It’s Spring in NC: I love getting my hands in the soil
I have a jade plant that is about 24 years old and it’s not doing well
My jade plant is losing a ton of leaves.
My jade plant Helen has mealybugs and is dying because she wasn’t in the right environment.
If I want my Jade plant to make it then I need to break the pot she is in.
I worked in corporate America for a decade and I knew then I had outgrown that pot.
If I wanted to save Helen I had to break the pot.
When in corporate America It was like I was in black and white, and when I left my life turned into technicolor.
This weekend my boyfriend and I broke the pot the jade plant is in. Then we pulled the pieces of the pot away.
The Jade plant is totally root bound
We removed as much of the old soil as we could and put as much new soil in as I can.
The new soil, the new pot is fresh soil a new home
I received a call from a former manager and he asked me if I would ever consider working on his desk again.
Once you break the pot you can’t go back
When I work with clients one on one and in a group capacity, for the clients that do the work, they are stepping into technicolor. They are breaking the pot and there’s no going back.
If you stay in the pot there’s no chance that you’ll survive
What pot are you in right now that’s too small?
What change could you make that would make it like stepping from black and white into technicolor.
I thought really hard about what it is that I’m doing here at Yoke and Abundance. I won’t feel complete in this work here at Yoke and Abundance until I know that all of the women I work with at Yoke and Abundance are wise. Until everyone believes that their divine feminine qualities matter and make for good leadership
I won’t be done with this work until women believe that it’s safe to extend your hand to another woman and believe like Robert Ingersoll says “We rise by lifting others”
I won’t be done until you believe that your dreams are worth going after unapologetically.
Playing small doesn’t serve you and it doesn’t serve anyone else either
Those are the seeds that I’m planting in my garden here at Yoke and Abundance
My Garden is full of dreams and the divine feminine.
We are gonna need a bigger pot.
It is so scary to break that damn pot.
What seeds are you planting, what’s important to you?
What seeds do you
You need to be planting?
What pot do you need to break to get after it?
You can join RAW, The Gathering, You can do one-on-one coaching or group coaching.
Think about how beautiful your life can be if you break the pot and go get after it.
