As pandemic fatigue has set in, we are faced with the possibility that life may continue as-is for the foreseeable future. Shifting from “new normal” rhetoric to conversations about connection, support, and vulnerability has become necessary for us to thrive through uncertainty.

 

On this deeply personal episode of Pattern of Purpose, I share reflections on the first Range supper club event, where 8 women gathered to talk about how 2020 has changed their outlook on work, life, and identity. 

 

I also share a story from my childhood that has shaped how I react to stress. Uncovering this pattern has allowed me to more clearly understand my behavior and welcome calm into my life at a much needed juncture.

 

On this episode I explore:

• What happened after opening up space on my calendar,
• Purposefully being around people who think differently than you,
• Over/under-functioning in response to day-to-day anxiety, and
• How understanding my story has allowed me to move through it.

 

Trigger warning: this episode contains sensitive content, including domestic violence.
