On this week’s episode I want to give you some permission if you feel like you need it—

To be a whole human with needs, feelings, desires, and cares. To do what feels authentically right to you.

We’re plopped into a healthcare system that is specifically NOT set up for humans to be humans, and is designed for us to operate like machines.

And it takes a LOT of courage to stay true to ourselves and what we want and need when we’re also trying to stay safe— financially, emotionally, physically.

Sometimes it’s helpful to see and hear from others doing the same so we can see what’s possible for us.

Here’s this week’s episode, sharing a bit of permission to give yourself, some highlights from this season’s podcast if you want to peruse previous topics, and upcoming plans for what’s next.
