On the other side of burnout and hustle

…there is magic around the bend.

Jasmin sitting in nature. Self care. Burnout recovery. Cultivating aliveness and joy.

I have this knowing that it can be simpler

Simpler than the agony of pouring energy into spaces that no longer nourish

Moving into alignment

Unleashing creative forces.

I have this knowing

That it can be genuine

That if can be connected

That it can be life giving

That it can be magical

And...

I get caught up in webs of fear and stuckness

Old voices pop up with old narratives and old ways of doing and thinking about things

I lose sight of me, of connection to others

And the space to DREAM

When you start something new, there’s so much noise out there ... so much messaging...

It’s complex

It’s prescriptive

It’s overwhelming

It can clutter up your pathway of creativity

And...

It can be simpler

It can be quieter

It can be more nurturing

It can be more free, less fear

You need:

You

Your passion

Your ideas and creativity

Your voice

Your people

And some simple structures that simply support you as you live it, love it and share it with the world.

To find your way to embrace your wholeness in truth and safety…

Let those dreams fly free xx
