The Right Now Project launches! Softly.

Day I. Kind of officially, but not.

We—meaning the podcast and the membership site—officially launch mid-October.

In these pages I’m going to be discussing the process, my process of creating this new podcast.

I've never really done this before and I suppose it aint all going to be pretty and certainly not perfect.

There’s a freedom associated with doing it this way, well because it’s just me.

Yes, on the podcast I’m going to be interviewing Right Now Project members, but I’m not going to be interviewing guests like I do on the other podcast, The Trauma Therapist | Podcast.

What’s driving this endeavor, The Right Now Project?

It’s simple and I will tell you:

The realization that who we are—our authentic self, the ups and downs of us, those facets we forever keep from the world, as well as our proudest parts—not only valuable and perfect and incredible, but so very needed in this world.

And also, that our realization of our own worth, is the foundation of our healing.

That’s it.

A bit wordy? Maybe. I’ve got to tighten it up a bit.

But that’s it, really. That’s what’s driving me.

The thing is though that this process of realization isn’t easy. Simple, yes, but not easy.

Why?

Because it requires that we look at ourselves. That we look inward and explore and read the story of our lives and we know that there’s probably a lot in that story that either we simply don’t want to look at or we’d just rather wish would go away.

This, however, is the process we need to take on in order to heal.

This is also the process required of therapists so that they can work from the point of their full humanbeingness rather than from a place of wanting—or needing—to fix and help and cure and take away the pain.

Let me just say this before I close here: I don’t have it all figured out.

What I will say is that I’m on a mission though to allow myself and my vulnerability and my imperfections and incredibleness to come forth.

It isn’t easy. It isn’t pretty.

But it is invigorating.

And I hope you’ll join me.
