Between Breaths

There is a beautiful, striking irony in the phrase 'productive nothingness.' How can we be productive about nothing? In a world that constantly demands our output, the idea of doing nothing feels almost rebellious. This week, my Women’s Circle explored the lost art of play, simple pleasures, and what happens when we finally allow ourselves the space to just be.

What happens when women speak the unvarnished truth about money? In our Lakshmi Rising circle, we stripped back the spreadsheets and looked at the inheritance of our lineage- the mothers and grandmothers who worked undervalued and unnoticed. We explored why setting prices provokes contraction, why rest feels undeserved, and how the ancient archetype of Lakshmi can teach the modern woman to stop chasing worth and finally step into an internal state of ease.

I’ll tell you a secret: It is still incredibly difficult. In those moments when the circle requires me to be held at the center, the old sensations of unworthiness crawl up. I find myself wanting to deflect the attention, to 'give' a compliment back, or to minimize my own needs. I wonder how many of us struggle with this? How many of us have a 'receiving block' that we mistake for 'being helpful'?

Is revolution always born of rage, or can it stem from grounded insight? As I prepare for the "Claim Your Kali Power" workshop with Marina from Sea Change, I’m exploring how we can embrace personal and collective evolution. Whether you are breaking free from old patterns or challenging broken systems, it's time to decide: what kind of fire will fuel your change?

What happens when we stop forcing action and start from a place of being first? A reflection on doing, being, and stepping into spring in a more grounded, aligned way.

As one year closes and another begins, the question isn’t what we need to fix or achieve—but what we’re ready to say yes to. This reflection invites a softer start to the year, rooted in presence, trust, and the small, meaningful choices that shape our days.
