I’ve worked with some really awesome people over

I’ve worked with some really awesome people over the past few years.

My Psychosexual Somatics Therapy course leaders Mike and Louise taught me how to work as an intimacy coach: how to ask the right questions, how to stay present, how to support others to make sense of their challenges.

Jon and Gary, who I've worked with on their businesses for most of my adult life, taught me almost everything I know about digital marketing (Jon is actually my oldest friend - we met on a chatroom back in 2002, but that’s another story for another day. Needless to say we have met IRL many times since then.)

Di at @yourtimetotalk has taught me how to think about my needs and core beliefs differently, and to challenge the ways I limit myself.

And @heyheyshawnamay taught me how to actually sell my skills by initiating the right conversations.

These people are all absolute experts at what they do, and when I’m feeling stuck or stressed out I can ask myself, ‘What would Louise recommend I do?’ or, ‘How would Shawna approach this?’

(Sometimes the answer to that question is to chill the fuck out and make things easier on myself... Sometimes it’s to stick it out for just a little bit longer.)

The reason this works so well is because it gets me out of my own head for a minute. It helps me to see things from a different perspective and connect to wisdom bigger than myself.

Who have you learned the most from? Whose perspectives do you access when you’re feeling challenged? Tag them below!

Three years ago I started my first sharing circle

Three years ago I started my first sharing circle with a handful of strangers in a church hall. I was incredibly nervous; I remember doing a lot of googling beforehand – “how to start a women’s circle,” “what is a sharing circle,” “does a talking stick need to actually be a stick.”

I found some answers, made some of it up myself, and collaborated on plenty of it with the folks who eventually joined me.

Since then, sharing circles have been a constant in my life and I’ve made some really wonderful friends as a result. It’s a form of ritualised socialising: it gives meaning and intention to the time we spend together, and through the process of simply sharing and listening I know I am a stronger, more resilient, and wiser human.

Here are some top tips if you’d like to start your own:

1. Start asking around any interest or community groups you’re already a part of. Sharing circles work great when you come together with people you don’t already know too well, but with whom you have a little bit in common.

2. Make sure everyone has an equal amount of uninterrupted time to share. Four or five minutes is a good amount. You can try two rounds of sharing if you like.

3. Set explicit shared agreements around confidentiality, non-judgement, no interrupting, and no unsolicited advice or feedback. This helps to create a safer environment for everyone to start opening up.

If you avoid feeling certain ‘negative’ emotio

If you avoid feeling certain ‘negative’ emotions, you cut yourself off from a huge source of power.

Avoiding emotions may look like:

- pretending nothing is wrong
- distracting yourself
- engaging in addictive behaviour
- avoiding situations, such as conflicts, that may trigger certian emotions

More challenging emotions such as sadness and anger always show up to tell us something. Whether it’s that a boundary has been violated, that we’re not living in alignment with our values, or simply that something is important to us, there are always important messages behind what we feel.

If you often suppress or avoid these emotions, you’re shutting yourself off from that knowledge.

Next time you notice an emotion that feels uncomfortable, how might it be to give it a little bit of space? If you have some time and privacy, how might it be to sit quietly for five minutes and give yourself permission to feel it?

Which emotions have most energy for you?
