As the primaries wind down next month, we want to lay this topic over what we extracted from our past two episodes about our value and worth and how your own voice matters. And so, in honor of it being National Meditation Month, we want to meditate and ponder who we are as cocreators in this world. We'll look through our mind's eye at the impact that your interaction with the other souls in the world has or doesn't have on your personal choices, free will, personal power, and confidence in your ability to expand and live the life you came forth to live as sacred beings. This is especially important in the midst of many Americans debating and often worried about selecting who the political candidates will or won't be for the next presidential term.

Self-esteem issues are rampant and appear in all walks of life even for those who haven't experienced major setbacks or trauma or an emotional diagnosis.

As a result, many people develop low self-esteem and walk around with underlying complexes and self-reproach. To transcend this issue, Dr. Kemp shares the unveiling of a hopeful solution through a new Sacretherapy project called Ur2.Global. The project aims to uplift the global self-esteem of humanity. In so doing, she will converse with acclaimed motivational speaker and attorney Georgia Goslee, Esq., about how she maintained her sense of self-esteem despite strong odds.
