Dr. Brené Brown does it again! I read her book recently, "Braving the Wilderness", which made me sob several times, so I had to read it again. More tears. But it is books like this that break you open, and I had can truly saw I had a paradigm shift.
The Wilderness = The crazy world of emotions, vulnerabilty, the unknown.
She talks a lot about major themes of the book here in this youtube video.
I recommend you listen, then read her book. You will thank yourself. Basically, the juice in this interview boils down to: you WILL have to be alone in what you're doing, but find those people that can support you. Put yourself out there in front of the people who might not support you. Don't assume the worst in everyone.
Why are we so disconnected as a civilization? My plans are to investigate this in my own life. Dr. Brown provided some literature on it, but life is meant to be experienced, so it's up to US to change things. And boy, do I want to change things. Working from home these last 2 years has given me more of this:
- flexibility
- autonomy
- anxiety
- lonliness
- confusion
- stress
...Some good things, but many gross things. Are you a freelancer? Have you experienced this? Talk to me.
The wildnerness has taught me so much, but I've only stepped in halfway. There's more.
In other news, here are some tarot cards I've been working on for the Spacious Tarot. They're coming along!!
