No Wrong Notes with Veronica Kokas

Valentine's Day is coming up, and I figured that this week was as good as any to talk about what self love is vs what it isn't. I get into what real self-love looks like---and spoiler alert, but it ain't always pretty! We talk about inner work/shadow work, and why doing inner work translates to better singing. Enjoy!
