Welcome to my blog
Here you’ll find short articles about creativity, trauma-informed coaching, meaningful working and living, healing and personal growth. I also share books that I love and have found useful and reflect on creative or experiential processes to support you in cultivating your own reflective practice.
Free from AI. This blog is written by one human (that’s me, Conny), from the heart, with you in mind. I hope you find inspiration, food for thought and not too many typos!
100 days: an invitation to dance between Inspiration and Reality
As I reflect on the 100 Day Project and Michael Bierut’s intention behind it, I see parallels with the tension of inspiration and reality identified by the Map of Meaning. The 100 Day project is a low stakes training opportunity to practice and experience the (im)balance between inspiration and reality, or inspiration and discipline and can teach us how to remain hopeful and show up in the face of life with all its messiness.
Love your work. Do I have to?
Should we love our work? And is this even possible? What if the idea of a perfect job is as unhelpful as searching for the perfect partner. Instead we could strive for meaningful work. Understanding your personal sources of meaning is a good place to start.
