Putting something new out into the world can feel vulnerable, uncomfy, and generally a bit scary. Especially during a time where there is so much grief, struggle, fatigue and general dumpster fire-ness that we are all collectively experiencing on some level. Honestly, I’ve tried to write this newsletter about a dozen times. I feel keenly aware of just how much we are taking in all the time and the weight many of us feel from what we’ve been experiencing collectively over the last few years (and beyond). I’ve also struggled to figure out how to share my work while I continue to make my way through an incredibly difficult season of grief and depression. Truth be told I’ve been having a really tough time. And simultaneously I’m excited for you to listen to the podcast and hopefully resonate with it. I’m looking forward to offering restorative yoga classes again. This both/and is reminding me of one of the important and completely normal parts of being human. The fact that we can feel multiple things at once. It is something we don’t always hold space for with ourselves and/or with one another. Especially when we’re experiencing feelings that seem to contradict. The reality is you can feel both excited and exhausted. You can feel courageous and scared. Experience grief and happiness. Feel both sad and hopeful. How human of you to contain multitudes. What might it feel like to hold space for that? To allow yourself to feel supported and held as you feel into the messiness of your very human emotions? In doing so you are embracing your humanity and your innate need to be seen and supported. I know that doesn’t always feel easy. Remember any amount of your humanity you hold space for and meet with a sense of compassion is worth it.
