Have you ever sat alone with your mortality? Ever wondered how, when faced with the reality of our own fragility, we can still bask in self-love and joy? Join us, Brenda and Catherine, on a profound journey of self-discovery as we unpack our personal encounters with illness, aging, and mortality. By sharing our own stories and lessons learned, we hope to offer you a new perspective on desire, and gratitude, amidst life’s inevitable challenges. It's about finding a way to love ourselves despite, and because of, our imperfections. Getting older, facing illness, losing who we once were - these are all part of the human experience. We discuss how we can navigate these experiences with grace and grit, learning to accept our limitations and cherish our bodies as they are, flaws and all. We also touch on navigating the rocky terrain of grief, as we let go of who we once were and embrace who we are becoming. This is a conversation about the power of presence, of finding purpose and joy in the every day, and of not letting age or illness hinder our pursuit of a fulfilling life. We also explore the potency of self-love and acceptance. In a world that often seems obsessed with perfection, we remind you that you are enough, just as you are. We delve into the healing power of gratitude and the incredible joy that can be found in simple, everyday moments. Join us for a heartwarming, enlightening conversation about embracing desire, finding joy, and celebrating life, in spite of the challenges we face. We promise: this is a conversation you won't want to miss. We're here to tell you: You're not alone, and there's so much joy to be discovered, right here, right now. We'd love to hear from you.
