Dear Reader,
If your inbox is anything like mine, it’s been taken over by holiday sales.
Yeack. I’m like exhausted from the pressure of it all. And so, I present to you a shopping free zone. I have nothing to sell in this newsletter, no discount countdowns, no pressure to buy.
No pressure at all. In fact, I hope to offer relief.
Here are a couple of ideas I’ve been exploring about over the last few months. I’ve found these topics to be relevant to my clients, and to the moment that we’re in culturally. Have a click on what appeals, or stow it away for a quiet moment as 2023 comes to a close.
The Power of Connection: Building Strong Relationships with Yourself and Others
This is it right now. Our surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, has just come out with a book on the subject, just about the same time as the longest running longitudinal study (brought to you by Harvard) did the same. This is an important subject, and may resonate for that thing that just isn’t quite right right now.
Understanding Generational Trauma: Breaking the Cycle and Healing
And this. Gabor Mate came out with a book on the subject last year, and there’s no better time than the holiday season to think about (and consider how you might repair from) generational trauma. This pain predates you, and it can stop with you.
What Is A Liminal Space – Understanding the Essence.
I encountered the concept of liminal spaces earlier this year, and fell in love with the idea. Originally an architecture term, a liminal space is the space between a more structured space, like a kitchen or a closet. It’s the space between. It has value and can deeply impact our bodies, minds and spirits.
Understanding Imposter Syndrome: What It Is and How to Overcome It in Work and Life
An oldie but a goodie, the concept of imposter syndrome comes up frequently with clients. See how this piece may offer relief.
And last,
That’s it my friends. Nothing to buy here. Just an exploration of some concepts that may offer relief.
Lots of love,
Allison
