To all the amazing, smart, creative, funny, kind, adventurous, funky, compassionate souls who are out there, hiding in the shadows being held back from fully showing the world who you are because of the visible and invisible barriers society has put up, this page is for you.
Our minds, and society, can always find reasons for us to wait and not do something, but at what cost? Do we ever step out of that waiting, or is one excuse replaced with another, and then we feel like it is too late and the window has closed.
What if we don’t have to wait? What if we could break free of those shackles, and step out and shine? What sort of potential would be unleashed upon the world? I have no idea the answers to those questions, but a little fire ignites in my belly just thinking about it. I think of all the people who I have seen in my life shed those shackles and show the world who they really are, and it has been beautiful to see. I think of the times when I have been true to me and that me was pretty awesome. She took on the world. But it was scary, and not everyone liked her. She was different, and thus was pushed back into the shadows and shackled, safe.
So, this page, this blog, is my step towards not waiting anymore. Towards not allowing those ‘I can’t…until…’ or ‘what if’s’ to hold me back. Instead I am taking a step into the spotlight. I encourage you to join me. Keep an eye on this space as I will share some of the insights, skills and strategies that I have learned from years of being a psychologist, to help us all let go of waiting, and step towards who we want to be. Let us unleash our potential and shine.
