Summer➡️Fall 2025
My online presence has dramatically changed over the past years - no wonder! Moving and parenthood is extremely time consuming. My offerings have significantly reduced as well. And I am finally OK with it; I've finally landed into a certain truth and its reality.
On ☀️ summer solstice ☀️ I quite my job. I worked in that field for over 8 years. To a degree, it was who I had become. That career shaped me, but didn't serve me anymore. And I didn't realize it until it was over. I didn't realize how much it took me away from things that truly matter: spending quality time with my family, ideally in natue... I was absolutely stuck in a state of 'functional freeze', like a burntout zombie. I wish I had spent more time consulting the trees during this time. You learn and grow.
What followed though was a summer of adventure!!! I took on a summer position at a different workplace with much better hours (and pay) and this process liberated me. We spent so much time outside: discoved new beaches, paddled a lot, went on hikes... Our home was overall cleaner as well. Slowly, but surely: I felt an end to this massive burnout. I have returned to a more playful self and enjoy my parent role much more again. I even feel more connected to my partner (bye-bye roommate phase?). My mental state and soul seem to be improving. I dearly hope my body gets to experience this sooner than later, too.
Meanwhile, the land here was and still is experiencing a massive drought and several forest fires. That resulted is a temporary ban to enter the forest. That had a very 'Covid 19 Pandemic Lockdown' feel to it. My unpopular opinion: there were valid points on both 'sides'; There were Pros and Cons of this government's decision and the public's response to it. Politics...
I will be returning to the world of guiding this fall with 3 different offerings. That's plenty to be honest - for me and after this extreme summer, perhaps also for the natural world!
As we continue to navigate our place and impact on this Earth 🌎 ... continue to explore how you can connect, love and show up.
Connect with, love and show up for yourself, nature and all its beings. It truly matters!
