Start Here! Welcome to the community
Welcome to First, Be Whole This community is for anyone who feels like they've lost themselves somewhere along the way — or whose body has been sending signals that something is off and nobody has had a real answer yet. If you're tired, disconnected, unwell, and done being handed solutions that don't actually fit — this is where you come to return to your whole self. Introduce yourself. Drop a comment below with your name, where you're from, and what brought you here. I read every single one. Book a free 15-minute call with me. No pitch, no agenda — just a chance to meet, talk about where you are, and figure out where you want to go. 👉 https://calendly.com/maggiedooling-firstbewhole/free-q-a-with-maggie Check the Calendar tab for upcoming events and live sessions. This community is brand new, which means you're early. More is coming. I'm really glad you're here for the beginning of it. A note: I'm a licensed Registered Nurse and Certified Holistic Nurse Coach — not a physician. Nothing shared here substitutes for medical advice or replaces your relationship with your doctor. — Maggie

Hi! I'm Noodle. I live in central Virginia. I'm a Family man, artist, dirt bag, scholar of his own making, and all-around good guy (at least that's what I tell myself so I can sleep at night). Oh, and I have a great sense of humor.

I don’t believe that I am a dirtbag, for real, but some people in certain social circles might call me that, they have in the past. But for those particular people, in those particular circles, I promise I will not change to beat your drum.
Real Talk
Real talk — how are you actually doing right now? Not the version you tell your coworkers. The real one. Are you exhausted? Feeling kind of... blank? Like you're going through the motions but can't quite remember what you used to care about? Or maybe you're dealing with something physical that nobody has been able to fully explain — and you're starting to wonder if they ever will. Wherever you are, drop it in the comments. No judgment, no unsolicited advice. I just want to know who's in the room. Name, where you're from, and one honest sentence about where you are right now. That's it.

I feel stuck at times. My creative process stifled by my creative process. I'm sure my inability to finish projects comes from a fear of failure, but I'm not sure how to get over this fear. The only one my creations could fail is myself, yet here I am with half a dozen unfinished projects.

@Maggie DoolingI've always been creative. I was born with a pencil in hand according to my mother. But I start things get great ideas, then like a moth to a flame or squirrel to a nut, I think of something else and stop what I'm doing and run to start something else. I don't know that I consider myself an artist perse, I have too many different things I do to pin it down to that title. I think of everything as a different type of brush though. It could be an actual brush or a chainsaw, a block of clay or a field that has never been touched by anyone but farmers, it's all able to become something different if I have the tools and the Idea. The idea will grow as I go and some times that's my kryptonite. I just keep adding and adding until its never finished. When I walk by an unfinished project, I feel a ping of shame and resent towards myself, but I'm busy with this other thing so I don't have time for it now.
