Learning to Accept What is…


Listen Later

Why are we harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else? Discover how to overcome the traumas in your life to discover your passionate purpose, learn how to move through the darkness and into the light and understand that the external pressures of society should not define the expectations of your future.
