Wow, this is incredible! Your words hit so deeply on so many parts of my own experience. Really working on rewiring my inner β€œgood girl”. Also been reflecting lately on how I’ve been called β€œmature” since childhood. I wore it like a badge of honour. But that was another way I was conditioned to be - and it made me absolutely terrified to be β€œimmature”. Now at 28, I’m creating space for my playful, immature, weird self!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It’s amazing how those early labelsβ€”like being the β€œmature” oneβ€”can feel like badges of honour, yet quietly box us in, isn’t it? I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that you’re welcoming your playful, weird, and delightfully β€œimmature” side! Honestly, it sounds like you’re at the start of such a liberating and joyful chapter, one where all of you gets to shine. Here’s to more silliness, freedom, and a whole lot of fun along the way! Keep embracing your beautiful self! 🌸

Such a pleasure. It was so cathartic and I genuinely enjoyed writing it. Sometimes I don’t know my own thoughts or processes until I write them down for you to read and then it becomes a a double gift: one for you and one for me.

Most welcome and it’s been a pleasure, Vienda. Really appreciate your taking the time to respond with such a lovely and heartwarming message (and oh, I forgot, I also have your Planher and a number of your courses, both paid and the free ones 😊). Keep doing what you do and shining your light!
