This one is a little different. I've been thinking about something that doesn't get talked about enough — what we actually lost when our meetings moved to Teams. Pre-COVID, I'd walk out of a hospital bed meeting and have three meaningful conversations on the way back to the ward. Post-COVID? I mute myself, share my update, and click off. Efficiency is real. But so is the cost. The blog is live. Would love to know: do you feel the difference too?

Skool has been a gamechanger for me and those inside NMI Connection Creator Academy because I'm scheduling Connection Calls but I'm transitioning them into a recording which has been incredible. I had another scheduled call with @Marta Nagyova and she took me up on recording an episode which I commend her for doing something she never did before. Podcasting can be scary for some but she had an awesome time and shared gems. Have you connected with her yet?

Shadow Work → Therapeutic Art Transition Understanding Yourself Is Powerful — But Expression Is What Creates Change Over the past week inside the Quiet Turning we have explored Shadow Work. Understanding patterns. Understanding triggers. Understanding emotional wounds. Understanding the parts of ourselves that developed to protect us. And this kind of awareness is powerful. But awareness alone is not always enough. Because insight lives in the mind. But growth often requires expression. Psychology shows us something important about emotional processing. Not everything can be solved through thinking. Some experiences need expression. Not necessarily through words. But through safe forms of release. This is why therapeutic approaches often include creative expression alongside reflection. Because creativity allows things to move that logic alone cannot reach. Therapeutic art is not about being artistic. It is not about talent. It is not about creating something impressive. It is about creating something honest. Expression through drawing, colour, writing, movement or symbolism allows the brain to process experience differently than conversation alone. This is why creative expression is often used in therapy, trauma recovery and emotional regulation work. Because sometimes what we feel is easier to express than explain. And sometimes what we create shows us things we were not consciously aware of. This is why the next Quiet Turning course moves into Therapeutic Art. Not as an art course. But as a personal growth tool. Because after awareness comes integration. And integration often requires expression. So this next week we explore how creativity can become a tool for understanding yourself more deeply. Not to perform. Not to impress. But to process. Because growth is not just about understanding yourself. It is about allowing yourself to become more whole. Reflection When do you feel most able to process things? Talking? Writing? Creating? Walking?

This is me… exhausted at my desk, even on my bed 😅 trying to tailor resumes for clients transitioning into tech. And honestly, it’s never just about changing roles, it’s about getting everything right. You need the right training, the right certifications, and a resume that actually positions you well for the roles you’re applying for. 😩😩At this point, I think I might actually need an extra hand 😄 but we keep going.
