Episode #33: \xa0What it means to HOLD SPACE for people with special guest HEATHER PLETT\n\nMany of us have heard the expression to "hold the space\u201d for someone, but until now, I haven\u2019t come across much information on what holding the space actually looks like, especially when caring for aloved one who is transitioning into the last stages of life. Enter Manitoba-based teacher, writer, coach, retreat host, and facilitator, HEATHER PLETT. \xa0\n\nWhen I read Heather\u2019s blog, I realized that she was able to lovingly articulate key concepts about the gift of "holding space" gleaned\xa0through her own life experience, specifically, the passing of her mother.\xa0\n\nDuring our time together, Heather will explore\xa0eight life lessons\xa0that she has learned\xa0from the amazing people who have held the space for her. They\xa0include: 1.\xa0Giving people permission to trust their own intuition and wisdom.\xa02.\xa0Giving people only as much information as they can handle.\xa03. Not taking power away.\xa04. Keeping your own ego out of it.\xa05. Making\xa0people feel safe enough to fail.\xa06. Giving guidance and help with humility and thoughtfulness.\xa07. Creating a container for complex emotions, fear, trauma, etc.\xa08. Allowing people to make different decisions and have different experiences than you would. \xa0Thank you Heather for doing this beautiful work!\n\nWEEKLY ROUND TABLE with HiC Luttmers, John Carosella and Mildred Lynn: "Conflict is the Beginning of Consciousness\u201d.\xa0Get ready for a fun, energetic discussion!\n\nHealing Conversations with Mildred Lynn airs the FIRST SUNDAY of\xa0the month @ 10:30am PST.
