The Boss Is Out. The Facilitator Is In.
Dharma Talk // A Salima Nova Series
Usually shared before a yoga class, a dharma talk is a moment of reflection before movement. An inner light.
Everything around her is alive: the sessions, the meetups, the mission. Momentum is strong. The days are full. And yet, beneath it all, something in her begins to resist. My client Andrea is paying attention. She senses it clearly: what brought her here won't taker her there. The old structure feels too tight now. For years, her inner world ran like a start-up: a boss setting the tone, a worker getting it done. Efficient. Productive. But now that voice feels too rigid, too fast, too disconnected from the part of her that creates.
So during this week's session we paused. She invited two parts of herself into conversation: the one who knows how to move, and the one who knows when to stop. A new image appeared: Her in an artist’s studio. Light, space, tools, breath. Nothing rushed. And with it, a new inner guide: not a boss, a facilitator.
Someone who doesn’t command, but holds space. Someone who doesn’t push, but protects rhythm. Burnout doesn’t always come from too much work. Sometimes it comes from the way we speak to ourselves while working. Andrea is preparing her week like she would prepare a room with care, clarity, and time. She’s no longer performing her life. She’s beginning to inhabit it. And maybe you’re there too feeling the old pace dissolve, not because you’re losing drive, but because you’re ready for a different way of being. The boss is out. The facilitator is in. You are the artist. You are the creator. And you deserve a rhythm that breathes with you. Stay stellar. Let’s begin. — Salima
