In this episode of The Growth Invitation, I’m joined by artist and creator Mingxi for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about what it truly means to reconnect with yourself after a period of emotional pain, conditioning, and identity loss.

We explore:

✨ the importance of validating your own feelings

✨ how anger, resentment, and cultural conditioning can block your inner freedom

✨ rebuilding self-trust and finding peace after emotional upheaval

✨ the feminine–masculine imbalance many women experience

✨ what long-lasting happiness feels like beneath instant gratification

✨ the slow, non-linear journey of returning to your true essence

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are becoming, this conversation offers warmth, perspective, and possibility.
