Christina, what a journey you are on! A worthwhile dedication.
I so relate to what you are talking about in many ways. Two steps forward, three steps back.
Coaching, how to present what we have learnt over years of life experience - research and mesearch. 😊
I feel completely overwhelmed at times with the task I have given myself at the moment and feel also very isolated - because I am kind of keeping my project under wraps until I actually can see I have given birth to it!
The Why, as you say, is so important to keep coming back to.
So is actually enjoying the process. Because we will never be "there". There will always be something I am realising. My daily mantra to stop myself getting too overwhelmed has become:
"today I am going to enjoy each present moment in this journey." It helps me.
All the best for it all Christina. Such necessary and good work you are doing. xx
Great mantra and loved hearing about your process Jo, thanks for sharing!
The overwhelm can be intense, can’t it? I find it all feels so abstract at times, and then I get something - anything! - down on paper and it becomes a bit more real.
Looking forward to hearing what you’re creating, once you’re ready to share. Sure it will be wonderful! x
It’s an important journey to be on Christina and it will be worth it, I’m sure. Speaking from an evidence base is empowering I always find, crucial to my work and to yours it sounds. Not long now, you’ve got this! 😘
Aw no, that’s the worst feeling isn’t it? It reminds me of the long dark night of the creative soul type graph that I think Austin Kleon shared in one of his brilliant wee books. That rollercoaster of feeling like you’re on to something, followed by the 3am plunge. Hope you’re travelling forwards or at the very least standing still again now. And a big high five for writing daily - keep going.
Yes, the last couple days have been better. I just keep pushing forward and keep on keepin' on. Its good to remember that the morning always arrives. Hey, I haven't forgotten about booking a connection consultation. I'm just making sure about my schedule.
Here's to all the steps, here's to that journey! I'm taking steps every day, forwards and backwards and static like a treadmill and sideways and...star-jumps even! The progress is thankfully in forward motion, even if it's never a straight line.
Also, I hope this doesn't distract you *too* much. 😊
Star jumps & sideways & treadmills - what images, I love them! Hope the momentum is with you today. It’s left my building for now. But trusting it will return, and hopefully sooner rather than later. 😅
I made a few leaps forward the past week - that was a great deal to me. Now I am on hold, but it feels good to wait for the next step. As you wrote "Change is slow. But it is happening." And I am grateful for things are changing, I am changing.

Thank you. I needed this reminder. Off to empower myself again. 🧡
Many steps backwards the last few days. Writing daily, but when I post essays and vignettes I feel Iike it’s useless pissing in the wind.

Hang on in there!
Love to hear it - thank you for sharing. Cheering you on all the way. And also, I’m back in the holding zone. So perhaps we are there together.
