Why am I resisting play? 🏄🏾‍♂️✨🧿

Dear members I was going to write a post about the shame around some of the memories of my father's passing. I realised that wasn't my medicine for this week.

We never played enough. Life got too serious too quickly. Something I am devoted to NOT happening with my own son. With any devotion, it's...

Reach out for a chat - https://calendly.com/mo-belonging-people/connect Those losing jobs. I feel for you. I know when it's happened to me, I felt like I was out-of-control. Feeling like an outcast.

Dear members Yesterday 11 August, was the anniversary of my father’s passing. This article is in honour of him.
