something whole The heart of life happens in the middle - between clear beginnings and tidied up endings. It happens in the breaking, the bruising, the becoming. In the heart of life, there are shadows and cobwebs and question marks. Clarity has not yet arrived on the scene. Comfort is waiting in the next room.

It looks like my session is at max capacity for tomorrow's conference, but there are several other wonderful speakers and I would love to see you there! It's not too late to get your tickets for Tutti Networks' Tutti: Together as One (TaO) Conference!

Who else feels this? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Instagram vs. Reality (swipe ➡️)
•
📷 Certainly you have observed how Instagram photos depict what seems to be a perfectly manicured life - comprised of endless lattes, late night drinks, beach views, fiery romance, rock solid friendships, and blissful enjoyment.
•
💑 Every relationship is picture perfect. Failure does not occur. Financial woes do not exist. Heartbreak is easily mended. Work obligations do not seem to be pressing or even present and adventure is always a snapshot away.
•
🎨 The realities we construct on social media are broad brush strokes which highlight mere moments - carefully arranged to reflect only our most appealing attributes. As we scroll through, feelings of inferiority, loss, or FOMO might consume us - if we believe these facades really reflect Other People’s Lives.
•
🎭 In truth, these masks we wear online - these false realities we construct - do very little to celebrate our shared humanity. Rather, they provoke the loneliness, isolation, and fear that exists within all of us just underneath the surface. We become characters on a stage we created and if we slip out of character for one moment, we fear being labeled a fraud.
•
🧗🏻‍♀️I share this humorous side-by-side of Instagram vs. Reality in order to spread a deeper message: that perhaps the lives we masquerade on social media add to the feelings of loneliness and needing to prove ourselves rather than having the desired effect of validation, affirmation, and self-confidence.
•
🏆 I certainly get the appeal of wanting others to think we have it all together. As a coach and brand storyteller, I want my clients to trust me and believe that my experience, expertise, and skills are worthy of their investment. However, I have found that people are drawn to us not for our pretense or projection of our “best selves” onto every exchange, but rather for our vulnerability, humanity, honesty, and approachability.
•
❗️I am a coach, yes, and I am very good at what I do. But I am also human. And I have fears, insecurities, struggles, and challenges just like anyone else. Yet my life resonates the most because of these experiences, not in spite of them. May we not hold back our truest selves. @ Denver, Colorado

There’s a certain reasonable rhythm and routine to life that every revolutionary, creator, and memorable hero has bucked in order to become the inspiring person that we remember. Big dreams are built on bold foundations, and great reward often follows great risk.
•
🏆The reality is this: none of your heroes achieved their dreams by being reasonable or playing by the rules. Although they were perhaps hailed as icons later in life, they were certainly not reaping all the rewards of their passion and conviction in the moments of complete unreasonability that led to their lasting legacies.
•
Gandhi nearly died in his effort to being peace between Muslims and Hindus through a 21-day hunger strike. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out against the racist pillars of society and for an integrated, reconciled world and was killed for it. Jane Goodall poured her life into her research through unorthodox approaches and completely changed the world’s understanding of man’s closest living relative through groundbreaking scientific discoveries. Katharine Hepburn broke the rules of the film industry and refused to conform to society’s expectations and achieved massive success as an actress, despite harsh criticisms and setbacks.
•
💥If you are someone with giant dreams, passion, and world-changing power, then you are probably someone who is exhausted by the expected rhythms of life. ⚡️While being unreasonable might make you stand out as odd or different or misunderstood in the short-term, in the long-term, you will stand out as someone who made an incredible difference and changed what others perceive as possible.⚡️
•
🧩So what will it be? A “reasonable” life that follows the rules at the cost of your dreams and passion? Or a life of unreasonability that challenges the norms, builds a bold foundation, and stretches the realm of possibility for all who come after you? The choice is yours. 😏 💫
