Sometimes we all need to pivot, be that making a change in our environment, career, or habits. 2021 was another huge year for me; moved house, got married, became a dual citizen, and saw my family for the first time in 2 years. All this change can be intimidating and scary (no joke there were times when I felt sick to my stomach).
Pivoting does not have to be massive shifts all the time to create a significant change in our lives. It is often said that if you throw a rock and create a ripple in one place it becomes a wave on the other side of the ocean. For my 2022 I want it to feel more like a sailing trip around the Mediterranean rather than riding the high seas like the last couple of years has been. This does not mean that I have abandoned big goals, there are plenty of those but ones where the focus is more on foundational stability and grounding.
In 2022 one of those shifts for me is to move my business focus from solely trauma related to helping people create lightness and feel more grounded in 2022. That does not mean abandoning trauma work altogether just shifting the primary focus from trauma to stability and grounding. With so much change in our lives at the moment I find more and more people wanting to feel some sense of control and not all over the place.
There are two reasons for making the shift in my business.
First, is a personal one, I want to serve more people and help people feel more grounded – who couldn’t do with a bit more of that in their lives? Also, being focused primarily on trauma means I often work with fewer people at a time as I find fewer people are ready to do trauma work at the moment, not to mention at times I am working on my own trauma and it would not be appropriate for me to work with lots of clients when I cannot be fully present for each and every one of them.
Second, I feel a lot of people, whilst aware of their traumas and acknowledging that they will inevitably need to do more trauma work, are also not ready to do that just yet, especially as we enter a third year of living with Covid restrictions and uncertainty. I know for myself constant uncertainty and shifts in restrictions has left me wanting more grounding in my own life and I continue to work with my own coach on that.
Over the next few weeks and months you will see more content focused around feeling grounded and having stronger foundations. The website is going to get a bit of an overhaul too.
