15: showing up together & what I'm avoiding rn

If you're like me you have a bunch of scary projects or tasks or responsibilities or texts you are currently AVOIDING. you keep telling yourself to "just face them". but hard things are not meant to be faced alone! in this episode I discuss a community event called Showing up together⁠ on Sunday Jul 23 at 11am-2pm EST. if you can't make it or are listening to this after this date, no worries, this is hopefully just the beginning! This event is: A working session to face anything you’ve been avoiding (personal, creative, career) The goal is to actively face the thing on a Zoom call tg, rather than just talk about it :) Come whenever and stay for however long! I’ll be there :)  Stay tuned on my Substack for the next one!
