Hollie Holden: Mother, Midwife, Poet, Philosopher, Teacher, Noticer
This week we\u2019re joined by the effervescent Hollie Holden. If you haven\u2019t fallen in love with her by the end of this episode, we\u2019ll give you your money back!
\nThis episode is for you, if you struggle with perfectionism, or you struggle with finding the silver lining during the hard times, or you find change crippling.
\nEven as big pivot fans ourselves; she mirrored back to us how important it is to reflect upon our pivot points - learn to love them (however hard they were/are) and move through them.
\nShe talks about pivots as a gateway. And that in order for something to be born something else must die, meaning pivots must have a moment of mourning and celebration. We need to stay soft at these times, to let the new in.
\nShe speaks of herself as a midwife - helping new ideas and change into the world - with support and love.
\nShe speaks of motherhood - \u2018allowing another human to unfold\u2019. There is no point wishing a \u2018tulip bulb will grow to be a rose\u2019.
\nShe asks beautiful, insightful questions such as: How can we be loved into our next pivot?, How do I work with what I\u2019ve been given?, What\u2019s the gift here?, What\u2019s the invitation\u2019
