Amazing start, Flávia! I loved this part: “It feels great to be uncomfortable again.” Precisamos nos acostumar com os espaços de desconforto, pois eles também são espaços de crescimento ❤️‍🩹💪🏾

Amanda!!! Thank you for writing back. It's something we always forget, and that I have forgotten so often myself. Lets continue to remind each other of the need to stay "irrequietas"

You are so correct. In general, it seems that if one is complacent, in shallow, comfy waters - they aren't really changing or creating.

'Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable' I think that this applies to all ideas and new ways of growing.

It's more important than ever to push new thoughts out into the world. New questions- even if the answers are elusive. There's another Matt Haig quote that comes to mind 'every age is a judgemental age, as humans, stay human; it's just that we move the judgements around like furniture when we want the room to feel bigger.' The same idea applies to our personal & professional lives. True transformation happens when we're uncomfortable. When we stop simply moving the same old ideas into a new corner of the same room. Very insightful xoxo

I'm at the edge of my seat. Especially as I wrap up a consulting project post election season and get back on the horse. This statement you wrote resonates with me: "Third, financial stability is an excellent reason to stick with your job. I know many people who 100% need the job they have because they are breadwinners for their families or are working towards a financial goal that will allow them to retire well. Trust me: there are ways to find better, more exciting work wherever you happen to be working." I'm committed to staying in the space of "TRUST" as I dive in backwards to what is next for me. Your words inspire and come just in time!
