Creating Space for Growth
Life often tells us that transformation and healing are heavy, that they require deep struggle and sacrifice. But what if I told you that healing doesn’t have to be heavy? What if the path to growth could actually be light, fun, and playful?
I believe that when we embrace playfulness and curiosity, we open up new spaces for growth and transformation. These qualities don’t just make life more enjoyable—they are essential to unlocking new possibilities. Let me share how I bring them into my own journey, and how you can, too.

🌱 Let Playfulness Lighten Your Path
When I think about how I approach my life and work, I’m reminded that playfulness is at the heart of everything I do. Nature has a wonderful way of inspiring this in me. Whether it’s dancing, singing, or just spending time outdoors, I find myself filled with wonder at the small, magical moments around me. Just recently, I came across a rock that looked like a whale and a tree stump that seemed to have a fairy house in it. Nature’s surprises are reminders that life is full of hidden gems, waiting for us to discover.
By embracing curiosity and play, we can start to notice what’s working—and what isn’t—in our lives. I encourage you to ask yourself: What’s working for me right now? And if something isn’t, imagine what it would look like if it did work. What would that version of your life look like? Visualizing your desired outcome and noticing where you feel resistance can help create clarity and guide you to the next step in your journey.
🌸 Laughter and Curiosity: Keys to Breakthroughs
One of the most powerful tools I’ve found for healing and transformation is laughter. Laughter has the ability to shift our energy and lighten the heaviness we sometimes carry. I’ve seen it time and time again—not just in my own life, but in others’ as well. A few weeks ago, I was mentoring a colleague who was struggling with boundary setting. She was working too many hours and feeling overwhelmed, but she just couldn’t find the confidence to say “no.”
I guided her through a simple breath exercise and asked her, When did this first start happening for you? Immediately, she recognized the source of her challenge. After we did some healing work, she was able to speak confidently about her limits and set boundaries at work. This moment of clarity and lightness happened because she approached it with curiosity and willingness to look deeper.
Just like a child who might ask, What’s silly about this? or What’s funny about this?—curiosity helps us break free from resistance. The more we can shift our mindset and ask ourselves these playful questions, the more breakthroughs we create.
🌿 A Simple Ceremony to Let Go
Healing doesn’t always have to be complicated or draining. One of my favorite ways to release what no longer serves me is through a simple ceremony. It doesn’t have to be long or drawn out—it’s about setting an intention to let go. I’ll write down my worries on a piece of paper and then burn it as a symbolic act of releasing what I no longer need.
This doesn’t have to be an elaborate ritual; it can be as simple as lighting a candle or setting an intention to release old patterns. If you’re feeling stuck, try it for yourself. Write down what you want to let go of and burn the paper, symbolizing your commitment to move forward with more lightness and freedom.
💫 Curiosity in Nature: A Powerful Practice
If you want to engage with curiosity in a very simple, accessible way, take a walk in nature. Here’s an exercise: Find five things that make you question or wonder. It could be a beautiful leaf, an interesting rock, or a cloud shaped like something you’ve never seen before. The key is to allow your curiosity to guide you. Ask yourself: What’s the story behind that rock? or What makes that tree look so unique? The more we engage with curiosity, the more we tap into our creative potential.
This exercise not only brings you closer to nature, but it helps you become more open to possibilities in every area of your life.
🌟 Shifting Mindsets: Opening the Door to New Possibilities
One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned is that by shifting your mindset, you open doors to new possibilities. A few weeks ago, I attended a body, mind, and spirit expo, where I had a conversation with a young woman who shared how she had been a mermaid and a unicorn in another life. Her story was a reminder to me to sparkle and embrace my uniqueness.
Since then, I’ve been exploring new ways to become more visible and share my message. The mindset shift from “I’m not ready” to “I’m embracing my uniqueness” has opened so many new doors. I encourage you to ask yourself: What new possibilities could arise if I embraced my unique gifts and shifted my perspective?
Shifting your mindset from resistance to curiosity invites new opportunities and growth, no matter where you are in your journey.
🌿 Let’s Grow Together
Healing and transformation don’t have to be heavy. By bringing playfulness and curiosity into your life, you create the space for growth, adventure, and new possibilities. I encourage you to try out the exercises I’ve shared—whether it’s a simple nature walk, a releasing ceremony, or just shifting your perspective.
Remember, life is an adventure. The more we embrace curiosity and play, the more we open ourselves up to transformation. If you’re ready to explore this journey of lightness and growth, I’m here to guide you.
