You can’t go over it. You can’t go under it. You have to go through it.
n this honest and grounded CreativeMornings Toowoomba talk, local yoga studio owner Amy Pattison shares a raw and moving reflection on what growth really asks of us. With tenderness and courage, she traces the patterns of her early life and the inner reckonings that shaped her path. Drawing on the familiar children’s book line — “Can’t go over it, can’t go under it, have to go through it” — Amy reminds us that growth isn’t always graceful, but it is always possible. A talk about embodiment, reckoning, and what it really means to show up — for yourself and for others.
About the speaker
Amy is a lover of words between people (even when they come out jumbled and sideways), strong tea with milk, and all the little details.
Raising a family and building a business from scratch in her hometown has helped to shape her life approach: she leads with curiosity, holds space with compassion, regularly laughs at herself and knows that family runs deeper than a blood connection. As a mother, wife, friend, yoga teacher and mentor, she has a deep belief in the power of continuously showing up - for ourselves, and for each other.
This November, she walks us through a very real landscape of growth; one that asks all of us to just keep going, even when the path disappears beneath our feet.
