Have you ever had a total "aha!" moment about yourself in your forties that completely caught you off guard? Well, I just had one about my affinity for coats! Turns out, I’ve been collecting them since I was an adolescent, and I never even realized it! Today on The Art of Plenty, we're diving deep into the power of truly knowing yourself (even your quirky coat obsession!) and, just as importantly, being known by others. I'll share why self-knowledge leads to more authentic relationships and purpose, and how being seen by others (like my husband holding up a mirror to my negativity!) can be incredibly healing. Plus, I'm breaking down the different "layers" of relationships—from family roots to lifelong friends, community connections, and mentors—and giving you super practical tips on how to deepen each one. Because let's be real, you can't be who you're meant to be alone.
