    E69 - Rooted & Unwavering - May 22 - Hylke Faber & Lori Brewer Collins

    “I started off as an achievement junkie,” shares Lori Brewer Collins, transformational coach and recognized leader in the fields of vertical development, polarity thinking, and global leadership agility. Over time, she learned not to reject the achievement-driven part of herself, but to integrate it alongside long-dormant dimensions, including her desire to paint, write, and simply be. “Integration starts with not making my earlier self wrong,” Lori reflects. “It’s about openness, soft wonder, warm welcome - being with all the parts of ourselves, including the parts longing for healing.” One of the shadow sides Lori describes is her relationship to anger - something she discovered she could trace back to her four-year-old self who sought understanding. “I needed to learn how to stay with that part of me, and when I did, something began to open.” She described it as moving from a feeling of inner jaggedness to one of sfumato - a term Leonardo da Vinci used to describe how he softened his painting's edges so nothing was harshly separated or overdefined. She emphasizes the importance of accompaniment and trusted guides as we journey towards inner maturity.  When we learn to embrace ourselves in this way, Lori suggests it's the beginning of recognizing how each of us is a universe of mystery. And how our self-compassion becomes the foundation of empathy for others. It's here that mature leadership begins: the willingness to listen deeply to all the parts within ourselves and within others."
