More than a mistake

stress signatures

How are you travelling? I booked Matilda’s tickets for Sydney… but meant Adelaide. A small mistake or a reality check?

I’m not going to lie: this mishap nearly broke me. It took everything in my mental health toolkit to pick myself up, again!

It’s not about the tickets. It’s another big red flag, ‘stress’ signature’, and a reminder that even though I’ve consciously created space over the past nine months to navigate a very challenging time, we cannot deny our humanness

And being human …

 – I often find myself facilitating exactly what I need to hear
 – Knowing it in theory is one thing, feeling it in your cells is another. 
 – Life is messy, full of co-existing emotions and experiences.

So here I am sharing the real, and normalising that we all have moments of imperfection and signs that maybe our cup needs a little more filling.

What helped? Feeling the frustration, having some space, then running myself through my own workshop process.

The irony is not lost. I was meant to have a “cup-filling” experience but going to Sydney is out of reach and this felt disastrous at the time.

So if you know anyone in Sydney who’d love to soak up the brilliance of the Tillys on the 28th of November, I’ve got 2 adult tickets and 1 concession ticket up for grabs.

And please… go gently on yourself when you or others humanness shows, we are tired, at capacity and need a little something for our wellbeing right now.

PS: I’m over the highlight reel too!
