Hey Reader,
Welcome to this weeks' Journal. It has been one of those weeks where it feels like a sidestep, or maybe a step backwards. Survival mode, a lot of solo parenting, and that absolute git, Self-Doubt, showing up right on cue.
But sloooooowly, I'm learning to pause when it arrives and ask: are these stories actually true?? And why now? Usually it's because I'm looking for approval that was never coming from outside of me in the first place. No one is handing out permission slips. Which means I have to keep coming back to centre and asking myself - do I still feel on course?
And yeah, I do. Even without tangible proof yet. Even stepping into the unknown. It feels a bit like crossing the Threshold... you can't see what's on the other side, but something in you knows it's right.
I think the difference this time is that I have just enough courage to follow it anyway. And I've reached that point where the discomfort of staying where I am finally outweighs the discomfort of going for it.
And if you're standing somewhere similar right now — I see you.
That free offering I mentioned last week is taking shape — it's a short guide and audio for the woman standing at the crossing point, not quite sure what's on the other side. Almost ready...

The Orientation
If you're in the thick of a life transition and could do with seeing the shape of the path beneath your feet, my free workshop - Finding Your Footing Through a Life Transition - is a good place to start. You can find out more and access it here.
The Witnessing
If you need something more personal — write to me. Hit reply and tell me a little about where you are: what's ended, what you're carrying, what's pulling at you. I'll write back, and if it feels right I'll suggest a plant ally or two that belong with where you are right now. I read every reply and I'm always glad to hear from you. Or if you'd rather talk book a tea & chat and we can explore it together over Zoom.
