Be More Connected

I lead a group program called the Growth Collective on Wednesday nights, and this week one of the themes that came up was how wanting things, and having real desires, doesn’t always feel safe. ♥️

Have you ever caught yourself pretending you don’t want something…just so you won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t happen?

For a lot of us, desire can feel reallyyyy vulnerable.
So we shrink our vision before the world ever gets the chance to hear it or respond to it.

That conversation has been swirling around in my mind for the last few days.

One of the desires I’ve been sitting on for a long time is the desire to claim myself as a singer and songwriter.
And honestly, it’s something I’ve been scared to say out loud for years. 😳🫣

But recently I’ve been giving myself that creative challenge of setting a timer for 25 minutes and giving myself space to write a song about something that I’m experiencing/learning/loving. Today, I gave myself some time to write a song inspired by our Growth Collective call…

And something kind of magical came through.✨

And now, instead of feeling scared to share it… I actually feel excited !!!

This is my scrappy first draft. Excited to share more of my songwriting journey with you here! 💫

Also, I’m looking for a singing and songwriting mentor to work with this year! If you have any recs I would appreciate them so, so much! 🙏🏽💕

If this resonated with you, I’d love to hear, what’s one desire you’re ready to stop hiding? ❤️‍🔥
