Journey2bloom: Filled With Detours and No Directions

Journey's come with detours and no directions. Start stop, stall, U-Turn, roadblocks and yes, sometimes even dead-ends. I have learned how the lessons taught along the way help us course correct, redirect, sometimes stop us in our tracks, and ultimately, whether we know it or not, lead us to exactly where we are meant to be. Of course we will question decisions, react vs. respond with answers, get frustrated by roadblocks during our travels, often caused by the very thoughts we put in our minds for fear of unknow, lack of trust in ourselves, others or perhaps because we just don't know what we don't know. Often getting get stuck in a traffic circle of what if's and why not's along the way. Eventually finding our way out of the circle. Sound familiar? If so, I encourage you to give yourself the space to reflect without shame nor judgement, on how far you have come, how much you have done for your child or a child you know - I suspect if you dig deep enough - you will find moments of gratitude. Perhaps not on the same shores, yet certainly on similar roads with bumps, turns, cliffs from time to time.

Allow yourself to Be vulnerable, Be courageous enough to ask for help and Be OK: saying I don't know - asking for help - not having the answers because sometimes it really is OK not being ok.

Today's topic differs slightly because of my most recent detour I unintentionally gave myself the opportunity to learn the gift of vulnerability, focusing on what I can control so I could show up at the highest level of worthiness and value. I have learned the art of engaging, influencing and impacting those who are willing to lean in and listen. Ironically as I was leading others through their personal and professional transformation - they were helping me get back in touch with my true identity, fall into full alignment with my purpose and passion and ultimately become a better version of myself.

Surrounded by a few key people showing up for me every day in a non-judgmental way. Getting to teach and lead executive leaders to understand why vulnerability is a sign of strength and servant leadership leads to amazing opportunities. Clients showing up open to receive, listening and engaging in whatever topic showed up during 1:1 mindset coaching or group coaching sessions that led to lifechanging breakthroughs for many. This combination of learnings ultimately led me to finding the calm courage to go all in on helping parents find their voice - bringing to the forefront - clarity, confidence, clarity and a voice that provides the foundation for one's own version of my #journey2bloom.

A kind and gentle reminder - my mission is to lay the groundwork for a path of collaboration, open communication and vulnerability that allows everyone to speak their truth, concerns and valuable insights, creating cohesive partnerships and a roadmap that truly benefits the child. This could be a toddler, adolescent, teenage, young adult or adult learner.
