💥 Introduce Yourself 💥 (Erin Jean Warde)

Let’s get this chaos party started with some INTRODUCTIONS.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Hello friends,

Let’s get this chaos party started with some INTRODUCTIONS.

For years, I have wanted to get to know y’all better… so please humor me by telling me a little bit about yourself! I’m opening this up to the wholeeeee community, because I want to hear from anyone who’d like to share. <3

THINGS I’M CURIOUS ABOUT

(no pressure, tell me whatever you’d like, but here are some questions to inspire you…)

💥 Your name (what you like to be called!)

💥 Pronouns if you’re comfortable

💥 What do you do for fun? I always feel like I need more hobbies & would love to be inspired by you

💥 Do you have any pets? Because obviously I want to know all about your pets

💥 Do you have a memory of a time when you felt deep peace amidst the chaos? What was that like for you? What was going on?

💥 What’s your chaos in life right now? What parts are good chaos & what parts are hard chaos? (Again, no pressure <3)

💥 Anything else you’d like to share with all of us! (Plz note: this is a public post, so don’t share anything you wouldn’t share publicly. <3)

I can’t wait to get to know you. I’ll be reading along & look forward to chatting with you in the comments!

With love & care,
EJW (your Chaos Chaplain <3)

PS: While most discussion threads will be for the paid community, I’ll also be sharing them every now & again for everyone, so stay tuned. AND every single post has a comments section, so you’re always welcomed & encouraged to say hello in the comments or message me directly by replying to this message in your inbox… like truly, I’d always love to hear from you. All of y’all are the community & every time I hear from you I’m thrilled! <3

Welcome to CHAOS LAND

It’s Chaos Land, because it’s a place where we love you for your chaos, not despite it.

Because your chaos is real. It is your life. It is my life, too.

We also might love our chaos — chaos can be fun! — so we get to celebrate our chaos, too.

We get to honor the complexities of who we are, mind, body, and soul. Some of that will be fun, some of that will be hard, some of that will need grounding, and some of our chaos might even be invitational.

What if we embraced it? Or at least leaned into it?

What if embracing our chaos within community helped us navigate it better than thinking we could “fix it”?

What if you could hurl things into the main, to receive love, compassion, and maybe most importantly: laughter, in return?

Coaching

As the new academic year starts, there’s just a LOT going on, a marked uptick after what might have felt like relaxing summer months. If you’re moving into this fall semester and hoping to change your relationship with alcohol, I’d love to work with you as your recovery coach. This is for anyone who wants to change their relationship with alcohol, whether that’s cutting back, quitting completely, or maintaining sobriety.

Not wanting to focus specifically on alcohol, but want support finding positive coping tools? Feeling stuck in habits you’d like to change? I’d love to support you as you find great coping tools. <3

Spiritual Direction

If you’re seeking long term spiritual support, I’d love to hold space for you as your spiritual director. Supporting people in their spiritual lives is one of the deep joys of my life. I have supported people spiritually through deconstruction, daily life, seminary, grief, the big questions of life, the ordination process, sobriety, and more. I’m also LGBTQIA+ inclusive. If you’re hoping for a companion along the way, I’d love to be a companion to you, as your spiritual director.

COACHING SALE

And, if you sign up for a package between now and September 6, you’ll get 5 sessions in your package instead of 4. My way of trying to help you kick start this academic year with some support!

And if you have ANY questions about my offerings, please just reply, I’d love to hear from you! I’d like to figure out a way to remove barriers as much as I can, so don’t be afraid to reach out. <3
