In this episode I share about healing through being seen by ourselves first, therefore, healing as a collective. I have come to learn that sometimes the things we long for the most are often the things we resist the most, like being seen.  As a person who was constantly bullied, I received that as rejection and the hardest thing is being rejected while being yourself. So naturally, it felt safe not to be seen. In this episode, I share what it means for me to be seen.  I know now that you...

It must be that the synonym for Peace is Boundaries The way I see it boundaries help with simplifying our lives and therefore grants us peace of mind. I never knew that asking for peace would mean setting boundaries, not only the easier ones that would not cause any discomfort but more so those ones.
