The sturdy foundation that makes big magic possible. (In love, work & community.)
Introducing 6 newly certified ReBloom Coaches!!
Beloveds,
You may have noticed that I’ve taken my content to some wilder, more expressive edges lately. *raises left eye brow*
You’re not wrong.
I’ve been thinking a LOT about what makes it possible to go to new, true edges inside ourselves… and then show up and share authentically. In business. In creativity. In love. In community.
For the sake of feeling radically fulfilled. For the sake of sharing our most enlivening work / selves / expression in the world.
It’s actually not easy.
There are a zillion internal barriers that often stop us from exuding the truth of our hearts… our core identities, our most earnest art, our most hopeful desires, or genuine upsets.
And almost all of those barriers come down to trauma. The trauma of not being seen and received – either intimately or collectively – with love, safety, respect and regard, when we’ve previously revealed the truth in our hearts.
In ReBloom, the third of the seven archetypes for post-traumatic growth is the Expressionista. Core Wound: Shame & Repression. Natural Blueprint of Health: Whole Self Expression.
And the path from the wound to the blueprint?
It’s 3 parts:
Being able to regard the wholeness of every little truth in your heart as sacred. As medicine. Holy. Meant to be. GOOD. Deserving of love, in its most complex luscious fullness.
Sharing the contents of your heart (your identity, art, loves, disgusts, songs, longings and desires) with a safe intimate circle of solidarity, celebration and support. People who get you, accept you, protect you, and cheer you on.
From these first two steps, the bloom of your heart begins to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth and belonging, which feels somatically like regulation, resiliency and capacity. And from that place, you naturally begin to bloom bigger, to embolden and emanate for all the world to see.
Often, we skip the first and second step, expecting ourselves to be able to radically express ourselves without foundational relational safety and self-regard in place.
(Or we shortchange how much nurturance we allow ourselves to have, receiving only from familiar givers or sources, rarely stretching into new territories of care, too scared of what might happen.)
And then we wonder why we want to crawl into a hole and hide for weeks or months, years or decades… either after we’ve shared ourselves, in full, or before we’ve mustered the courage to.
We wonder what’s wrong with us that we can’t muscle ourselves into shameless confidence.
We wonder if the truth in our hearts is even worth it… or if we’d be better off living a half-expressed version of ourselves that at least allows us to maintain levels of acceptability and inclusion, relative stability and familiarity.
I believe you deserve to know what it’s like to share the fullness of your heart and be received, celebrated, supported and protected for doing so.
I believe you deserve to know how it feels to reveal more and more of your hidden magic, only to discover that that yeah – not everyone will love it – but you can be MORE loved by the ones who are your truest bluest meant-to-be beloveds.
And this… this intimate communion of YES… is worth turning away from the need for approval from the masses.
I believe you deserve to know in your bones who you were always meant to grow into all along, and then to revel in the sound of your wildest, truest song quivering through your lips… holy shit. Here. I. Am.
And if I’ve learned anything in 15 years of supporting people on transformative journeys of post-traumatic growth, it’s this: the foundation you embody determines your capacity for expansion.
I believe you deserve a strong foundation of unconditional self-regard and an unbreakable coven of care that has your back wherever you go, however you show yourself to the world.
And if those two things are hard for you, I believe you deserve the kind of support that can help make them easier to receive.
SO!
I want to introduce you to 6 new dazzling ReBloom Coaches, all of which have gone through a rigorous 18-month training in facilitating somatic post-traumatic growth.
These beloveds have done ample peer-to-peer practicums, received lots of coaching themselves, been supervised multiple times, and are their own living breathing embodiments of truth-aligned leadership.
Perhaps one of them can help you ReBloom your heart’s truest medicine. ;)
