Baaaaaaaaabes. We’ve almost made it.
Can we take a moment please? Back in March, when the world came crashing down, if I’d have known the layers and layers of things we would endure, I’d have been beyond help. Thank all the Gods we were clueless about what was to come.
Look at us, though! SURVIVING the logistical, emotional, and energetic demands of the year. We are fricking remarkable. So before you go any further, take a massive deep breath, would you? Go on- treat yourself to a lovely, expansive inhale, and a long, slow exhale, and give yourself a literal pat on the back. I hope you can feel proud of yourself.
One of the things that I think has been most testing about this experience is that it has not been a straight line- far from it. Back in the summer, when I was running “Audacity Is The Answer” Live, there was some optimism. We were about to eat out to help out, the weather was awesome, the evenings were light, and I felt a lovely vibe in my community- people were energised and ready to get back in the drivers’ seats of their lives.
A few months on, we found ourselves back in lockdown, there’ve been tiers, tears and so many fears, and quite frankly, most of us are EXHAUSTED.
I’ve made some tweaks to this workshop series to reflect this, and the new info that is emerging about the impact of the pandemic on women’s lives.
