When we follow the whispers of our desire, it takes us on a journey.  That journey shapes us into a new version of ourselves - the version of ourselves who can have our desire.    What do we do when we haven't yet become the version of ourselves who can have a particular desire?  And, we are no longer who we used to be before we embarked on the journey of this desire.   What do we do when we are in the middle of these places, in  the midst of a big internal shift?   How do we be with ourselves on the unknown path of desire and transformation?  This is what we talk about in this episode. In this episode, we explore the part of the desire journey that is in the middle of where we used to be and where we are going.  It is a unique location that can be confusing and frustrating at times.  It can often feel like two steps forward and one step back, because we are experiencing the learning curve and  generally don't have the awareness, skill or capacity to fully have this desire we are wanting so much. We discuss the trust and courage it takes to move towards a desire and how at some point it takes a leap of faith, when there are no guarantees, and how important it is to stay committed to ourselves and how that builds self compassion as we often fumble and judge ourselves along the way. In our latest heart-to-heart, we digest our words from 2023: 'flourish', 'trust' and 'capable' and the lessons we learned from exploring these words over the course of last year, and how we felt in the in between location of desire. We also unwrap  our chosen compass words for 2024: 'soft', 'consistent', and 'committed.'  We candidly share the highs and lows of living in tune with these words, the energy they invite, and the profound lessons they're teaching us about self-love and dedication.   We would love to hear from you, share your thoughts about this episode, or your word for 2024 with us. May it be another tool in helping us become the truest versions of ourselves. We'd love to hear from you.
