For so long, when I was counseling/coaching/holding space for women, I would find myself so overwhelmed by it all.
I mean, right? Women…people….can hold so much.
I thought my job as a midwife or mentor was to (subconsciously) take more on than I should and feel more than was mine. Somehow I was taught that was helpful, or maybe that was listening or holding space.
But it’s not.
Working now with women through the channel of their own bodies has changed MY life. Every woman is a unique treasure chest, in her own body, of possibility and also memory and life and trauma and achievement.
Now when I counsel/coach/mentor, I am finally comfortable sitting in the mess.
It’s not overwhelming because it’s not my job to fix it. I witness what her body does, what dots allow her to connect her patterns, and I remind her above all that she’s f*cking amazing.
Working in this way is what I’ve always wanted, because it reminds me of my own power and that women who access power in their bodies can and will change their own lives.
More joy, more money, better relationships.
The possibilities are endless and I am so lucky to work in the world in this way.
Serving women has always been life changing for me, but working through my own garbage and traumas has enabled me to see even more clearly where women are at and how to guide them through.
I do this work every day. And will be teaching more about it in the new reveal of our midwifery offering, coming in September.
