A Truthful Share

An invitation to give yourself grace

Hello friends.

I’ve been quiet for a while. I’ve made half a move to Substack but it feels like I’m starting from scratch. It’s stopped me writing and with that the weeks slip by.

I haven’t got much to say but I just wanted to say hello. I wanted to write something.

One small step forward.

Mainly though I am writing because I want to show up with the truth. The truth is, I feel stuck and I continue to want to hide.

I noticed recently that I hardly have any recent photos of me. Years ago I had plenty. I had so much energy. I was on stages and on social media everyday.

Now I don’t know what I want to do apart from the fact that I want to create spaces for people to feel seen and heard.

I’m really interested in creating a workshop to explore what I’ve been calling the human void. To me the human void is something that many of us experience. A feeling that something is missing.

It could be a lingering sense of unfulfilment, a desire for deeper relationships or a longing for greater purpose. I think that rather than see these feelings as negative we can instead use these feelings as invitation to grow.

I don’t have a full plan on how to execute this but I’m taking steps to explore it. All I do know for certain is that my own community Like Hearted Leaders is coming up to its five year anniversary and it’s a transformational space. I think we need more spaces like this in the world and if I can do it once, I can do it again.

I share all of this with you because I know that it can be hard to motivate yourself and to show up when running a business and I think it’s ok to acknowledge this once in a while. We can be so hard on ourselves. Let’s normalise the journey and give light to the days, weeks, months when you feel like you are going round in circles.

So I think that’s all I have for now. My heart is a little heavy at the moment. However, brighter days are coming, for me and for you, so give yourself grace.

Big love

Claire :)
