“The 'American Dream' ... you have to be asleep to believe it.” G. Carlin
My clientele has increased over the past few months; I seem to be coaching more and more people. I was recently asked if I thought it had anything to do with a “wellness trend” expanding in the self-help world, and my response was no… it is because of Donald Trump. Ever since the shock of last year’s presidential election, we have all had to sit with grave uncertainty. Those who voted for Trump anxiously await the controversial changes he promised throughout his campaign, while those who did not vote for Trump anxiously await this country’s ruin – no matter your vote, genuine unease prevails over us all.

This kind of discomfort has many people on edge (myself included). Whether we are directly impacted or not, something is stirring. Not only are we suddenly beginning to seriously question our morals, our truths, our values, and our convictions, we are also becoming more challenged than ever to follow, or change, the path that they reveal. I have always believed Donald Trump to be a necessary evil. He continues to expose much of the trauma and neurosis that festers beneath our nation’s soil. We are currently rumbling with our individual and collective shadows. As bubbles burst and delusions dissolve, we must grapple with hard realities.
Such dismantling continues as we enter 2018 – things will not let up. There are significant astrological trends in the new year, beginning with a powerful Full Moon on New Year’s Day – an omen (more to come on that Full Moon). I am not one to predict doom and gloom, and, I cannot help but to forewarn of more difficult times ahead. Of course, what makes anything difficult is how we respond. Gentility is possible as we channel these rumblings toward transformation. That means bracing for change. It looks like facing fears. It requires that we hold ourselves and others accountable. It comes with the release of all that festers. It involves waking up to your life, and to the world around you.
