The Reasons Why Connection Calls are Important

Why do I insist on Connection calls with people before working with them? I haven't always done it and have experienced the results of my lack of care when accepting clients...

I've been in unsafe situations in circles where I was bullied and where other women were bullied.

Where some women were randomly chosen to be elevated over the other women who, by comparison, were made less.

Where the facilitator just checked out...in fact, there have been times where I checked out--not intentionally, but a freeze response--when challenging situations came up within the group.

These experiences have brought me to the understanding that we always have to come back to safety, in our hearts, in our minds, and especially in our bodies. When a challenge arises, we have to step back to the place where we feel safe. We can start from there and only there.

We are all human and we are all fallible. Connection calls aren't about finding perfect people, they are about finding clients who are able to show up. About letting me do a gut-check and also letting the client find out if my vibe and style are a good fit for them.

There is a weaving that happens when people work with me. We can all feel when a strand is pulled out, or when it breaks. This is super important in a Priestess circle but also applies when a 1-1 client commits to a 10 week program. I feel it. I KNOW when a client is wobbling, when they are feeling unstable, when they are struggling to integrate the work we are doing. I can only support folks who allow that support and I will support you if/when you reach out to say you're overwhelmed.

Connection calls are a simple way of holding a boundary.

Connection calls mean the humans who work with me know the expectations.

Connection calls/interviews mean safety.

Safety is the main goal. The transformations folks experience in working with me are deep and huge and cannot happen in a space where safety isn't a primary objective.

If you've been hesitant to work with me because of the Connection call, it's okay. I can understand why it might feel vulnerable or scary. It might help to remember that this call is For You as much as it is for me. You need to know you are going to enjoy working with me, that it’s going to be pleasurable for you, that you will feel safe and seen. You are making an investment in our connection and this call will confirm that for you. So schedule with me and let’s talk!
