Background image is the same for all slides and will not be repeated. A white, fluffy mountain goat picks their way down what might, from a distance, appear to be a sheer rock face. Their small hooves manage to find the outcroppings. A beige banner over the top carries bold, black text that reads, "A Theme for 2025." The same color and style of bonner below hold text that reads, "Be Nimble." At the bottom of every slide, a beige banner holds text that reads "@TheGenderDoula | www.TheGenderDoula.com"
Text reads: "Why this? In 2024, the trancestors told me that the theme would be resourcing. You can look back at all the ways I explored that theme, and even access my evergreen workshop on the topic (available rn, sliding scale). This year, I figured we would need resourcing more than ever before. But when I asked the transcestors what the theme for 2025 would be, they told me: Be Nimble."
Text reads: What do I mean? The good old Oxford dictionary defines “nimble” in the following ways: quick and light in motion: agile marked by quick, alert, clever conception, comprehension, or resourcefulness responsive, sensitive To me, nimbleness means meeting the situation as it comes, being willing (and able) to shift fast, with little warning.
Text reads: Nimbleness and Resourcing. Resourcing, the 2024 theme, is crucial for being nimble. As a skill set, it is the backbone of the work that we all need to do together in 2025. As a reminder, this is how I define resourcing: “At its most basic, resourcing is finding ways to give our whole selves what we need to function well and not be in deficit.” When you’re well resourced, even when nimbleness is not your usual state, you’re much more able to access it when needed.
