This is a VERY special episode! I’m excited to kick off the beginning of my new series “The Conversation” where I speak with healers, advocates and friends to discuss ways we can deepen our healing and connection to self, others, and the Earth that holds us. This episode features the lovely Aria Z Young as we dive into how coming back to ourselves, to our hearts, to love is the answer for both personal and collective healing. Aria has a wealth of wisdom and has been such an inspiration for me on this healing journey. I encourage you to listen through the entire episode and follow Aria’s work.
