I’m still working over Zoom with most of my clients. During each call the same struggle is present: Awkwardness. We have kids running amuck, our jobs feel funky, forget about our 401Ks, we feel less professional, we’re awkwardly parenting and wifeing, husbanding, friending and there is sooo much wine. After each call the same thing keeps popping into my head: THIS IS SO HUMAN. Normally buttoned up professional people in person are having to interrupt conversations to make a pb&j, calling across the house to spouses, show their messy kitchens to their colleagues, little people are popping up between knees, dogs are barking and more and more, we are not bristling at this reality. We are being real people. Our professional fronts and our nurturing, impatient, sloppy selves are uniting.
My hope is we become more graceful with ourselves. Let us get sick of our phones and social media (because let’s be real, who’s really posting a gorgeous pic of themselves!). Most of all, let us get comfy with the thoughts and feelings that bubble up (the ones that we usually squash with a run to the store or shopping on the internet). These are unprecedented times for most of us- let us strip away our egos and be our flawed, real, HUMAN selves. Let us be more comfortable in the stillness so that we can reinvent, reimagine and re-ground ourselves and reemerge more whole – our families and our community and our Planet are all going to need this growth. There are no rules, no images to preserve- this is an unprecedented time. The more we can own the struggle of being us, the more we will connect and be free to fully love one another on the back end!
Go HUMAN!
