WEEKEND NUGGET - How to be alone with guest Michele Traina
Manage episode 410329127 series 3566423
In this episode, we are once again joined by Michele Traina as we discuss "How to be alone" during a divorce. The emotions that come up, the obstacles we encounter, and who we become in the process, as we learn new ways of being. Michele and I examine what it was like when we experienced it, and share some insights into what we did, and how we did it.
I remember thinking to myself before recording this episode how important it is to talk about topics like these, which happened to be inspired by Michele. She had suggested some topics to consider that could make a difference. When I finally became aware of what this topic could mean to someone, I had a brief moment. I, normally create what the points are to what is that is going to be said in a Weekend Nugget, but I leave it loose enough where it can be genuine to the moment. Yet, this time was different. We both freestyled, and allowed what was to come have a place to land, but nothing more.
We started with the statement, and then gave in to the process. Giving it the feeling that it was exactly what it needed to be. Becoming a solid piece of reference to anyone who may be going through, or just came out of this feeling no one really knows how to be guided through, which is being alone. I trust that the episode has many little gems inside it. Insights that may serve you in your understanding of what to expect, or be like during the alone process. But what I know you will get is the truth of what it was like for each of us.
Being alone, in whatever location you find yourself in, or with whomever may be near you, like a friend, or a relative. Is always going to be your process. Trusting yourself to be in the moment, and not deny what arises will be your biggest guide. Sometimes it takes reaching the bottom of something to know you can't travel any deeper. My hope is that you choose to turn around. Explore what it is, that has you feel like it is a bottom, learn from it, and love the process.
What does not break you, will make you stronger.
