Right now I’m working from a little country house just outside of Barcelona. A last minute invite to get together with my partner’s Venezuelan family. And because we are both our own bosses and have work that can be popped easily into a backpack, we were able to do it. To me, this kind of freedom is everything. Right from the very start, back when I had no idea of what in the world I wanted to do with my life or career, I knew one thing: I wanted the FREEDOM to work when I wanted and from where I wanted. If I ended up having kids I wanted to be able to balance work and parenting. If I didn’t have kids I wanted to be free to travel and move around and take my work with me wherever I went. Which is why at the age of 31 I was able to quit my life in London and travel around the UK in a campervan named Beryl and then travel around the world for a year after that. Now it means I can create life the way I want. I can slow down in the summer, take days off when I want and weave parenting and work together in a way that feels enjoyable and stress-free. Freedom like this is key to my happiness in life. And it is key to a lot of the people I coach when they come to me for a career change. Freedom looks different to everyone. And I say in my latest video over on selinabarker.com becoming your own boss isn’t the answer for everyone, but I DO believe that making changes to your life and work so that you feel you have the freedom to live and work THE WAY YOU WANT is one of the greatest acts of self-love you can do for yourself. And yes, creating that kind of freedom for yourself always takes courage. But it is courage you most definitely have. I’ll be opening the doors to new clients soon on my 3 month Career Change Coaching programme. If you’re ready to invest in making long lasting change to your life and career so that you have the freedom you dream of, drop me a DM and I’ll send you the link. Here is to a life in which we all feel free 💖💖💖 #careerchange #careerfreedom #careercoach #careerchangecoach #lifedesign #lifedesigner
Imagine the ease and peace you would enjoy if you just allowed yourself to be YOU. No trying to please, no pressure to look a certain way. Just the blissful feeling of settling into your own skin and feeling the beauty of being you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine if you just KNEW that by allowing yourself to be totally and utterly you, your beauty would SHINE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, THAT IS THE TRUTH.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the trouble is we are enveloped in a world that does its best to convince us that it isn’t OK to just be you. That beauty looks a certain way, behaves a certain way. That it has to be bought with the right outfit, the best face cream, the perfect lip colour 🙄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so we get sucked into a life of comparison, of trying and striving and never quite feeling good enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s exhausting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And yet deep down we all know that the most beautiful people are those that are deeply comfortable in their own skin. Those that love and accept themselves exactly as they are. That dare to be themselves and feel no desire to be anything else. That celebrate themselves in all their delicious imperfections. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So let’s join those ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let go of the propaganda that you need to be and look a certain way to be beautiful and discover the REAL BEAUTY of being YOU 💖💖💖💖💖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #selflovejourney #selfcarematters #selfloveclub #sisterhood #flourish #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #loveyourself #selflovejourney #selfcarematters #selfloveclub #livewithintention
Imagine if we all had the courage to give ourselves the rest and play we deserve each day 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Give it a try today...what could you do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get to bed half an hour earlier tonight? 🛏 Have a no-screens evening? ☁️ Play a board game? Cartwheel in the park? 🤸🏾‍♂️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because you really do deserve to fill your life with rest and play. So stop putting it off 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you for the image @youngmothersinc ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #brenebrownquotes #brenebrown #designalifeyoulove #selflove #selfloveclub
Do you feel that life just IS hard a lot of the time? That making money is never easy? That living a life you love doesn’t come without a struggle? I thought, what with being co-founder of Project Love and all, that I was pretty good at enjoying life and leaning into the love and magic, but OH NO. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working with @drtilean (possibly world’s most magical and amazing business coach) to uncover soooo many ways I self-sabotage (see my Stories on this today) and don’t just expect the struggle in life BUT SEEK IT OUT! 😳🙈🤯 It’s as if there always has to be one area that I’m struggling with, so that I’m allowed to enjoy the rest. But enjoy ease and love in ALL areas of my life all at the same time? Are you crazy?! What kind of fanciful fairytale is that?! I am still stunned. Of course I didn’t see it. It was fully in my blind spot. But now it’s been uncovered I see how I’ve been doing it for...mmm...forever. The impact of being addicted to the ‘struggle’ and life having to be hard or tiring or full on? IT’S BIG. I don’t ever allow myself to be fully in love with life. And as I sit with that, I feel how that has been for me. The emptiness and sadness and pain of it. But while I sit with it I also feel a whole new delicious possibility opening up: the possibility of being in love with life. Wow. How cool would THAT be? And you know what? I’m ready for it. How about you? #lifedesign #designalifeyoulove #inlovewithlife #livingintentionally #consciousliving
