I was a practicing optometrist for many years, and I was a practicing optometrist for many years, and in so many ways, the primary role I played at work was of an active listener!
While working, I was always surprised by how much people needed to feel heard. I knew this because as I went to the sink to wash my hands and worked to prepare the equipment, they would tell me stories about their aging mothers, rebellious teenagers, etc. Active listening was one of my favorite parts of my job. I enjoyed being there for my patients and building a sense of trust.
So I decided to research why listening matters and how it benefits the listener and the talker. Here’s what I found: [CLICK ON THE LINK IN MY PROFILE TO READ MORE]

Motherhood can feel so daunting. And, even worse, Motherhood can feel so daunting. And, even worse, I've found women don't often speak openly about what they're really going through.
Sometimes the stories are really tough, but I'm finding often there are big lessons learned that may benefit others when shared.

Here's a bit about my story, and why I was inspired to start this blog.

Clear Connections: Holding Space I recently watch Clear Connections: Holding Space

I recently watched one friend hold space for another, and it prompted me to revisit this piece.

Here are some of the main points:

• Holding space for someone is a way of offering one's full attention without judgment.
• Listening from the heart is an integral part of holding space - it involves not just the ears but the heart.
• A person in this role allows another to figure out answers on their own and refrains from giving unwanted advice.
• Holding space requires mindfulness and self-awareness, including being able to hold space for oneself first.
• Strengthening one's vibration with loving-kindness meditation may help access the heart space necessary for holding space.
