So, I'm finally ready to share the big news I've been hinting at for a while now. It's been brewing for a while now. And it's come with WAAAAYYYY more big feelings of fear and grief and doubt than I could have anticipated. But even this part has been important. It's all preparing me for what's next.

Beginning the second week of April, Untaming the Wild will be going dormant. More than dormant. The business I've lovingly, passionately, and courageously cultivated for the past 10 years is being tenderly "put down". Sure, something could grow in its place, but for now, it's important that I let it go -- all the way.

Not because it's not working. In fact, it would be a LOT easier to make this decision if it weren't working. The truth is, I have one of the most successful (by all the metrics that matter to me) coaching practices of any one I know.

I work with the MOST stellar humans. I get to witness them as they do the MOST courageous work and completely transform their lives and the lives of those around them.

I don't work much at all, and the last several years have mostly felt like a spacious vacation. I've made more money than I ever thought possible, and more than anyone in my direct lineage has ever made. It has truly been the greatest joy and source of fulfillment. I literally got everything I'd ever dreamed of.

And......it's time for it to end. I can't tell you exactly why. I WISH I could. I wish I could tell MYSELF exactly why. I've been trying to come up with that answer for at least 5 months. I wish I could make it make linear, concrete sense. It doesn't. It's a risk. It bumps up against not only real-world practical edges, but MANY societal and cultural edges of work and what it is to live a 'meaningful' life.

Despite all that, here's what I do know.

Everything I've learned (and taught) to trust and follow and listen to has led me right here. It's all pointing in this direction. This direction being an unknown abyss.

My energy has shifted and it's heading in a new direction. What direction you might ask?!?! Well, more than anything friends, I would LOVE to be able to tell you that answer because it would mean that I have one. I don't. I don't know anything about what comes next. That's actually part of the point.

What I know is that I have to let go of everything I think I know, and everything I think is most precious, in order to get a glimpse of what's coming next. Gosh it sounds so elegant and wise when I see it written out like that. Trust me, it's felt anything but.

So, that's my big news. I plan to share a few more things this week about how you can stay in touch with me if you want to. Part of untangling all of this certainly relates to social media and our relationship to our devices. I simply no longer want to be part of trying to keep you on your phone longer. Period. (That's another conversation for another day.)

For now, if you KNOW you want to stay in touch and know what I'm up to, please just drop a cute emoji in the comments or send me an email (acole22@gmail.com). I'll probably do this via email or some other direct-to-you way.

OH -- ONE MORE THING!!! If you've worked with me in the past, or have always wanted to but never took the leap, you've got one more chance before I go full feral!

I'm offering a few single sessions between now and the first week of April. I have a couple left, so if you're interested, message me and I'll send you the details. Former clients to the front but anyone is welcome to request the information.

Thank you for reading this far, and thank you for being part of this miraculous journey of 10+ years.

If nothing else, I want to be a demonstration of what it's like to trust yourself -- no matter what. Besides STARTING my business 10 years ago, this is absolutely one of the hardest (and most exciting) things I've ever done. Thank you for being my witness.

Big love ❤ ❤ ❤
