We are conditioned in society, in families, in work environments, that productivity rules. So if we are producing less, we are less, we make less, we experience less.

So first we get to get curious about what it is that we really want to experience? And a clue to that is what do we really value.

I’m guessing that if you’re hanging in my space - even a little - what’s really important is your family. And even more specifically, your kids. Their feelings, their emotions, their dreams, their gifts, feeling seen and heard and witnessed.

And all around that we have created a whole host of false structures to allow us to align to our children.

Which causes us to chase after more money to pay more bills resulting in more separation.

So what is the new strategy?

It’s integration. It’s wholeness. It’s bringing your family and your kids closer.

I know, I hear you, that might sound crazy right now when what you really might be needing is a break.

I get it. I used to be the queen of “needing a break”.

And, now what I know to be true is that when I’m feeling that way there is an energy leak or a misalignment in my system that I can resolve by shifting the energy.

And shifting the energy also usually shows itself in my life by creating different or better boundaries, speaking my needs more clearly, or working with a discomfort or irritation in my system.

All of this to say, I hear you. A break sounds lovely. And breaks are good too. I’m not saying NO to breaks.

But I am inviting the possibility that a break - or separation - is not necessary to create your vision and mission AND be the parent you want to be for your children.
