This week I’ve been sitting in a lot of unknowns. 

You know that feeling when something new is coming but you’re not quite sure what it is? 

The last time I had this knowing I was entering/in a state of transition was just before Chloe came to be. I wasn’t sure what I was searching for so instead I chose to consciously create a lot of space for stillness, learning and nourishment so that I could be in a space to say yes and receive the next chapter. I knew I was preparing for something. While I didn’t quite think it was having a baby as quickly as I did, when the opening came I knew with my whole being that I was a yes. That clear yes still carries me through any challenge with a simultaneous ease and deep fulfillment. 

Now, we don’t always have such an intense level of knowing and clarity. Sometimes is a bit quieter and requires us to be so attuned to our own frequency that we can hear the subtle nudges guiding us. 

I find myself again cultivating space to be able to hear those subtle (or maybe loud) cues again.  

This time I’m leaning into movement, nourishing my body, and taking some intentional steps to explore. Similar type of season and yet my approach is so different given where I’m at. And, at the heart of it—it’s all about connection. 

Connection to you in your body and being is what being in your flow is all about. 

I’m realizing there are so many ways we can explore when we’re uncertain or waiting. We can do it from fear, scarcity or need…or we can explore from an expansive place of feeling something out and following your flow. This means not trying to make something happen while still being open to something new. 

The more rigidity you hold, the more challenging it is to hear those intuitive whispers. 

There are times to sit in a pause to gain clarity. (That could be for moments, weeks or even years, this approach may be wait until your clear.) Or, a more active pause like I did where I meditated a lot. I wasn’t trying to find an answer all the time but my work was being able to hold space for my knowing as I was ready. I didn’t know how long it would take and I didn’t mind that all. 

I often repeated an old saying one of my mentors said “I know yet to be revealed.” The knowing met with allowance and space is like a big deep breath of relief for your nervous system. This is a much more validating experience than “ I don’t know” which often feels like a big AHH or GRRR to your nervous system. 

Now with the allowing time and space for a pause, there are also times to take intentional and aligned actions to create movement in order to feel things out. 

This feels more appropriate with a few decisions I’m sitting with right now. So, for the next two months up until my birthday so many opportunities for creative exploration have come my way. I just went to the hot springs to sit with how it felt. Was I rushing to say yes? Am I trying to lock in a specific outcome? I finally got to a place of ease, flow and allowance. A freedom and space to explore without need. That as much as I want something new, I’m also completely fulfilled in each moment exactly where I am when I’m in a place of trust. 

I realize some trial and error and new environments could really help create momentum. So rather than just sitting on it, I’m intentionally moving and noticing any little moments of getting ungrounded, having need or pressure. 

I like to look at this chapter as one for preparing and embracing the spaciousness and sacredness in the uknowns of this season. 

I know many of you share the different types of transitions you’re in with me so today I thought I’d share a little about my journey and how I’m looking at my next steps with you.

I LOVE hearing from you and it helps me create new content for you as well so please keep commenting and sharing 🙂 

See you next week,
