When we feel called to share our vulnerabilities, I believe it connects us at our deepest depths of humanity. And this episode is one of my more vulnerable shared moments.

When we say, "Hey I need some extra support right now" or catch ourselves isolating and feeling alone and choose to tell one other trusted person, we begin to let light in. Our freedom lies in community and in letting others hold us when we need to be held.

In this episode:
- Reflecting upon my travels through Italy & London during the past few months (some of the profoundly beautiful and some of the challenging moments)
- When our "grand plans" are nothing like what we expected
- Who are we when we're not constantly 'doing' the things that we usually equate with our identity - Reference: "We can Do Hard Things" podcast episode with Luvvie Ajayi Jones
- When our nervous system tells us "this ain't it!"
- My first concert since before the pandemic and it was EVERYTHING (David Keenan in London)
- My post-travels "Wintering"
- Letting ourselves be held when we are at capacity
- We are worthy, just by being
- Grappling with the disconnect on Instagram
- Taking the next step that feels good and brings peace -- Sharing my next life step.. back to Italy!
- Building our toolkits: letting emotions move through and processing, taking time to rebuild from within, reaching out to our people and using our resources (therapists, counselors, coaches, mentors, trusted friend(s), etc.)
- A Spotify Playlist for your listening pleasure - "Coffee, Walks & Toolkits" https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dUMxtU4VibPiqgOcYC1mH?si=ab50290176d94d1b
