In case you didn’t know I loved my job…
Captured perfectly by .mule; the moment sama insisted I take a compliment at my own event. As you can see - natural. Ie, wonderfully awkward but somehow still here for it….
Dropping you all a little Friday reminder 👉
Some of your greatest wins will be the ones that no one else can see. Strides in confidence that others might not imagine you’d faced; the moments you say yes, when a year before it would have been a fearful no; the relationships you end, or shift beyond, from a deepened sense of self that advocates for more; the break-throughs in authentic presence that find you safe, centred and curious, even in a crowd of people with all eyes on you….
I was asked recently whether I’d always been comfortable with visibility. The same question often comes with my actors and creatives, wanting that same sustained ease in their lives & performances.
My answer was very simple -
What it will take, is for you to become willing to share all of you with the audience that’s waiting. To gradually re pattern mind, heart and body - to recognise that there is no danger in being seen. Both the shine of you, and the rub.
To know, from your deep & salty essence, that your muddy human is still enough. Has always been enough. That chinks in the armour, flaws in performance - don’t undermine the intense value of everything you offer.
We learn over time that it wasn’t their eyes we were afraid of. It was all that we would fear or feel in letting them see us…
To be seen is intimacy; whether on stage or in love.
It’s an act of trust.
& in reality, there’s very little “they” can do “to you”. What haunts us is the things we do ourselves, as we survey our own imperfection.
Most of us learn early to shave off our more unseemly aspects to hide ourselves from hurt. We learn by osmosis what’s acceptable, and diligently follow suit. It therefore becomes radical, and profoundly expanding, to build a new premise: that your perfect imperfection is all that’s needed. Aka, your humanity.
As a culture, we’re crying out - not for more perfection, but for more truth. Don’t deny your audiences the medicine - it lives in you x
