‘Tis the season for that week in between Christmas and New Year’s where time seems non-existent, and everyone is scraping by. Instead of letting this crazy week dictate my mood, I decided to take some time to reflect on 2022 and how I’d like to show up for 2023. After inventorying my year, I recognized that I’ve come to a place in my life where I’m able to hold space for others- something I haven’t always been capable of, but something that I have received from people when I was in need. What does holding space mean and why am I proud to be able to provide it for my “circle”? Let’s talk about it.

 

In this episode I discuss:

What it means to hold space for others;

Having the capacity to hold space for others;

How people close to me helped me during tragic times;

The simple act of being present with another person;

Connection through contact;

Listening without judgment or an agenda;

The challenges of creating space for people;

Meeting someone where they’re at;

Realizing you can’t fix or change someone’s problems;

How I’m able to show up for others by practicing self-care (super important)

 

As I said, I haven’t always been able to connect with my friends and family in this way. But now that I’m more confident in myself and my capabilities, I can clear space from my needs and pour that space back into my loved ones in need. I find that my capacity to hold space for others increases as I care for myself. In 2023, I expect that space to grow.

So, here’s to 2023, a year of peace and prosperity and enough space for those that need it.
