Ambition can be a coping mechanism. Many of us were taught to achieve our way into worthiness, to produce our way into safety. So we become leaders, healers, entrepreneurs, top students—pushing ourselves to excel while abandoning our own bodies and inner child in the process.

And our work invites people to finally exhale, feel again, and begin the sacred undoing of everything they thought they had to be.
