Trust Your Gut

What does it mean to trust yourself, to give yourself permission? In my spring newsletter, I wrote about how I am doing this for what is maybe the first time ever, or at least I am doing this more than I was before. At 49, it is an effort to change and heal, and it is sometimes hard to remember what is the truth, and what is the story.

A dear friend called me that week and said to keep doing what I was doing - to keep sharing. I thought a lot about that could mean, and what would come about by letting go of all the anxiety and fear I have about my work and just make and release it. As the great Kathleen Hannah said, “you’re still going to get criticized so you might as well do whatever the fuck you want.” Amen to that, sister.

So here’s a little bit of a personal pep talk for you, made by me. Keep on trusting your gut. Keep giving yourself permission. You deserve it.
