Labels are damaging. I didn't
Labels are damaging.
I didn't speak to my father for 25 years due to the violence that manifested from his experience with schizophrenia. When I did reconnect with him, I thought of him as crazy.
Sure, he had done a lot of things to earn that title like dragging his colostomy bag through the grocery store - and, it was all I could see. Everything he said and did was through my lens of crazy. Even the "normal" stuff I would talk to anyone about I considered crazy.
I was looking for crazy.
I needed to validate my fears. I needed to put him in a box to feel like there was some sense of control. I needed to feel safe and it created a barrier between us. Perhaps I even needed to justify my choice of not talking to him for 25 years.
I don't really know why. What I do know is that it created a barrier between us. It did not allow me to truly see him.
When I put that label of crazy aside, I got to truly see and connect with my father. That is a gift I will always treasure.

//ABOUT JESSICA ZEMPLE//
I am a transformational coach, storyteller, speaker, filmmaker, and shucker. Shucking is my metaphor for life coaching - and life. We are all magnificent pearls created through the grit of our life. We have shells around our pearls that we close in times of fear. At some point, the shell becomes restricting and needs to be shucked open, with love, so your pearl can shine!
I have overcome A LOT of grit in my life from growing up in an abusive home due to a parent experiencing schizophrenia, helicoptered off of the mountains of Nepal due to a traumatic brain injury, and caring 24/7 for her former partner through a healing from stage 4 cancer. Each of these challenging, life changing experiences has made me stronger, more compassionate, more loving, and helped my pearl sparkle even more through years of healing modalities. I found yoga, meditation, the Hoffman Process, and even earned my masters in Spiritual Psychology.
This is what I want to do for YOU - help you transform your grit in to a pearl to shine even more with pearls of wisdom and life skills you can apply to your life immediately to make the changes you desire.
