53 分钟Writing has shown me myself, and that is what draws me to the practice.
And when I started writing to heal and to explore and to be kind to myself and to be curious and to unpack and all those things that it can bring to our lives, the game, like, really changed for me.
And I remember thinking, like, here's a permission slip to tap into my truth, which is that I am worthy and I have always been worthy.
And years and years ago I did not think that.
And now today, I am deeply rooted in that.
So can you remember the last time you felt truly seen?
I'm talking about a moment when really every part of you, flaws, quirks and all, was accepted completely.
A time when you didn't have to pretend or perform or minimize yourself for the comfort of others.
When was the last time you truly felt free to express your deepest truth, your identity, without fear or hesitation?
Well, for many of us, those moments of radical self acceptance and vulnerability are pretty few and far in between.
We learn from a pretty early age to protect an image, to play a role, or conform to expectations.
And over time, we start to lose touch with our core essence, that authentic voice inside of us.
And in this week's episode, I had the honor of speaking with three inspiring women who have walked courageously down the path of self discovery.
Bestselling author and restorative writing teacher Alex L.
Meditation and mindfulness teacher Rosie Acosta and poet and author Arielle Astoria.
And each of them has really kind of peeled away the layers of conditioning and uncovered her truest self.
And their journeys have been profoundly personal, yet offer wisdom and light that is universal.
And together we explore questions like, what does it take to cut through the illusions and touch your deepest truths?
How do we let go of notions of who we should be and embrace who we actually are?
And can we find belonging not by fitting in, but by sharing our unique light?
