This episode is a transition. A closure of Season One, and the invitation for space to create Season two.

Space being the purpose.

Through a more recent discovery, Jodie shared how being forced into to taking space has changed awareness to all that life is. She shares how it is time to stop holding space for others and inviting each of us to hold space for ourselves. Laying down the urgency for results and the perpetual design and build of our desires and inviting SPACE and pause to listen and welcome in flow.

For it is in SPACE, the pause between breathes, the quiet in our days, the stillness in life, before you fall asleep, when you first wake up, the moments where there is pause that our direction is provided without trying to work it out.

We need to stop filling our space with all the things, shiny distractions, immediate gratification, people pleasing, to-do lists, more work that is not fulfilling, feeling not good enough so taking on more… because all this action is actually avoidance to what matters, and we are missing the message that comes in the pause and stillness and space and we are the missing the abundance around us with our avoidance of stillness.
