What happens when we choose to honor our deepest “yes”es, even when life gets hard?

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend, Freya Kennedy, a Transformationalist (she’s where I got this word!) and Enneagram Executive Coach whose work is to support others in the process of Self Remembering.

After experiencing a significant amount of loss recently, she has been interested in the grief process and how that is impacting her life. In this conversation, Freya touches on her journey of grief and ongoing healing, the mysterious unfolding process, and allowing herself to be loved through the messy long game of saying yes to the inner work.

We also reflect on our uniquely special friendship, the beauty of witnessing each other’s growth, and the learning that has come through highs and lows in our relationship.

We dive into:

✨ What it means to meet ourselves with rigorous honesty and compassion

✨ How grief and loss become openings for deeper presence

✨ Learning to let go of seeing ourselves as problems to be solved and following the breadcrumbs toward attuning to the mystery of life

✨ The healing role of companionship and calling ourselves and each other back home

✨ How Freya’s Enneagram work has changed her perspective on Christianity

✨ The long game of the inner work

…and more!

Freya is so wonderful, and I’m grateful to call her an Essence Friend!
