#362: Heal Your Wounds & Reclaim Your Life Through Shadow Work w/ Violet Benson

﻿In this episode, I discuss anxiety as a signal for self-exploration, not an internal flaw.  I offer a sentence stem practice for us to walk through together – a tool to further embrace self-expression and use anxiety as a guide for personal growth. By reframing anxiety as a tool for empowerment we can begin to navigate challenges with strength and authenticity – fostering deeper connections and self-assurance.
