@Betsy Moll, @Angela Walker In today’s conversation, we named how grief resists timelines and often returns in waves, whether the loss is a person, a possibility, or a sense of normalcy. We traced how many adults struggle with emotions because they were never taught the language for them, and how naming feelings helps move them from raw physiology into conscious processing. We also reflected on parenting and care‑giving.may take the form of over‑protection that can limit resilience, and how presence, curiosity, and asking what someone actually needs (“advice or venting”) creates true support. At its core, the discussion centered on slowing down, witnessing honestly, and letting emotional experience unfold rather than trying to fix it. Here's a little reminder of a quote about life from @Angela Walker

Instead of just writing, I wanted to share a reflection on our time spent in the first three chapters of The Invitation. I have found these chapters to be hard and yet hopeful. Looking forward to next Saturday's book club meeting. Calendar Link 👈 Here

There is a particular kind of brilliance in slowing down enough to name your coordinates. Not as an intellectual exercise, not as a performance of self‑awareness, but as an act of self‑leadership. 🧭 You cannot navigate a map if you are blind to your current position. 🗺️ Naming where you stand interrupts the instinct to fix what was never meant to be fixed. It softens the urgency that high‑performance culture tries to impose on your healing. It shifts you from bracing to witnessing, from forcing movement to allowing transformation. And perhaps most importantly, it reminds you that you are not being undone by loss. You are being reshaped. Rearranged. Strengthened in ways that expand your capacity to hold your own history. So as we stand at the edge of the fog, I invite you to ask, gently, honestly: Which river am I in right now? Where have I been misallocating my effort? And how is this season quietly changing the shape of who I am becoming? This is the work of The Clarity Collective. Not speed. Not solutions. But precision, presence, and the courage to name the truth of your own terrain. We walk this part together. ❤️
