We are not here to know what’s best for our clients. We are here to hold powerful space so that our clients get clear on what’s best for them. The moment yo think you know better than your client does about themselves is the moment you’ve stopped being present to your client. In Sacred Depths we teach practitioners not how to know best, but how to create environments and ask questions for our clients to find the wisdom & breakthroughs inside of themselves.

The last month, we've been working behind the scenes on a couple of INCREDIBLE projects! (Full transparency: I'm a little pooped; it's that feeling of being tired after working hard on satisfying things!).

One of our core values at Applied Depth Institute

One of our core values at Applied Depth Institute and the Sacred Depths training is INTEGRITY. It goes without saying that this is key in our client work, key in our marketing, and key in all the things.

The thing about the coaching and transformation industries is that integrity isn’t always taught or modeled. We must commit to it over and over again.

THE ROLES WE PLAY/THE MASKS WE WEAR This is a pic

THE ROLES WE PLAY/THE MASKS WE WEAR

This is a pic of me from last night, looking a little cooky for the Jewish holiday called Purim.

The Purim story has many threads and rich layers -it's based on a story of a Heroine named Esther, a Hero named Mordecai and a Villain named Haman. On Purim, you get dressed up and wear masks. And you're also supposed to get so drunk that you don't know the difference between the Hero Mordecai and the Villain Haman.

It's a strange invitation, and I've always loved this holiday because of the deep meaning and symbolism in all of it.

In the story there is a clear Hero and a clear Villain.....but in real life, the lines are always blurred.

As human beings, we wear so many different masks: The Righteous One, The Selfish One, The Cruel One, The Kind One, The Hero, The Villain, and so on.

We are not one thing.
We are many things. We are acceptable things and also we are not-so-acceptable things. We are pretty things and we are also not-so-savory things. We have Mordecai & Esther parts and we have Haman parts too.

We are not meant to deny ANY of it. Not the pretty parts, and not the not-so-pretty parts.

When we reject or deny or disenfranchise any part of ourselves - our Anger, our Selfish impulses, our Competitive impulses...we are cutting off a vital part of ourselves and our life force. It's not that we're always meant to give in to those parts....but it IS our job to understand those parts and to have compassion for them.

And more than that, as soon as we judge another person for their Haman parts, we cease to see that they are more than one thing too. And that does a disservice to them AND to us.

That's why on Purim we wear masks - to give us permission to express any Part we chose! And that's why we're invited to blur the lines between the Hero and the Villain.

My interpretation may not exactly be how the rabbis interpret the holiday, but nonetheless, it holds deep meaning for me...and I thought you'd appreciate it too. (And BTW, this is why I'm committed to teaching practitioners about Shadow and how to work with it with your clients!)

Wishing you a happy Purim, and meaningful full moon!

Important: Just because the world is in a very dar

Important: Just because the world is in a very dark place right now, and it is important to grieve or rage and do whatever we can to make things better, it doesn't mean that we are doing something wrong if we also enjoy our lives, and if we take pleasure in big and small things, or if we get upset about the things going on in our personal lives.
I've seen this come up in a couple of different ways over the last few days - people either feeling guilty for living their good lives, or feeling petty for being sad about something going on in their personal life when the pain of the world is so big.

Two seemingly opposite things can (and almost always do) exist at once.

Joy and grief can absolutely live together. Grief is often right under joy, which is right under grief, which is right under joy.

Joy doesn't cancel out grief. We can take pleasure in a success or good thing in our life, and that doesn't mean that we are somehow not sensitive too or not compassionate for or callous to the heartbreak in the world. We are complex beings. We can hold BOTH. And I'd even go so far that as humans, we were designed to and meant to hold both. One informs the other.

And, just because we are sad about something seemingly "small" in our personal lives doesn't mean that we're not also compassionate for or grieving the bigger picture in the world at the same time. We can hold both. We are meant to hold both. One informs the other.

My wish for you is that you don't deny your joy or pleasure...or your grief about your personal situation - not in any moment, but especially not in these harder times. Allow yourself to have the full spectrum of feelings and expressions, knowing that your authentic joy can only make the world a better place and that your authentic grief is a true and necessary expression of who you are.
