Connectedness — Welcome to a Wild and Precious conversation with Cate Baio, Transformational Coach.

Our  conversation begins with Cate speaking to the fact that I view her life’s work as being about connection and connectedness. We wind out way through a conversation that goes to ideas put forth in Brene Brown’s book, “Braving the Wilderness”

We move from there to the idea of being connected to those around you and seeing yourself though the lens provided by those close to you.

We pause for today with the idea that, when we can connect to those around us as our authentic selves, it becomes like a little flame that grows…

Next week, we continue the conversation.

What we talked about:

• First,  Yes, Cate’s life work is centered in connection.
• Second,    Connection to yourself first…but what does that look like? I put forward that Hannah Gatsby seems to be an idealized example of what might happen if we are truly imperfectly our authentic selves.
• Third,    We consider what happens when we are seen and reflected in the eyes of those closest to us.
• Fourth,  We pause for today with the idea that connection can begin like a little flame….

Notes:

• The Wholehearted Collective — Cate’s latest space for connection.
• Braving the Wilderness — Brene Brown
