I’m sensing a Vizzy D oodie as part of our merch range… 👻

Hi @Jen Blyth - there was a petition that made it to NSW State Parliament recently supported by our local Blue Mountains MP Trish Doyle - https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/papers/Pages/tabled-paper-details.aspx?pk=192782 - @Faye Woodward was part of the team leading it and could share more of the details/process/outcome if helpful. 🙏

@Johanna Risse Yesssss! So pleased you shared this - I'd forgotten their brilliance... this one is my fave! https://youtu.be/GBL5ogfFKcU?si=IZvIoCAEmUXnYMfA xx

@Johanna Risse Oh, this resonates so much! The overwhelm of possibility is real, and I think it's especially pronounced for those of us who work across the whole arc of life, because the work is genuinely connected. It all belongs together. But that doesn't mean you have to talk about all of it at once... For a long time, I considered having 2 online identities/websites - one for death/funerals - and one for weddings/babes/joyful stuff - I know a lot of celebrants & peers for whom this approach works well. But I ended up finding the separation harder to maintain - and ended up integrating all of it into one. But: I stopped trying to represent the full breadth of my work and started following my own energy. Where am I most lit up right now? What am I thinking about in the shower? That's the thread to pull. The rest of your work doesn't disappear just because you're not leading with it. The people who need you for a naming ceremony or a divorce ritual will find you through your whole body of work over time. Trust that. On the positioning question, I'd gently push back on the idea that you need one statement that covers everything. A positioning statement isn't your entire identity, it's a door. Different doors for different rooms. You might have one for death care spaces, one for your broader ceremonial work, and they can sit comfortably alongside each other without competing. The freeze is often about trying to say everything perfectly before saying anything at all. I'd encourage you to pick the one thing that's most alive for you right now, say something small and true about it, and let that be enough for today. The more niche the better. 🌻
