This week we’re joined by the effervescent Hollie Holden. If you haven’t fallen in love with her by the end of this episode, we’ll give you your money back!
This episode is for you, if you struggle with perfectionism, or you struggle with finding the silver lining during the hard times, or you find change crippling.
Even as big pivot fans ourselves; she mirrored back to us how important it is to reflect upon our pivot points - learn to love them (however hard they were/are) and move through them.
She talks about pivots as a gateway. And that in order for something to be born something else must die, meaning pivots must have a moment of mourning and celebration. We need to stay soft at these times, to let the new in.
She speaks of herself as a midwife - helping new ideas and change into the world - with support and love.
She speaks of motherhood - ‘allowing another human to unfold’. There is no point wishing a ‘tulip bulb will grow to be a rose’.
She asks beautiful, insightful questions such as: How can we be loved into our next pivot?, How do I work with what I’ve been given?, What’s the gift here?, What’s the invitation’
