Who are you NOT to do something?

The world is burning — are you going to continue to hide behind fear, perfectionism and comfort?

It’s tough love time. In case you need a pep talk, here’s one:

I have met so many amazing, passionate, brilliant humans (mostly women) through my coaching — each of them desperate to help heal the world, yearning for community and support, yet riddled with doubts.

It never ceases to amaze me how many truly gifted, insightful, sensitive people, who are deeply intuitive, able to see the invisible threads connecting all the aspects of our world, have been conditioned by the harsh world that we live in to hide away, keep their heads down, and do nothing.

So many of them are terrified of failure. As if trying something once, getting it wrong, and being embarrassed is worse than turning a blind eye to the way the Global South is suffering from the worst excesses of climate change. Yes, failure is painful — but a quick search of “successful people who failed” will show you that nobody succeeds the first time. Well, almost nobody. Besides, what does it mean to “succeed”? What’s the real goal here — your ego, wealth and power and glory, or the healing of our world?
