Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina has brought together an amazing and diverse group of women to form a virtual roundtable to talk about what each of them has learned from the Covid 19 quarantine and what we can do to take the best of what we’ve learned forward into our post-quarantine lives. There are a lot of conversations about Covid 19, our desire is to contribute to the Covid 19 conversation with a message of hope and gratitude, with intention and vision for a better world. These women share where they were when they realized how serious this was, what their quarantine experience has been like and how they see it being a vehicle for positive change in their lives as well as their worlds. Looking at the Covid 19 quarantine through a positive lens – shifting from fear to love, from lack to the gift, from being so busy running on a hamster wheel to slowing down and being able to rest and reset- these women open up from a vulnerable place to share their hearts and their very real struggles. One of the powerful ideas to come from our virtual time together was the theme of community and connection, how this global experience has shrunk the world down to show us how much we really are alike no matter our background. This episode is a message of hope, resilience and trusting process. Please grab a cuppa something wonderful, get your favorite cozy clothes on and have a virtual listening party with your girlfriends then share your own ideas about what the Covid 19 quarantine has been teaching you and how you would like to see your world change in light of it. As Carl Jung said so well, “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.” http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode153/
