Holy f*ck...
It's been a hard, long 3 months.
Or maybe 6.
I've wanted to write so many things + it's all been a bit overwhelming.
Lots of therapy in my grief journey.
Getting through winter as it's not my best season.
Menopause, sigh. I'm just not as energetic as I used to be.
All things considered, I'm shugging along coming to terms with all the things.
It hasn't been business as usual. I've been maintaining the status quo. Not shrinking but definitely not expanding. Because adjusting to the shock of this new administration has definitely been harder than I expected.
I've joined several new local groups of loving humans because community has become urgent. I've always had a small, intimate group of friends + while I love them dearly, I also realized it's absolutely necessary to gather + connect with more folks I resonate with.
So I have...
I needed to know there was other folks feeling the same way I was feeling.
Freaked out.
Uncertain.
Overwhelmed.
Scared.
Troubled.
Tired.
Anxious af.
But also wanting/needing to do something.
Anything.
And I've found community strength + support to be a powerful thing to have in my life.
I'm not alone.
We are not alone.
Real connection.
Hard conversations.
Deep care.
Community energy.
Daily actions.
These are the things that have helped me through lately.
On this journey I've come to realize that my business requires more of this collective community care...
I've been contemplating how to create a space for real, raw, hard conversation that envelope business + life as they are intricately intertwined.
Each effects the other.
So, I'm thinking...
Free bi-weekly zoom.
Community
Connection
Care
A mix of business + real life.
Coaching
Strategy
Conversations
I also want to be super clear about whom this might be for...
Anyone who is struggling with the current administration's policies.
You're paralyzed with fear of what's next.
You're uncertain how to navigate business in this economic uncertainty.
You feel isolated.
You might be scared to use your voice for the things you believe in.
You are a lgbtq ally + you're struggling with the hate against people you love with all your heart.
You're pro Palestinian people.
You're pro Isreal people.
You're anti hamas.
You're anti Isreal government + genocide.
You're anti war.
You're pro peace.
You see the nuance.
Despite the polarizing of our governments.
You love America.
And you're anti trump.
You believe our country can do better.
You know our country was never great.
History tells us this.
It's ok to be both.
You wonder how to grow your business in a way that doesn't contribute to a white, supremacy, capitalistic, greedy machine.
You're pro choice.
You whole heartedly support your trans community + it's heart wrenching to watch targets being put on their very existence daily.
We're living in hard times.
These are very real hurts.
It's so important to acknowledge that these things impact us + our businesses.
It's exhausting to keep up the fight.
And yet, here we are.
This is where I'm at.
Wanting to create community centered around the issues that matter to me with like minded, heart centered humans.
Is anyone else feeling the deep need to connect + feel supported in these difficult times?
Let me know what your thoughts are.
I'd love to hear what you think.
Big hugs as we continue to grow our businesses in a way that spreads care + community.
Xxoo
