Ep #2 | Why Simplicity?
I am often asked: why simplicity? I think we end up teaching what we ourselves need the most! I was driving myself crazy with a nonstop schedule for many years, more exactly until I became a mother. You realize at that point, that your schedule is not your own anymore, and neither is your time.
The guilt came, and I just felt like running away! How can I shift this? Simplicity was the answer. Nothing happened immediately, but I started to resent anything that didn’t follow this line of simplicity. I started to learn how to say No. I started to stay local and home. Going back home with my family was a tough decision, but the best I have ever made.
Ease and simplicity came hand in hand, it became my mantra.
Over the years I accomplished my goal to create this beautiful community, a tribe, a family.
I had to give myself a rest, at first I became isolated, but did my best work when I was well rested. That is how the online course came to life! The book, the projects all followed, they flowed and I enjoyed the journey!
You will discover your potential by slowing down, allowing yourself some healing, the process is uncomfortable, but you will thank it!
