Collaboration

Collaboration is at the core of our biology and our DNA. All parts of us need to work together.  Every time our parts are not collaborating, we are unhealthy.

When a part of us is not collaborating, our mind will tell us to remove it, hoping things will get better. In some rare cases, this could be a good option. Yet most of the time, we need to step back and get a broader view. The process of collaboration is a process of integration, not separation. Integration requires clarity and compassion.

If we don’t learn anything about ourselves through the process of collaboration, we are simply not collaborating. Do you need to fine-tune how you collaborate within yourself and with others? If yes, what needs to change?

With much love,

Our article “What discomfort can teach you” co-authored by Shari Gootter and myself was featured in Counseling Today.
In this article, we show you how taking a deeper look at our relationship with comfort and discomfort provides us insight into our path toward acceptance and happiness.

Schedule your one-on-one transformational phone session with me today. I’m offering a 25-minute or 50-minute session. Let’s see what we can do!

One of the greatest challenges in today’s culture is that we have forgotten what a community is. True community is not built on uniformity; it is built on authenticity.

A community is a space where each person is encouraged to connect with their true self. From that place of inner truth, we learn to dance with each other’s uniqueness. We grow by witnessing one another. We learn to love more fully, expand our awareness, and open to perspectives beyond our own.

We may bump into each other’s, experience our fears, projections, hopes, or attachments and in doing so, we heal. We stay awake and stretch our hearts wider than we ever imagined possible.

True community is rooted in diversity. If our opinions, belief systems, our tastes are exactly the same, our sense of self begins to dissolve. Belonging does not come from subscribing to an ideology, it comes from living in alignment with our truth and being accepted for it.

Nature offers us the perfect example; it thrives in diversity. As humans, it is our responsibility to build, nurture, and participate in communities. When we unplug from this essential connection, everything begins to fall apart, and human values erode.

Remember, we always have a choice.
