Our personal and collective experiences—past and present—shape how we feel inside ourselves, how we relate to others, and how easily we can access calm, connection, and self-compassion. At times, we try to protect ourselves or those we love by avoiding pain, fear, sadness, or anger. When…

Change and growth can be scary, but they are easier when we feel empowered and supported.
