Speaking and living from your heart and soul is scary at first. For the vast majority of us, it means that we have to let go of or let a part of us die. We have to sift through and have a real awakening of what was us, what we picked up unconsciously were programmed with along the way and who we actually are at the soul level. Then we have to be brave to step up into that space and actually live from there.

I see this happening all around me and frankly all inside of me.

I have resistance too.

Will I be labeled/othered

Will I be liked

Will I be loved by my family of origin

Will I be understood

Will I be burned.

This week the stories that have weaved themselves through in my life have been all about this.

This reckoning this longing for and connection to something deeper.

This longing, a place of soul speaking, this coming home to ourselves, is the work of the 40’s and 50’s. We have to come apart to come back together.

What does the longing feel like….like there is a part of you that you want to touch, that you want to give space to grow, that aches for attention and yet there is also a knowing somewhere deep inside you of what it will bring about. The chaos and death so to speak that will ensue.

When we don’t entertain and listen to this longing we often get a crisis moment.

This week’s podcast weaves the stories of women that I have come across as well as my own that are traversing this space and allowing this soul piece to grow inside.
