You Were Asked For: What a Calling Really Is
I work with people I call Originators — multi-passionate, creatively wired, often neurodivergent individuals who are, in the truest sense, channels: people through whom something genuinely new wants to come into the world. They have a calling but find it hard to bring it fully to expression. Sometimes the block is practical: time, money, competing responsibilities. But often it runs deeper than that. It's a confusion about what a calling actually is, what it asks of them, and whether they are truly the right person to answer it. This post is for anyone sitting with that confusion.
We Redefined Work. Now We Need to Redefine Rest—and Play
In modern life, we talk about tiredness as if it's automatically a problem, something unnatural. And there are loads of solutions marketed to combat this. Of course, if someone experiences chronic fatigue that isn't resolving itself, that needs special attention. But our need to "cure tiredness" comes from a culture where we're supposed to be endlessly productive.
Our routines don't necessarily sync up with the natural world and the hibernatory impulses of winter. We have this whole culture about curing tiredness—even with supposedly natural means like vitamins or particular drinks—but what if we honoured tiredness as a signal to rest and normalised that without framing it as unwellness?
