In this episode of 'Even Here, Even Now,' I dive into one of my favorite concepts concept -- 'return to sender.' Tune in to hear me discuss how we receive and internalize harmful messages from oppressive societal systems over the course of our lives, and emphasize the importance of prioritizing our own needs and authenticity as we reject the messages that do not align with how we *want* to be living.

Highlighting the struggle of feeling guilt and shame in prioritizing self-care, I encourage you to recognize and send back toxic beliefs, advocating for a balanced life where self-nourishment supports sustained contributions to others.

Winter Camp is open! Join me for five weeks to reclaim yourself with weekly experiments, cozy craft-alongs, fireside sessions, and a community of excellent humans who get it. This isn't another obligation on your to-do list, it's permission to finally put yourself first without the guilt spiral. Doors close Friday, January 9th.
