Hello,
Welcome to our first newsletter!
There is an ancient rhythm to transformation - one that mirrors the cycles of nature, the changing tides and the deep wisdom held within us. The Coaching Shorts journey follows this natural cycle, guiding us through four essential stages: The Descent Inwards, Facing Discomfort and Building Awareness, Walking Your Path and Emerging into Your Power. Each phase is a necessary step toward deeper self-knowing, resilience and authentic living.
The Descent: Embracing Our Shadow
Every meaningful journey begins with a descent - a turning inward. In myths and spiritual traditions across cultures, figures like Inanna, Persephone, Oshun, Kali and even the heroine's journey remind us that before we rise, we must first face the depths of ourselves.
This stage is about courage. It asks us to look at what we've buried: old stories, inherited beliefs, wounds we've ignored. By making space for these truths, we begin the process of transformation.
Facing Discomfort and Building Awareness
Once we have entered the depths, we may meet resistance. This is the place where fear, doubt and old conditioning emerge, whispering reasons why we should turn back. But true transformation doesn't happen through avoidance. It happens through deep awareness.
The moments when we feel stuck, lost, or uncomfortable are often invitations to explore what lies beneath the surface.
When we allow ourselves to sit with these feelings, rather than bypass them, we open the door to profound self-knowing. Through deep reflection and presence, we begin to see what is truly ours to hold - and what we are ready to release.

Walking Your Path
Transformation is not just about awareness; it's about action. This is where we integrate what we've learned, step by step. We begin making choices that align with our truth rather than our conditioning. We practice boundary-setting, speaking our needs and honouring the parts of ourselves that were once silenced.
It's a time of deep trust. The path may not always be clear, but by walking it with intention, we strengthen our resilience and inner authority. Being witnessed by a supportive community means we are not alone in our endeavours to know ourselves and rise to our highest ideals.
Emerging into Your Power
Emergence is not about becoming someone new - it's about reclaiming who we've always been. After doing the deep work of self-inquiry and transformation, we step forward with clarity and confidence. We embody wisdom, not just intellectually but in how we move through the world.
This doesn't mean challenges disappear. It means we now have the tools to navigate them with grace. We understand our worth. We trust our voice. We show up as leaders - whether in our families, careers or communities.
Where Are You in the Cycle?
The beauty of this journey is that it's not linear. At any given moment, you may find yourself in descent, in the discomfort of awareness, in the practice of walking your truth or in the expansion of emergence. Each stage is valuable. Each one offers growth and hones our skill to constantly move through challenges and craft the life we wish to lead.
Where do you feel yourself right now?
- Are you being called inward?
- Are you facing the discomfort of self-discovery?
- Are you actively walking your path?
- Are you emerging into your power?
Wherever you are, you are not alone. This is a shared journey, and together, we walk the cycles of transformation again and again - learning, unlearning and remembering who we truly are.
With love,

P.S. No matter where you are in this cycle - whether in descent, discomfort, building awareness, taking action or emergence - this journey is yours to embrace. If this resonates, I invite you to explore these themes more deeply with us. Join us here as we kick off the first Coaching Short on 30 April.
