Finding Paradise after trauma

LIfe is simply not easy for many of you.

Life is simply not easy for many women.

I know this. I hear it and I see it on a daily basis in the work I do.

And yet, in spite of the struggles so many of you face navigating life and love, resolving adversity or issues from the past that continue to haunt or play havoc or destabilise you, I am struck by the incredible resourcefulness of women. 

I'm struck by you. 

Adversity, PTSD and Hope

This morning very early, I paused and took a breather and reflected on the women I've met through coaching and the Wise Women Sisterhood groups I run.

I was outside at dawn, in the bracing Spring cold digging in the farm garden. And it was COLD! (I was planting ice plants, white daisies and cosmos and tending to the magnificent bearded iris that are about to bloom and I just can't wait as they bring so much unbelievable joy. They're a deep, rich purple , with yellow and orange streaks and a kind of leopard print on the petals, intricate and detailed. As beautiful as fine lace. I'll share the pics with you soon.

But while I was out there, with my trowel and dirtied up hands and the cold earth and the beetles and the clucking chooks and the birds, I thought about the emotional conditions and real complexities so many of you women - we women face - as we travel the life journey on the planet.

When you choose a considered path that is about ReSTORYING™ from adversity or past trauma, to living a more enriching life imbued with what I call a "paradise quality."

The Quality of Paradise

One of the most difficult challenges you might face if you have any kind of adversity history - and let's face it - you likely will if you are a woman over 45+ and you've simply lived - is trying to unleash yourself from the past. Your history as a woman on the planet will contain and comprise a host of personal and systemic and structural experiences and when you work with me you get an active insight into what to do in order to uncoil yourself from these. 

Paradise in Action

It doesn't have to be painstaking but the truth is, it will require some effort on your part and it will require you to make change. It will also require a path and some clear structure to hang it all on, and that is where we come in. That's what we do.

Here's what's required: 

• your vision
• a strategy
• a proven pathway
• mentoring or guidance
• cohesive and regular community
• a framework
• a system that can be tailored to YOU
• actionable steps and stages
• achievable outcomes

So when i coach you, as a 45+ year old woman in the the second phase of life, about achievable outcomes, my programmes and strategies are going to be able to be very tailored to your specific requirements and the reality of your life right here right now.

The paradise you want to create is one that you need for you, and it needs to be:

• achievable
• sustainable
• age-relevant
• durable
• compassionate
• grounded in the present
• not pie in the sky

So......That's going to look very different for each and every one of you.

And it's important you work from the premise of reality for the simple reason a large portion of life is now over and we don't get that time back! Hard but true. Let's face that fact right off the bat.

But what we do get is the capacity to really leverage the incredible wisdom and insight and woo-woo wonder that comes with becoming an older woman who can enrich self and the community around you. 

So...what do you say to embracing this potential within yourself?

What do you say about your own potential to create a meaningful paradise that is specific to YOUR LIFE, and the way YOU WANT TO LIVE, and to YOUR VALUES and YOUR NEEDS and YOUR DREAMS and YOUR WISHES and YOUR IDEALS and YOUR JOYS?

Want to really learn how? Or simply want to keep feeding and mining the joy and peace you've already achieved? Want to do so in a fabulously supported and ethical and cost-effective and incredibly gorgeous way?
