In the last two episodes I talked about some personal experiences I’ve had with my life falling apart and the ways I had to change and shift as a person in order to get through them.
What I didn’t talk about was how scary that time was and how unsupported I felt in so many ways, and how I got around it.
We’ve all been there. Maybe you lost your job, got divorced, made a bad investment, a loved one died unexpectedly, or you’ve recently discovered you have an illness…these are all normal parts of the modern Human experience and happen to people every day.
And in that moment of what the *actual* fuck that we go through when we hit rock bottom, how do we find our way through?
For me, it’s summed up as: we ask for support and learn to receive it.
In our hyper-individualized society, learning to receive it is the hardest part. When I was younger I wore a badge of honor when it came to being a strong, independent woman who didn’t need anything from anyone…
Until the moment I did…
And even then, Humans didn’t show up for me the way I needed, which made me even more scared.
Enter our beloved Mother Earth…
I truly believe that she is the way we remember how to receive as the Great Mother who nurtures & supports us.
When we turn to Nature, we remember how truly supported we are and it becomes a beacon of light in a dark place.
In today’s episode I share about how we can get there and the different practices and way of seeing the world that will bring you back to a place of gratitude, even amongst life’s hardships.
