Or, at least not for me.
β But this fall was special. I launched a new program, and I invited a few ladies who are close to me to try it out, to learn alongside me as I worked out the kinks, and to grow together.β
β I'll be honest, this element of familiarity actually made me a little nervous. What if they don't get anything out of it? What if they feel like it's a waste of time? Can I be a compassionate observer and guide when I have deeper connections with those I'm meant to teach?β
β Yes. The answer is yes.β
β And, you know what? The reward of witnessing growth and working through resistance with these amazing women taught me so much. β
β It taught me that we really can learn and grow together when we show up equally for ourselves and the group.β
β It taught me that we're all responsible for our own growth.β
β It reminded me that we are always evolving, no matter how much wisdom and experience we have.β
β When I asked at the end of the course, "What is one of your biggest takeaways from this experience?" she said:β
Confidence to take a chance and follow my heart; to believe in myself and my capabilities.
β And I know she's not just saying that because she's my mom. I know because I, too, saw this shift in her.β
β THIS is the power of finding and standing up in your Full Voice. β β₯οΈβ
