What if every feeling—joy, sorrow, shame—was a guest sent to guide you home? In this episode, I share two soul-stirring poems by Rumi and invite you to a deeper level of acceptance, gratitude, and self-love.
Today, we’re welcoming every part of ourselves to the table. I read two poems by Rumi: “The Guest House” and “Rumi Pay Homage.” Both poems invite us to see every feeling, every experience, as a necessary visitor on the journey of being human.
Instead of running from hard emotions, what if you opened your door, met them with a laugh, and bowed to each one for helping you return to yourself? Imagine the freedom, gratitude, and self-love that would become possible if you truly lived this way.
I’ll walk you through the radical act of honoring your feelings—not resisting them, but embracing them with breath, presence, and compassion. This is the path of Fearless Living: letting every guest, every moment, help you enter the arms of life itself.
