Gloss Over: Since the Funk Episode…

April 13, 2019 By Caroline Trudeau Leave a Comment

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

A few weeks ago, I got real vulnerable with Meaghan on the Gloss Over Podcast about being in a funk.  As I listened to the episode once we published it on SoundCloud, I started to feel scared about what the response to my opening up about difficult topics of the like might be: what are people going to think?  When I hit the publish button on The Voices Collection, I knew there was no going back: I was putting a much different kind of voice out there than usual.

A couple weeks later, I am still generally funky: uncertain about my career’s next steps, feeling emptied of my usual creativity, a bit foggy and frankly looking forward to retuning to the US from my beloved Munich, where I have been for the last couple of weeks after a freelance assignment.

But I feel a shift in the tide: I’m back on the fitness tip, I am getting in a groove with the routine and I am generally staying off the booze and eating healthy.  Plus, the weather is starting to be encouraging, the days are longer and the energy of the universe is feeling more supportive.

What’s been most positive however, is actually what I was initially scared of…  I am grateful for those who have reached out to say: “Girl, I get it.  It happens to me too.  And I am here for you if you need to talk.  You are not alone.”

Once again, I have learned that putting myself our there in a vulnerable way has strengthened my connection to others.  We are all in this game of life together.  We can share our experiences, help each other out, hold each other accountable, inspire each other.

And that’s a beautiful thing.

Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. It is a Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. 

It is a project a very long time in the making. I had a suspicion I would eventually replace the carpet when at 27 years old, I set my mind (and all my savings) on winning the real estate bidding war on #300. 

I had no idea it would take me 17 years, 5 dogs, several Friendsgivings, countless parties, 6 jobs, a global pandemic and all the beautiful messes we made along the way to get here. 

I wanted to bring #Europe to #Reston with a herringbone wood floor. Then, I realized the impracticality and rarity of this gorgeous craft in #America. It made no sense to invest in it for The Club. 

Finally, it was this engineered wood called Seaside I selected. I knew I made the right decision when I turned the sample around and saw its country of origin: #Germany 🖤❤️💛. 

It’s even better than I had imagined. 

You are invited. Bring your favorite socks and dance jam.  #letsdance
