It’s a VUCA world
I never expected to be self-employed and am continually gratified to be of service and earn a living as a coach, healer and facilitator.
I also hadn't imagined the vulnerability and polarization we are experiencing as a country. Is anyone else grieving? My national identity, my sense of what to expect...the loss of how I thought things would always be...it's all up in the air.
It’s VUCA: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous*
Beyond my internal reflections, friends and colleagues are jobless, programs defunded, and the news continues to be challenging. The ripple effects go on as we navigate unexpected trauma alongside cooking dinner, mitigating sibling rivalry, plan logistics and care for our loved ones.
It’s a lot.
And looks like it will be this way for a while.
[Insert big belly breath here. Repeat. Ok, now read on.]
Given all that VUCAness, what is within our control?
Ourselves. How we care for ourselves and for one another. How we manage our relationships. How we invest, show up and serve.
Marketing myself always feels a bit tricky as I have some deeply embedded values around humility from my rural North Dakota Scandinavian culture to not stick out or be boastful.
And…the context has shifted. We need one another's talents and skills in complementary ways to bring us through.
There's a trend in my healing sessions–when given the chance, nearly everyone asks for insights about a close relationship, usually parent or child.
The results are always astounding. The client tells me the person’s name, I tune in and something comes through. It’s usually an image or a metaphor “Seems like you are walking parallel but the other person leans on you more for X, but they also support you in such and such” or “You’re like two playful dolphins that have solo adventures but always come home to one another” or “Your child is light, full of air, almost as if holding onto a helium balloon.” And sometimes it's "You are tied but there's an imbalance in what you receive and the reason seems to be XYZ and here's how you can reframe that and mitigate the pain for yourself."
And that’s just the beginning! We dive in from there to ask how you can nurture, repair, or ask for a shift in that relationship.
It’s transformational. Supportive. Healing. Liberating!
I speak from experience. I came to this kind of healing as I sought resources for my own kids. It started with a cranial sacral therapist who could sense messages from my baby and released birth trauma from her body. It grew into people who could explain certain dynamics and suggest approaches that honor the soul work I have with my kids. It has helped immensely to have images and ideas of what’s going on energetically that I can then work on in my daily interactions. And I’ve gotten my own healing along the way.
