A free resource to help people to explore, get curious with themselves, understand specific behaviours, and be okay with the ever-evolving, imperfect, complex, brave human that is you. EMBRACE is an accountability tool. It is an acronym to help with looking specifically at what is happening to you and around you and it prompts with specific questions to help stay focused on working on you and explores areas where you may feel stuck.

According to Jen….

For many years now I have heard people say, ‘I am doing the work to embrace me. I have read the books, listened to the podcasts, made some changes, started working on myself, but it only lasts a few weeks (maybe days).  I slip back into my old patterns and then everything feels overwhelming again’.

People who attended my practice would talk about unlearning patterns of behaviour that no longer served them and would work on their thoughts, gratitude, exercise, diets, therapy, boundaries, relaxation and more.  Then slowly, old patterns would creep back in and that overwhelming engulfing feeling would have front row seats again. Before they realized what was going on, they were back on the continuous roller coaster of doing the work, not doing the work, feeling the work, forgetting about the work and then not knowing where to start again.

In my usual style I started asking people who were able to get off the roller coaster, what they did specifically. I wanted to look at and ask, what behaviours did they have in common?

So, I came up with the acronym of EMBRACE to provide a tool or an accountability check-list to look at areas that you may be stuck. This resource can assist when you feel overwhelmed or ‘not enough’ by asking yourself questions and prompts to get curious and remind you that it is a daily practice.

This is not a one size fits all resource, but rather a map or a tool for your own tool-box to assist when you are walking the road of embracing the Human Being, Not the Human Doing.  This is about practicing, screwing up and practicing again.  Working  on you, means that you get to show up in your life, your way and in a way where you are okay to EMBRACE the imperfect you.
