I loved this email so much I have subscribed. So much of what you wrote resonated with me...I'm a late developer at 55! Only just learning to understand myself, my mental health, my limiting beliefs. It's been a long time coming and its tough going but the sense of freedom from realising I have choices, I do not have to follow an 'expected' path, its ok to have days where I slob on the sofa if I don't have the energy to go to the studio etc. etc. I grew up in a family system embedded with fear! Fear of what other people will think, fear that I'm not enough, fear that I 'should' be doing something a certain way but no-one gave me the right guide book. Writing like yours helps me to inch my way forward, move gently with tiny steps into a stronger, more confident version of myself. I'm not sure I'm ready to visit London again just yet although I do quite fancy taking myself off to a quiet retreat on my own and I have actually been cold water swimming ;-)
Hello Karen. Thank you so much for subscribing. I’m pleased to have you here. It’s so interesting how our upbringing sets us up with certain beliefs about what we can and can’t do. BUT realising that we can break those beliefs is so freeing. As you (and I) are doing xx
