My grief and uncertainty has had me thinking a lot about my self leadership journey lately.
Gratitude’s been my constant companion.
I feel so blessed to be able to support myself in the ways that I do and I know for sure that the moments of growth and confidence that have shaped the quality of how I show up for myself have come when I’ve felt deeply supported.
Doing the inner work is life changing.
Being supported to grow and bring those changes to life by someone who gets it, who can hold, guide and celebrate you in real time? That’s transcendent.
There’s a sweet spot that mentorship hits that other avenues of self development often don’t access (especially if you’re experiencing them solo like I was a lot of the time).
Is it the devoted 1:1 support and guidance while simultaneously showing up in the ways that stretch you? Maybe.
Is it the intimate, unbiased reflection and help seeing the forest through the trees? Maybe.
Or is it simply the gift of being SEEN, HEARD and EXPRESSED in ways that often seem impossible in daily life?
I think it’s all of it.
One of the resounding things I hear from my clients is that they feel so seen, heard and understood.
It’s not that their other intimate relationships aren’t rich and supportive, it’s that support and perspective filtered from an outside lens just lands different (it can also be A LOT easier to express yourself openly when there’s no fear of bias, hidden agendas or hurt feelings)
On the back of International Women’s day it feels appropriate to say that now more than ever we need more {{ well supported women }} in the world.
Whether through mentorship, friendship, partnership or leadership, may we each extend a hand to lift each other up in which ever way possible.
