Ah yes I recognise myself a lot in this… and then I remember that I’m building a business around compassion and tuning to the heart and that applies to ALL the parts, even the ones that aren’t compassionate… without guilt because after all we are humans :)
Right?! This took me over a week to write because I kept adding layers and peeling layers away. And it still feels so far from incomplete. It still feels so unsettled in me. But maybe that's the whole point.
I'm so glad this offered you a moment to reflect, Camille. The work you're doing around compassion is so needed in our world. Creating space for folks to turn inwards and to reintegrate themselves despite a world that is trying to fragment them.
I guess for myself, the more I think about this the more aware I hope to become around where I am accidentally reproducing the systems of power in the wellness space because I haven't looked closely enough. To pause there and really consider how my words affect folks who might be lost in the trance of chasing a version of wellness that is being sold to them rather than the version that already lives inside of them.
Anyways, thanks for your response! SO much to unpack <3

Even would like to add isn’t enlightenment the acceptance of what is? Oh I feel like I could actually unroll this for days!
