As we navigate an increasingly busy modern world, we are bombarded by unspoken rules, mixed messages and unsolicited opinions from every direction - what we should look like, what we should wear, what car we should drive, what success should look like...
Through all of this, we forget to look inward:
We stop trusting ourselves.
We uncritically accept the narratives we are told.
We rely on external validation which demands more than we can ever give.
Sometimes, we need to take a step back and have a conversation with ourselves.
Only then can we see that we are living life for some undefined other, instead of for ourselves and our community.
This is where I come in.
I want to show you the way back to... YOU!
