Hi Kat, this is a beautiful piece and your perspective resonates very much. I went through all the emotions this morning reading this as I've been working on an article very similar although through my own lens and experience and so initially I thought "oh no! I'm too late!" and immediately after reminded myself that we are all connecting to the same Source and that ideas and words flow through our own unique lens (experience, beliefs etc). Additionally, our audiences are vastly different sizes and we speak to different people. "There is plenty to go around!" I'd love to link to this article if that is ok? I feel as though it's so valuable to, like you say, connect with those who are growing and grow together and as well as to share perspective and offer different angles of view with the same intention in mind. Beautiful work as always 💖

“The idea of creating as family units, rather than everything always being split into roles.” This hit me hard. Up until quite recently we have been living in very traditional roles. And in a lot of ways it has been needed and I’ve been super grateful to not have to worry about making money while having 2 young ones so close together.

But since we’ve moved we are really growing into this. I’ve never liked thinking about money and never saw myself making much of it, just enough to get by. But this new year Matt has been getting really amped and just keeps saying “we’re getting rich this year!” And now I’m into it 😂 I’ve got a bunch of things I’m starting to work on now so I can live in my creativity, have a flexible work life around my kids and start to get ahead.

What a lovely piece of writing Kat. Being authentic & open with our tribe is such a game changer.

And here I am suddenly deciding to be real & vulnerable with my inner people around how I feel more & more that I want to be more a home-maker who does a bit of work as opposed to a burnt out consultant who does a bit of house stuff.

This thought has been in the very back recesses of my mind for a while now & after another tough run health wise it seems now is the time to get authentically real.

It turns out this decision may mean I also write more 😉

Literally chewed this up.

“It’s safe for me to change, It’s safe for you to change”.

I love the spaciousness of this entire piece! In my 30s I struggled to put language to the sentiments you have mentioned in this body of work -- reading it now, has me saying yes yes yes. How wonderful is your gift of articulation, the self awareness you behold and your ability to remain teachable and open whilst girding to truth. Wow honey.

Oh this is so beautiful and such a reminder of the impact our environment has on our dreams and visions. I am so grateful to have cultivated this kind of support around me but it’s actually predominantly my ‘online’ friends which means less in person support. I’m definitely craving that though. Xx
