Less them. More you.

The truth is rarely convenient.

It’s messy
‘Inappropriate’
And most of the time told to sod off until further notice.

It’s no wonder we’re in a constant state of confusion when all we keep being taught is to swallow down the very thing that makes us who we are.

Our truth.

I thought I was living my truth for a long time. I was practising yoga, wearing Mala beads, pretending like I loved Kirtan as I quaffed at how ‘woke’ I was.

But after the initial shift, nothing changed.

I didn’t feel more like me. I felt more like someone pretending to be them.

Who I really was and how I really felt was ironically too much for the world that proclaims it ‘accepts you for who you are’.

My swearing wasn’t holy.
My past too outrageous.
My opinions to outspoken.

(I mean maybe if I’d been wearing elephant harems I would have gone down better? lols.)

This is why I created The Collaborative. With its many wild and wonderful ways of holding your life.

You see we DGAF whether you practice 16 times a day, froth on chanting and fast on turmeric juice if it isn’t what you actually WANT to do.

It doesn’t impress us ( okay the turmeric juice bit does)

Your truth does.

We wanna see you unapologetically DO YOU BOO.

We wanna see all the ugly cries.
Outspoken voices.
Fragile hearts.
INSANE dreams.
Uncollected thoughts.
Outrageous stories.
Deep pain.
And all naughty lols.

We want to see you.
All of you.
Not just the pretty polite parts.
Every damn inch.

Your truth is welcome here.
You are welcome here ❤️
