Comfort can fall into two extremes.
We either chase and practically idolise it, trying to get our lives to exist permanently in our perfect comfort zone - or we resist it everywhere, seeing it as less than, and an enemy to our growth and progress, the comfort zone is a place to turn our noses up at.

But what if we saw comfort as part of the process of loving ourselves well, and setting ourselves up for growth and success, by rightly determining when to lean in, and when to accept additional pressure.

Join me on this exploration.

Continuing on the birthday processing, from Episode 058 - Age Is But A Number, today I am thinking about how we can put a lot of pressure on our birthdays to make us feel a certain way.
Perhaps if we focused more on filling our hearts and selves with the things that we see as 'special birthday treats' more regularly, then we could arrive at our birthdays with a lot more peace, and be more able to enjoy them.

I'm no 'Personal Style Guru', I mean I've learnt a few things and am much clearer on the colours that suit me best and make me feel like I look awake, alive and healthy - but I do think that learning to honour our preferences and use what we've learned in our own artistry and personal journey, in our sense of style and how we dress, has real value.

How can you authentically show up in your life and artistry if you are feeling physically uncomfortable in what you are wearing?

How often as a kid at school were you told to show your workings out?

In certain situations (eg. maths exams) this is to our benefit, in order to help someone understand our process and give us clarity on how to get to where we are trying to go.

But sometimes it can leave us with a sense that we need to get someone else's approval or sign off on how we are doing, mid way through the process, and I don't think this is helpful for our creativity and the ability stay present.

Maybe there is room for mystery and trust, and I would suggest more joy too.

Birthdays can be tricky for many of us, feeling like milestones and marker points in our lives, yet they don't always coincide with where we hoped or thought we'd be. But what if age really was just a number, and the real marker points where how much more fully we know and have stepped into who we are?

In nature there are laws of seed time, and harvest... some plants spend ages underground before emerging , but then grow rapidly, bloom and die, whereas others are slow to grow at all, yet last longer, growing from strength to strength.
Babies gestate in the hidden place of the womb for 9 months before emerging.
Yet we can often be led to expect ourselves to be always producing content and 'evidence of time well spent'.

I think there is a lot to be said for NOT being productive.
At least not in every season... because if we try, we shall burn out. But when we learn to trust the timing - long or short - of the time in the dark, putting down our roots, we can experience more joy and better quality of work when it is time to put it out in the world.

Hi there you lovely listeners!

So for those of you who have been listening a while, you may have noticed the sporadic output and the near radio silence for over a year.
Burnout, life and moving have played a huge part in that, so here is a slightly shorter episode filling you in on the plan going forward.

Thank you for sticking with me.

Have you ever been told that in order to survive and get on in this world, you need to develop a thick skin?
Maybe you've been led to believe that softness is weakness (and not in a good way), and that to be soft is to be less-than.

Well I don't think so!

What if, in order to grow into our creativity and our relationships with more freedom, softness was the way forward?

Join me today as I explore why I don't think that the process of softening isn't stupidity.

In today's episode I reference Braving The Wilderness by Brené Brown, a great book, well worth reading.
