Totally agree. I have been on the personal development wheel for over 20 years and the thing I have been seeking still eludes me (ie: healing from IBS). I have arm fulls of qualifications. But have now stopped training in anything as I allow my true essence to trickle up into being. For too long I have held away the pain, trauma and other yucky bits of my life that I didn't want to integrate into myself. And I am learning to embrace the bits I have been trying to hide. ;-)

Thanks for sharing your experience Karen, I can relate after many years of trying to heal auto-immune issues (which I'll write more about in another post)

I look forward to reading it. I have a lot of resistance to writing about mine. ;-)

Yes, understandable, and it's good to be a little selective about what you choose to share in public. There are certainly aspects of my story that will stay private too

Another great read. I can always use the reminder to let go of the fixing as a fellow self help/improvement lover.

Yes! I don't think I'll ever lose my thirst for learning either (nor do I want to), but it's nice to find balance and moments of just being 😊
