Hi Mitle ❤️ I so loved reading this and have a full bodied resonance to standing on the edge. I have gone through my peri-monopause into post-menopause now, but that unknown liminal space of transition continues to whisper 'I know nothing' through my experience. It is the most intense process I have yet traversed. Xx
Hello dear Vanessa - thank you so much for sharing this. It is intense! I have a session with a menopause doula (!) this afternoon - I feel that I need some tethering so that I don't slip off the edge! xx
‘I’m not doing circles but being a circle holder (even when I’m a little lost)’. These words are so comforting and guiding for me right now. Thank you 🙏🏻
Your sharing of your pondering here are so beautiful and one of the exact reasons I adore your ‘brand’ of circle. Honest and real x
Mitlé I started copying and pasting paragraphs and then gave up as there really were so many ‘OMG yes!’ moments for me in your letter. You’ve described that liminal edge so potently and I resonate so strongly with the building of capacity and willingness for discomfort. There is so much wisdom in it hey? I love the whisper of discontent you refer to and celebrate you and your honouring of it. I really appreciate your contemplations and sharing here. X
And oh yes... there are many things (circles included) that I have felt at odds with and somewhat unsure of wether I even want to associate myself with. I appreciate you speaking to this x
Ah yes - this is a big struggle for me. I love Circles and all they have brought me AND feel totally at odds and disconnected with much of the "movement"! xx
Mitle I think the answer to your malaise lies in the statement “circles are a wellness trend.” I feel the disconnect too. My circles have never seen a flower crown and I rarely wear neutrals 😉. If anything, your honesty about your discomfort makes me even more convinced that you’re the right circle guide for me
Yes - I so struggled with that when I first read it. I totally rebelled against it and then wondered if perhaps it's a helpful thing for those holding circles and then felt repelled by the whole idea of a trend. And around in circles! And thank you - I'm grateful to know that I'm the right circle guide for you xx

A menopause doula? How incredible and desperately needed
