Dear Community,
About a year and a half ago I said “It feels like I’ve just entered a multi-year-chrysalis”. I am now, in this season, officially experiencing myself as partially turned to goo.
Right now I’m DEEP in a GET FREE season. Get free from the confines of boxes that no longer fit right. (Picture: a flower pot cracking/exploding into bits. Live update from the field: flower and soil are in good health after dramatic loss of their prior home. Stay tuned for updates) - and I am honestly not looking for another pot.
I’m currently in the midst of building a new website - I will be releasing it in the next weeks. The domain name could literally not possibly be MORE me. I can’t wait to share it with you soon! I wanted a site that wasn’t just to hold my therapeutic practice, but a site that can grow and shift as I do - most likely into directions that I don’t even see coming yet.
because Listen. I would say the main thing that I’m fully embracing right now is that I am an extremely dynamic being. I am NOT meant to have just one job. I am not meant to show up in just one way.
This shows up in EVERY aspect of my life.
My personality, the way I dress, the way I hold space, and most importantly, the ways I experience myself.
My softness & gentleness is equally matched by how easy it is for me to be direct and firm. I am super sensitive to the most subtle & and I also love intensity. Give me understated and dramatic. I love being silent with people and I also love exploring life through many words. I feel my best when I let go of the shoulds, the identities and the boxes.
It’s always been easy for me to express my uniqueness and weirdness in my innermost circles but I’m interested in truly integrating the different parts of me and areas of my life.
proud member of Not-Normal-Club. wanna join me?
So I’m reaching out to connect with you, live and direct from the process. Human to Human.
If anything I say speaks to you, hits some place in you that is outgrowing a pot/identity you’ve been in…know that you are not alone, and that I am VERY EXCITED FOR YOU and I want to hear about it!!! Hit Reply and tell me:
what’s an identity / way of being that you’ve been hanging out in for a while that is currently making you feel confined?
what would it look like/feel like to feel more FREE in your life?
For me- I am breaking free from a manufactured idea of what a “therapeutic practitioner” means. This means I can simultaneously hold impeccable healing space, as well as let more of my dynamic personality come through in my writing, my sessions, and everywhere else. Now let me hear YOU!
♡
and finally:
True story: when I started to write you this letter a song called “Freedom” came on my shuffle on spotify-
Then I searched for songs called “FREEDOM” and made it into a playlist.
Enjoy!
Much Love,
your mari mu ♡