In case you missed the announcement at the start of July, Vicki (in case you are new here, she is the other half of Project Love) has taken the summer off from instagram. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At first I enjoyed having the place to myself. You know, like when you live within partner and they go away for a week and at first it’s quite fun because you can spread like a star in bed and do what you want, when you want without thinking about anyone else? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At first it feels fun and liberating and then after a few a while the novelty wears off and you start to roam around the house feeling the weight of so much silence and bored without your playmate, wishing that time will speed up a bit until they’re back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well that’s me now...feeling the weight of the silence and bored without my playmate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But she WILL be back at the start of September and with her some exciting news that we cannot wait to share with you! Not to mention a new season of podcasts! 🎙💃🏽💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Until then, I’ll just keep trawling through our old pics until we’re back together again making new ones! X Selina
I gave up coffee once. Then I had a baby, while running two businesses...so...I am heavily into coffee. And I’m at peace with that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it is a daily delicate dance of ‘is one more going to be one too many?’ or risking the artisan coffee shop that you know is going to serve a flat white that will get your jaw chattering after the first sip 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? Or if it’s not coffee, what do you use to fuel your day? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨Amazing illustration by @michellerial
Bought this beautiful book as a gift for myself while I was on a solo date on Friday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘Step into your power’ ( my intention for 2019) is full of wisdom and empowering life guidance, written for girls but really it’s written for us all. It’s by the amazing @jamilaawilson and illustrated by the brilliant @andreapippins. Both wonderful women to follow 💛💛💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honestly, it is SUCH a gorgeous book - see our stories to take a look inside xxx⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sisterhood #lifedesign #lifedesigncoaching #designalifeyoulove #flourish #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #findlove #makethingshappen #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #selflovejourney #selfcarematters #selfloveclub #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #livewithintention #createyourlife
Living a life you love isn’t about feeling happy all the time. And it’s not about trying to control everything in life. Sometimes life is going to be hard, you’re going to feel angry, anxious, stressed out, depressed or sad. But when you do, the part you CAN control is that you can learn to give yourself what you need in those moments. Let yourself feel the feelings and learn how to find the comfort you need. This illustration from @positivelypresent is such a powerful visual to remind you of the little things you can do when you’re feeling sad. Little things that can make a big difference. So if you’re going through a tough time at the moment or if you find yourself feeling sad this week or next, just remember that there are always things you can do to comfort yourself when you’re going through a hard time. Use this image as a little prompt of things you can try. And remember, you’re not alone. We’re all in this together. #lifedesign #consciousliving #designalifeyoulove #lifecoach #lifecoaching
Wow. Had you seen this quote by Albert Einstein before?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know if I’m alone in being late to the party on this, but I had no idea that he (and many scientists, mathematicians and engineers) valued intuition in this way - as a powerful and practical human tool. A gift. A way of arriving at answers that you won’t arrive at through rational thinking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It got me so excited! I thought it was just the witches amongst us that talked about intuition. I had no idea so many of the scientists were into it too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨✨✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dailylovebyte #consciousliving #intuitiveliving #intuitivemind #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #livewithintention #createyourlife
