For it to grow up into a meaningful, deep impact network supporting others as they move through their professional and personal lives with more play.
moving into 2022
In 2022 I will continue to move with play and expand.
Making professional development accessible to small businesses and early stage start ups.
Integrating life and work to make sense for me and to work with others to help them integrate life and work in their business and with their people in ways that make sense for them.
I am grateful to the people who have been and will be by my side the whole time, walking with me through the doors, down the paths, up the hills, and anywhere else I needed to go.
To close this year, a 6-word memoir:
Got curious, got clear, stayed connected.
