The Invisible Work

Lately I’ve been consumed with what my mentor calls the ‘deep, inconvenient, slow, invisible work of getting congruent within’.

For me that means seeing and releasing my earliest and most pervasive conditioning around self-worth, showing up and taking up space, my ability to receive, to have fun, and to treat myself with love. Let’s just say there is some very old negative messaging around this.

The invisible work is a bundle of contradictions: it’s hard, painful, liberating, freeing, tiring, scary, and energizing…all at once. And even if you have the support of a coach, change worker or other practitioner, you’re the one doing this deep dive into yourself. No one can do it for you.

I know that I’m not the only one with a bunch of crappy conditioning in my head. Most of my clients struggle with similar ideas. Although I work with a lot of women who - like me - have ingrained beliefs around worthiness, visibility and speaking up, I also work with men who deal with these things. It seems to be part of humaning.

In the change work world, we like to joke that the people who come to us are working on the same issues. It’s true! This is even more reason for me to show up for my own work every day. And it makes me wonder…is there an intelligence innate to the human evolutionary process that guides us to others who are changing in the ways we want to change?

Maybe. For now I know that my invisible work is the next piece of my puzzle to be placed, the next strand in my story that needs unraveling. Because I am committed to holding the flashlight for my clients as they search the dark corners of their own conditioning. And this deep work is helping me become the person I have always longed to be.