If you’re starting to get that sinking feeling that the happiness and freedom of the weekend is coming to an end and tomorrow you’ll be heading back into a job that feels like it’s sucking the life out of you, then this post is for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because we are committed to ending Sunday night blues. We want you to arrive at Sunday night excited for the week that lies ahead, because it is a week full of you doing work you LOVE. Work that fulfils you, work that makes you come alive, work that feels like you were born to do it 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you DON’T feel like that. If your work makes you feel like you’re trapped, like you’re drowning, then you DO have a choice. You CAN change this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And this August I’m running one-off Career Change Strategy Sessions to help you figure out what it is you REALLY want to do and a plan of how you’re going to make it happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s make THIS the Summer where you kickstart your career change.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because there is ONE common regret that career changers often say they have: it’s that they didn’t do it sooner.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Changing your career will change your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finding work that fills your heart is one of the greatest acts of self love there is.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you’re ready to make this the Summer you kickstarted your career change then hit the link in the bio @loveprojectlove to find out all⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ about booking in a Career Change Strategy Session with me this summer. I’m doing discovery calls all this week, so DM me or email me at hello@loveprojectlove.com if you want to book one in and discuss what Career Change Coaching could do for you x Selina #careerchange #careershift #careerchangecoach #careerchangecoaching #dowhatyoulove
LOVE this by the wonderful @positivelypresent - there are so many tools and tips out there (and brilliant that there are) about what to do when you feel sad, anxious or stressed out, but what about when you are HAPPY? This is a brilliant little reminder to lean into those happy moments in life and really get present to them. Use them to grow your inner happiness bank 💛💛💛
My career is truly one of the great loves of my life. It was the first building block in my adult life that was created out of me taking a leap of faith and following my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I LOVE my work. From the coaching, to the podcasts, the journal, the courses and just the daily play and challenge of running a business in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me my career, my business, is a playground. One that I created, that I designed FOR ME. Because I wanted a space in the world that I could be my own boss. Be free. Be me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do I think everyone should have a career or business like mine? Hell no. Do I think everyone should be their own boss. Nope - it is NOT the right thing for everyone. Do I think we all need to strive to find our ‘calling’ in life? No way. But I do strongly believe that if there is a dream in you, just a FEELING even, that there is something more for you out there, that if you are finding it increasingly hard to drag yourself to work every day, that if you keep burning out or getting sick, then you probably do have a calling that is calling out to you. Letting you know that there IS a career path out there for you that has your name on it. That will be FOOD for our soul.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If what I’m writing is resonating, then DM me. I’m running one-off Career Change Strategy Sessions in August and if you’re ready to make a change, then I’m ready to help you ✨💛✨ x Selina
“Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ – Eleanor Brownn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Self care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary because you can’t pour from an empty cup. Focus on taking care of yourself and giving from the overflow 🍯 and you will have more to give to others 🥰❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me, this means taking a break from Instagram over the Summer and focusing on self care and filling up my cup 🍯❤️💛 I’ll be back soon and I look forward to connecting with you when I’m back! Wishing you a wonderful Summer 😍 V xxx

Oooh THIS ✨🤩🦄⚡️🌈Whatever your beliefs, I find that everyone has, at some point in their lives, experienced life throwing them a big life-changing curve ball, that perhaps at the time felt like their life had turned upside down, only to later realise it was turning it the right way up. Setting them on a path that would lead them to one or many of their dreams coming true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lauren talks about it in our latest ‘Real Love Story’ episode - how her boyfriend cheating on her 4 years ago was devastating at the time, but it set her free to find the love of her life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I see it all the time in my career change clients when they first contact me. They often have NO IDEA of what it is they want to do but something in them is saying ‘you have to change, I know it is scary, but there is more to life than this for you, so much more...’ and so they take the courageous leap into the unknown and the journey begins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m about to celebrate my little boy’s 4th birthday. He was a BIG surprise to me and my (now) fiancé. We’d only been dating 5 months when Sammy arrived early to the party. But we took a leap of faith. It felt scary as hell. But it felt right. And here we are about to celebrate 4 years of love and adventures together as a family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So much of life is about taking a leap of faith into the unknown. Of trusting - whether that’s in the universe or in yourSELF. And what I have witnessed in people time and time again, is a guiding spirit within that is wise and just seems to know what that person needs and the direction they need to go in, even when the end is still unclear. Our job is to tune into that voice and learn to trust it ✨✨✨ X S ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @allysarochelle for posting this image earlier in the week xx #dailylovebyte #designalifeyoulove #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #livewithintention #createyourlife #trusttheuniverse #innerguide
