Same label could apply to me. Former tech employee doing film and writing. Here’s the thing, each interaction is allowing you a growth moment to refine and refine how you identify yourself in a short pitch. Right now you can’t. That’s to be expected. The soup of insecurity is a button soup and so you just have to let in (to some extent) the helpful information because it will output a delicious and earthy concoction that is whole and nourishing. I tried to make the analogy work. It might have failed. Also I just made a soup.

You took the analogy to an even better place! Thank you Beth, I really appreciate the reframe. It's definitely a moment for growth while also acknowledging that my inner and external identity will take the time to develop. Btw- curious how you're approaching your film and writing career. If you have the bandwidth for a chat(or if you have a blog post about this somewhere) would love to learn more!

I'd welcome the chat! I've been in my soup since May and it's been valleys and peaks and i'm just feeling in the past month I've been able to be present and open to creative opportunities that challenge me in good ways that I wasn't prior. It's been exhilarating but also plenty of mines in the way of doubt. What helps with "the work" for me is reframing, candles (it is calming) and also talking to people who are on journeys like this or can be allies for you. Here is my link to chat if you want to schedule time: https://calendly.com/blisogorsky/30-minute-coffee-chat

It is hard but journey inside is best therapy .

If I can not be my friend then how I can expect others to be my friend .

You read any spiritual book , talk to any learned person -all they say is “going inwards “

I loved your post

It was wonderful and so very true

You are on right path but again “ you don’t need validation from me or anyone “

Reminder-validation is only for parking tickets and labels are only for Jars

Thank you mom! Going inwards requires letting go of resistance, which is hard but I'm figuring it out. I also really appreciate your support and how much you champion me <3

I also love this line: "Validation is only for parking tickets and labels are only for Jars"
