Rooted and Rising - Coaching Conversations with Anna-Marie
‘There’s a different energy between rooted and rising. It’s that stability of the rootedness. There’s that assuredness, that confidence.
And then there’s that rising of, well, I don’t know. What could emerge? I don’t have all the answers. I don’t know where I’m going and that’s ok. I don’t need to control it or plan. Things will emerge. This a big element around trust’ - Anna-Marie

Wherever you are is exactly where you need to be…