WE’RE 6 MONTHS INTO 2019...HOW HAS IT BEEN FOR YOU?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☁️As we slip into the second part of 2019, let’s take a moment to take a step back, reflect on what we’ve been up to and then plan what we want to focus on over the next 3 months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎧Come and join us on our recent episode where we guide you through the quarterly check-in in our Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019 journal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📓Grab your journal and come and do it with us!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📝And if you don’t have a journal, just grab a pen and paper and come and do it with us anyway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then let us know what YOUR three commitments this next quarter are going to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And Selina will be on stories sharing her insights into why she keeps NOT fulfilling on her quarterly commitments (at least not all of them) and how she thinks she might have cracked it! 🤞✨🤞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤗 link in bio 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifedesign #lifedesigncoaching #designalifeyoulove #flourish #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #makethingshappen #loveyourself #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #livewithintention #createyourlife
Have you started that revolution in your own life? 💖💖💖 Of saying NO to putting yourself last, of saying NO to putting everyone else’s needs first, of saying NO to the things you want to say no to (radical idea, right?!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learning to love yourself and accept yourself exactly as you are isn’t easy, particularly in the early days. But it is worth it on SO many levels: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The person who loves and accepts themselves has more energy to pour into the world around them because they pour it into themselves. They have more compassion to offer because they offer it to themselves and they have more love to give because they generate from the inside out so that it is forever flowing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So no, self-love isn’t selfish and it isn’t a nice-to-have. Self-love is revolutionary. Are you part of the revolution? ✊🏽💖✊🏿💖✊🏼💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifedesign #lifedesigncoaching #designalifeyoulove #flourish #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #makethingshappen #loveyourself #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #selflovejourney #selfcarematters #selfloveclub #livewithintention #createyourlife
Happy Monday lovelies! What will you be doing this week to nourish yourself mind, body, heart and soul? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me it’s going to be a run in the park, an evening getting deep into conversation with a friend (looking at you @allysarochelle 🥰) and a letter to myself from my wise older self.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ X Selina ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ILLUSTRATION 📷 @apairandaspare⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #designalifeyoulove #consciousliving #livelifeonpurpose #lifedesigner #lifebydesign #livewithintention #createyourlife #selfcare #selfcaremondays #selfloveclub
Feeling all of this today after our podcast with @novareidofficial reidofficial on race, racism and white privilege that went live yesterday ✨✨✨ 🎧click link in bio @loveprojectlove to listen Recording the episode left Nova and me feeling so full of love, hope and possibility. I really believe, having been doing Nova’s anti-racism course that as a white woman, the biggest difference I can make to help dismantle racism (and it will take more than my lifetime) is to shine a light on my own inner racist programming that I have in me, whether I realised it before or not, simply by the virtue of being raised in a society and culture that has systemic racism inbuilt. There is no one to blame and it’s not about being a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ person (as we discuss in this episode). Guilt and shame did flood my system at first when I started this work and I was triggered a LOT. But I sat with the discomfort and slowly but surely I started to feel the shifts internally. Then I started to feel them externally. For me it feels so close to the kind of work that @brenebrown talks about all the time: being vulnerable, shining light on the shame and opening the door to greater compassion and connection the more we do it. Now having started to own my inner racist programming, far from outing myself as deep down being an evil fascist (a genuine fear of my inner critic) I am now able to start learning what it is to be a good ally. And for a black woman and a white woman to be able to sit down and have a frank, open, honest conversation about racism and white privilege...well that really did feel pretty powerful. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you @novareidofficial for the work that you do and I am so proud of us for this episode 😍...this is just the beginning! And if you are white and want to come and do the anti-racism course that has been transforming my world then hit the link to the episode and in the show notes you’ll find a special discount link that runs until 7th July 🙏🏾thank you Nova And thank you @kimothy.joy for this amazing image 💖💖💖 P.S. tag a friend who you think will like this episode
