The strong energetics are really getting to me, need to remember to keep breathing and grounded and not let the mind start to race. Otherwise my neck and shoulders lock up and I get a splitting headache…
Sorry if my rambling contributed. I forget that my “positive” outlook doesn’t look positive to everyone else.
I think I’ll just have to get back to it later when I’m less overloaded. Much bigger things have got me here, like Black Friday deals on coaching and mentoring… trying to figure out under time pressure and little funds if any of them would be helpful enough to invest on. I’ve been going way too fast for my body on this business thing, and the mind is getting frustrated about having to slow down.
If lightening the load by sharing tasks helps at all, let us know.
I hope it all goes well.
Thank you, you’re lovely
For now it’s been mostly inner work… talking does help, as long as I’m not overdoing it and breaking my body’s boundaries.
It’s such a shame that we can’t just go outside and lay in the snow, huh?
Oh? Together?
Together! Sometimes it’s nice just to have someone grab you by the hand and drag you outside into the snow.
Awww, yes!
It might, actually… I’ll have to keep that in mind! It’s like a tool that therapists use to counteract negative thinking. If I wouldn’t say it to my inner child then I shouldn’t say it to myself now. I’ll have to keep this idea in my pocket
This is a good thing to remember, too - and I’d listen to your TED Talks all the time You have a lot of wisdom to share!
You and me, both! And what’s funny is that it doesn’t really have anything to do with witchcraft or paganism! I’d love, love, love to make my living with my creative crochet stuff and my writing. I’m getting there, I think? But I’m also terrible at marketing
For what it’s worth, I think you’re also really great at what you do. You bring a lot of joy and wisdom to anything you talk about, and I’m positive people would benefit from working with you in whatever capacity you pursue!
You’re definitely getting there
I’ve seen your crochet items and they’re beautiful, and I love how you do it as devotional work, it definitely shows
Thank you, I’m happy to hear that
Thank you I’m trying to stay positive about it - being busy doesn’t help, but I create when I can!
Anytime! I’m always here to hype you up lol you deserve it!
I love this conversation. I would like to add some comments, but I have to read through it again!
Exactly.
Some update on this!
I had a live 8 hour live coaching intensive with a lovely lady, who was a little familiar with the witchy side, and very knowledgeable of the business side of things, so it was an enjoyable and enlightening time for us both
So turns out just holding space for one person at a time either isn’t financially very sustainable on its own, or if I set a price that really matches what I’m putting into it it, not very accessible and with a higher price people would understandably want to know that they’re getting their money’s worth. So…
Maybe you can after all!
Turns out I need to think a little bigger, and take things more online after all. Things like books and courses. Maybe some small cute things to sell. A whole bunch of marketing. The poetry book is lovely, but we’d love to write another book, detailing our kind of tantric witchcraft Not that I’ve ever done anything like this, any of it, but I’ll have to trust my goddesses on it
Starting mid-January, if I get accepted, I’m going to start a 4 month training that’s all about running a business. That’s something we both agreed with our coach would help me a lot… both with getting the knowledge I need and getting at least part of the anxiety out there instead of when I’m right in the middle of things doing rituals with lovely customers
Something from an email I got today from the existential kink lady, on her mailing list… the dates match beautifully
Why Saturn, why now?
Funny you should ask.This morning my friend Rory sent me a text message that meant absolutely nothing to me, he said;
“Hey, did you know that for the Saturn invocation yinz are doing on Thursday, Saturn is sextiling a Sun & Mercury cazimi in cap?”
I was like, “cool, wtf does that mean? Should I be worried?”
I’m not astrologically illiterate, but cazimis and sextiles are a little beyond my scope.
and then he sent me this:
Excited and terrified. That’s what my coach said is how it is to run a business.
Yay!!
Mine’s only been small-scale, but yep, can confirm.
I’m going to start small scale too, I don’t think it would work very well to build something huge with a little skill and expect it to just work
So much room for expansion though and it’s lovely
@CelestiaMoon Well done you! You deserve all the success the gods can pour upon you.
Yeah, but you’re absolutely magickal. So maybe you could.
