A Slow Practice in Perception and Creativity
What happens when we slow down enough to truly see ourselves, the world, and our inner experience?
In this personal reflection, I explore what Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is teaching me about perception, creativity, and the qualities of Presence. It’s an invitation into a gentler way of learning—where we loosen the grip of the inner critic, listen more deeply, and rediscover the wonder in simply looking.
An Introduction to Parts Work
The foundation of my coaching practice is an incredibly supportive method for growing self-compassion and getting to know ourselves more deeply. If you’ve ever said, “Part of me wants to, but another part just doesn’t”? That little phrase points to something at the heart of what’s called Parts Work. I’ve written a piece to introduce you to this simple yet powerful way of understanding yourself by getting to know the different “parts” inside you. Inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), this approach helps you listen to your inner world with curiosity, compassion, and Presence. It’s not about fixing or improving yourself—it’s about building relationships with every part of you.
Feelings Are Meant to Be Felt
What are your feelings trying to tell you? It’s worth our time to explore. Our emotions hold deep wisdom, guiding us toward our needs, values, and priorities. When we learn to welcome and understand them, we unlock greater clarity, resilience, and purpose in navigating life’s complexities.
Befriending Your Inner Critic
If you are facing self-doubt, perfectionism, or procrastination, your inner critic may be active—but what happens if you learn to befriend it?
It’s possible to transform our relationship with our inner critic. By approaching it with curiosity and compassion, we can uncover its positive intentions and move toward deeper self-acceptance.
Transformation and Lasting Change
Transformation and change. What makes transformation possible? What gets in the way of change? These are big questions. It’s through responding and doing something differently and consistently that we feel the shift that some transformation has occurred.
