Shine on!

Last night I was again reminded of the power of women supporting each other. 
 
I held a class in Thornbury and one of the women shared her story of struggle, collapse and how she was trying to give herself the time and space to work out what was next. She spoke of the expectations she placed on herself that she “should” know what she was going to do next. That when she was resting and recuperating from such a life changing event that she felt as though she was wasting time and “should” be doing something productive.
 
Can you relate? 
 
I certainly can. As some of you know, I used to work as a lawyer. I had a mental breakdown that took me years to recover from. It was during that recovery period that I found Qoya. 
 
Qoya helped me to relax into my body. It showed me how to move with my emotions instead of having them do endless cycles in my head. It reminded me that I have incredible inner strength and power and how to access it again. And it showed me how powerful it is when women gather together. Supporting each other without judgement or shame. Just holding the space and allowing to come out what needs to. 
 
It has been one of my greatest achievements with this business creating safe spaces for women. Of course, I don't do it alone. Each of the women who attend my classes plays her integral part of space holding and demonstrating vulnerability. 
 
Women supporting women is, and has always been, extremely powerful. Because when your light shines, it does not diminish mine. You are lighting the way for me and all the other women to follow you. To show us what can be done. 
 
So shine on Sister!
