You care. You care about nature. You care about our Earth. You care about others. You want to make a bigger difference. But you’re exhausted, something is not working….
Coaching for Earth Carers
For those who care deeply about the Earth and its ecosystems, I hold a special place in my heart and in my coaching! 💚Whether you work to support life on Earth and protect it from harm in science, politics, education, conservation or climate activism or whether you don’t do this for your job but you try your best in any way you can, even just at home. I see you. I feel you. And I care.
“Maryse is an excellent coach, and one I’d recommend to all environmentalists, though her skills are not limited to those in the field. It’s always challenging to find someone to talk to who has shared values and an appreciation for connecting with each other through Country, however, this is something Maryse has in spades. In just 5 weeks, through her compassion and guidance, Maryse helped me to break free of my limiting thoughts and embark on a journey of abundance. If you are feeling stuck or at a fork in the road, seriously consider investing in yourself with Touched by Nature.” (Jessie, VIC, Australia)
I have spoken with many women who work in the field and the most named challenge is stress and burnout (long hours, low pay, not feeling valued or taken seriously), quickly followed by struggling to stay positive. Feelings of powerlessness, loneliness and guilt are also very common.
I have also spoken with a lot of people who don’t work in the field but do their best to do the right thing, eg recycle their waste, install solar panels, use refillable cups and bottles or talk to their neighbours to name a few things.
Whether you work in the field or not, a lot of you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You feel a great responsibility to contribute to real change, but often powerless to do so. And you may feel guilty every time you take an imperfect action, such as forgetting to bring your own coffee mug…while it appears that hardly anyone else seems to care! It can feel very lonely… But trust me, you are definitely not alone in these kind of experiences!
You are in survival mode all the time …
You are constantly aware of the crisis that is unfolding on our planet, which is so much bigger then you, and so you find it difficult to keep boundaries to protect your own well-being. And so you keep showing up, but inside the candle is burning up ….
Top 5 Challenges for Earth Carers:
- Stress and Burnout
- Struggling to Stay Positive
- Feelings of Powerlessness
- Feelings of Loneliness
- Feelings of Guilt
Oftentimes, when you experience a lot of ongoing stress like this, it can cause new or exacerbate existing chronic conditions that make it even more difficult for you to function and bring your mission to life in this world. You may struggle with chronic shoulder tension and headaches, lower back pain, anxiety, depression and burn out just to name a few.
From Fear for the Planet to Fierce for the Planet
The Earth needs people like you who are passionate about making a difference. And I am passionate about supporting you in creating a better experience in your work and in your life, without sacrificing yourself. I am passionate about empowering you to move out of survival mode into a place where you can operate with renewed inspiration, energy and purpose. I am passionate about coaching you to create a bigger impact as an Earth Carer in a way that is sustainable for you.
May I invite you to try and picture what this would look like if you had a magic wand? How would your life be different? What kind of impact would you be having?
Let’s talk about it in a Complimentary Discovery Session!
While you work towards a sustainable future for nature, remember to let it sustain you in return
As you are an Earth Carer it would be easy for me to assume that you have a deep connection with nature. After all, you put so much energy in caring for and protecting it! However, it turns out that many of you reach a point in their lives where they have forgotten how important it is to nurture this connection on a daily basis. You may be so focused on doing the science, creating the policies, fighting to protect … or whatever it is that you are doing, that you don’t give yourself the time to daily connect, to deeply enjoy and to reap all the benefits from Nature Connection for your physical and mental health.
Do you Deeply Connect with Nature on a Daily Basis?
Just to remind you, these benefits include
- a boost in your immune system
- a drop in stress hormones like cortisol
- increased relaxation of the nervous system
- more positive thoughts and emotions
- more clarity in thinking
- increased capacity for problem solving and creative thinking
- and a feeling of being connected to something bigger then yourself, just to name a few!
So, if you are feeling stressed, stuck, worried, hopeless or overwhelmed …. can I invite you to remind yourself to connect with what it is that you are working so hard to protect and to let it sustain you in return?
You can find some simple tips to get you going in my free taster course Nature’s Touch and if you’d like to go into this deeper then please check out my Touched by Nature Course! Your daily connection with nature is going to create the foundation of your well-being upon which you will be able to build your transformation! 💚🦋
