It's rare I go this long without emailing ye any more. Some of ye may be thinking it's rare ye get a break at all these days (if that's you, there's a button to unsubscribe down below, seriously, you won't offend me!)

But I needed the rest.

And I'm coming back feeling more energetic, with more ideas and more thoughts than usual. Want to more know?

​

• Developing some new ideas around Brigid's Path to make it more affordable and available to people
• Working on the book (I know, I swear, it's still underway!!)
• Developing the framework for the support group I've mentioned before and how to keep it safe and useful
• Thinking up some new workshop ideas (feel free to email me about this)
• And working on some stuff for the engineering side as well.

And of course, catching up on some very scary world affairs, working on building back up my morning and evening routines to build my own resilience and working on my physical health.

I know some of ye are confused by the high control religion series I've been writing over the last few months. I get it. But it's a really important topic and not enough women get the support they need after their initial needs are met. And by initial needs, I mean a roof over their head and food in their bellies and clothes on their backs. Very often they are left to struggle to re-integrate into society after this massive, huge upheaval. And the supports they used to depend on, their spirituality, their structure, their community, are no longer there.

So it's important to offer some support beyond the physical. And I'm not talking just therapy - although that is hugely important. And coaching isn't a replacement for therapy. In fact, I have in the past directed people towards therapy rather than coaching because their money is better spent there. I'm very aware of my lack of clinical qualifications, training, etc.

But still...

It's so easy to get lost.

So, at the very least, if I'm writing about it, it might raise a bit of awareness. It might lead you to question your own relationship with the religion of your birth and/or your spiritual path. But you might be 100% comfortable with it - I hope you are, to be honest!

For those who are thinking about their spiritual path, I've opened my calendar for the coming 10 days ish (well ok, it's the end of the month!), to allow you to book a 30min call with me to see if there is something you'd like to chat about. You can book that here: https://calendly.com/orlaghmairecostello/30min​

But now, I'm back to development and work.

Oh, and if anyone wants to light a candle for me at 2:30 on Friday (Irish time), I'm presenting my research proposal for a professional doctorate in University of Limerick and I can do with all the help I can get!
