How to Build a Tree: The Wednesday 1-2-3
|
Hey Reader, After almost two years of writing a new issue of The Wednesday 1-2-3 every week, I'm taking a short pause this month! With the October Inner Work Cohort starting up and our family now in school-mode for both our kiddos, this seemed like a good time to temporarily remove something from my plate – but that doesn't mean you won't still get something from me. 🙂 Over the next five weeks, I'll be sending out some of my favorite issues from the past two years. (And the good thing is, because of how many new folks are receiving these emails, most of you have never seen these!) And I'll still just be an email away, so keep replying and letting me know how things are landing for you.

Hope all is well-enough with you, Enjoy this edition of the The Wednesday 1-2-3? |

Hey Reader, At the bottom of today’s email is a free 25-minute mini-workshop I recorded for you. It’s all about how we hold the charge of this moment – the heaviness, fear, unease, and discomfort of it all – in a gentle and intentional way. Just wanted to make sure you saw it 🙂 Alright – onward to today’s prompt: A couple weeks ago, I wrote that we are collectively living in the midst of a disillusioning moment. I defined this experience as: A moment when the illusion of “how the world works”...
Hey Reader, With Thanksgiving Day tomorrow for those of us in the United States, I thought it would be a good time to bring back the Consent/Closeness Matrix, which I first shared about a year ago. Designed by my colleague Catherine Quiring, the Consent/Closeness Matrix is a tool for helping us understand the stories we carry within us and their origins. (If you can't see the image above, you can view it here.) As you look at the matrix, you’ll notice two axes: Low consent - high consent...
