Free Yourself To BE Yourself

WITH JOAN “RAVEN” FRIEDLANDER

Welcome to This Raven’s View

For so many years I tried to be one thing, to declare my ‘one place’ in the world, but this is not how this being rolls as it turns out. I learn what interests or serves me, teach or share what I’ve learned, and at some point I move on, the information internalized and integrated.

Professionally speaking, I’ve been a bookstore manager and trainer, a personal budget consultant, a human design project partner and guide, a web show co-host, a business coach, a writer and published author. I’ve kicked Crohn’s disease, a gross, debilitating and painful intestinal illness, now 19 years in remission.

This is the call of our times, to be unashamedly and boldly YOU.
Whatever has been buried is coming to the surface for reconciliation.
This is the opportunity and invitation.

Are You Ready to Shed a Few Shoulds?

I’m not talking about the rules that help keep us safe – OK, maybe I’m talking about some of them, too. I’m talking about the many constraints that we place on ourselves – and others – when it comes to how we run our lives and businesses, who and when we love, and what we can and can’t do when we reach a “certain age,” etc.

It’s easy to get caught up in a frenetic search for quick-fix solutions to what ails you and to fix what you think is broken. We’re doing something different here. This is about unburdening you from the constant fixing, searching and striving.

Only the particular circumstances of your situation give you lesser or greater apparent freedom to impact your situation.
