Lydia Willems, a seasoned psychotherapist and transformational coach for over two decades, joins us on our latest episode. She shares four feelings that show up within most of us:

We discuss how everything starts with awareness and connection to self.

Tapping into transformational change, and why therapy with someone you connect well with is important to your healing journey.
