Viv & Moxie is about living bravely, lovingly, and unapologetically.
What we believe, we manifest. A concept that I’ve long heard around manifestors and Boss Babes, is the idea that when we focus on all of the things that we aren’t, or all of the things that we don’t have, it is an inadvertant wish to continue in exactly that manner. So instead of saying or thinking that I’m so tired all of the time, and that I just hate being so tired, I’m grateful for the energy I do have.
I lost faith in myself as an effective and functional person. I lost love, and gave up on trying to make that work. I CHOSE not to stay in my job, because while I knew I was close to what I wanted to do with my life, I was miserable. That wasn't how I wanted to serve people, inspire, support people. I stayed in an unemployed and deeply ashamed holding pattern for 5 years.
It was as if I'd ghosted myself. I didn't show up for me.
I just didn't show up.
We have all these resentments and frustrations about the fact that we don’t feel like we’re where we’re supposed to be. A resounding chorus, of “I really thought I’d have my shit together by now.” echoes from sea to shining sea. And I’m angry on all of our behalfs that we think there’s a such thing as having all our shit together. Do we even know if that’s a thing?
Nearly a decade of higher education under my belt, and after all this time, I’m still convinced that I was chosen from birth to do this work. That the education helped us to become more ourselves than it ever could have done to inform us of the how of counseling.
