“instead of trying to erase the ache.” This is what I’ll be sitting with. I love how you’ve stated metabolizing feelings/reactions rather than getting over or past them. It’s got me noodling about myself and my role as a group facilitator.
Once again you pierced my soul with this one. This is the statement I’m working through in my own life right now:
What society often frames as "falling apart" or "being too emotional" is actually the courageous work of reclaiming parts of yourself that have been silenced. It's not collapse — it's revolution. It's finding your way back to wholeness, one uncomfortable feeling at a time.
Because I’ve been cracked open and I can’t stop the leak now. I’m spending a lot of time with my feelings and making up for years of ignoring them. I cued up Live to Tell on your playlist and before I even started the timer I was crying. It’s what I do now. I should get paid for these tears. I’d be a trillionaire. But instead of stopping the tears I’ve gotten real comfortable with them.
Thank you for creating a series that sees us, like really sees us, as woman who have thrived through a lifetime of conditioning and now are ready to bust out. It’s a beautiful, sacred, messy, fucked up, joyous ride. Love you Nad.
Love this! Avoidance will always bite us and in midlife we are just too damned tired to outrun it.
Haha. Preach!!
