Yeah.

But in this context of, you know, being connected to ourselves, do we recognize the person who's showing up every day?

And I know that for me, my representative was way alive and kicking.

You know, like, I mean, the fake smile, the fine, fine, fine.

Everything's fine.

You know, when it was all falling apart.

And I think the degree to which I had disconnected from my true feelings or the degree to which I disconnected.

for my authentic expression was one of the blaring indicators in that nothing was sort of getting in, if that makes sense.

It was a sort of numbness, right?

No matter what was going on, whether it was great or whether it was horrible, in some way I had kind of disconnected and checked out.

Another way, and this shows up a lot for people, is exhaustion.

I relate.

Yeah, I think the first thing you got to do is get clear about what it is that you really want.

And as much as it sounds like it's an easy question, at least I know for me, when I was in that period in 2017, I had to ask myself that question for a period of months and like really keep listening for like, wow, what is it that I want?

And I say that because I find even now as I talk with leaders and

often what we want is filtered through what we think is acceptable, what we think is respectable, what we think is affordable, if we think about it from the context of our economic stability.

And so we're often filtering and it takes time and it takes courage and it takes space sometimes to really get to the heart and the truth of what it is that you really want.

But that's the beginning question because once you can ask and begin to

give yourself the permission to answer, you may be shocked at what you find.

What you want may be not as complicated or difficult or as overwhelming or grandiose as what you may be reaching for.
