Eps 039: Personal update - how I'm using my time while on a two week personal retreat

from The Designed Life · host Hollis M. M.

How often do we carve out time, to then only use it by succumbing to distraction or squandering it with petty little projects? How often do we arrive at a moment of spaciousness only to then not feel capable of immersing ourselves fully into it?In this episode I layout my schedule for the two weeks I'll be on a solo self-guided retreat – the projects I plan to work on, the books I plan to read, and the activities I plan to enjoy.I recorded this episode at 10pm the night before I flew out because I was having a lot of creative blocks around what I wanted to share this week and it took me awhile to arrive on this topic. But as I was journalling (in an attempt to stay up all night to get to the airport at 4am) the idea of sharing how I'll be using my time during this solo experience felt timely and relevant.So also please know that it's not the most structured and cohesive eps I've ever recorded!I'd love to what resonated for you from anything I shared here, and can't wait to update you on how the trip unfolds!Mentioned:Constellations Scorpio SeasonThe Mysteries of the Dark MoonEssbe JewelryRead the connected Substack to this episodeConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASTROLOGY READINGS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LIFE COACHING⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PINTEREST⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠THREADS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠
