Today's episode is for the part of you that's tired of always being on edge… of constantly anticipating the worst… of calling it "preparedness" when it's really just fear wearing a mask.
Can we take just a couple of minutes to talk about fear on this episode of The Podcast? This isn't on the list of anyone's favorite topics, but it is something we all have to confront. Check out the video version of this episode. I shared a whole series of messages called “Do Not Be Afraid” which you can check out here.

This is a preview of a premium episode. To hear the full episode, head to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/astro-teller-and-ivo-stivoric-why When a company talks about taking a “moonshot,” it often ends up being something trivial: a new emoji keyboard, or delivering a pizza in less than 30 minutes. But at X, the Moonshot Factory, which is part of Google, they're tackling some of the world's thorniest problems: sustainably feeding the world's population, climate change, education, and much more. Today we're speaking with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, and Ivo Stivoric, Vice President at X. Astro has a PhD in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon and wrote a prophetic 1997 novel about AI called Exegesis. He's the grandson of Edward Teller of Manhattan Project fame, but his own legacy is built on creating protected spaces where multidisciplinary teams can tackle humanity's biggest challenges—from self-driving cars to internet access delivered by balloons. Ivo leads a portfolio focused on climate, sustainability, and social justice. A designer by training who cut his teeth in the early days of wearable computing at Carnegie Mellon's Engineering Design Research Center, Ivo brings a unique perspective on bridging human needs with breakthrough technology. Together with Astro, he co-founded BodyMedia, one of the pioneering companies in wearable health monitors, which was later acquired by Jawbone. We chat with Astro and Ivo about how they've maintained one of tech's longest creative partnerships, why moonshots require unlearning everything you know about building products, and how they're using their "moonshot factory" push the boundaries of what's possible when you combine emerging technology with empathy for human needs.

In this episode, we're diving into the powerful ways our beliefs, stories, and emotions shape our lives and businesses. Stories are more than just events; they're teachers that guide how we learn, grow, and see ourselves in the world. Yet sometimes the narratives we've inherited—especially around money, success, and what's possible—leave us feeling small, bitter, and even powerless. Unlearning these old, restrictive stories isn't always easy, but being acknowledged for the truth of who we are—and choosing to write new stories—opens us to feeling deeply connected to our purpose, our community, and the flow of abundance. From that place, we can step into a more prosperous way of living and leading. In today's solo episode, I share: - How stories shape the way we learn, grow, and connect with deeper wisdom. - Why letting go of limiting beliefs is so challenging—and why it's the key to empowerment. - The ways women are often guided by societal rules that restrict financial freedom. - Why embracing emotions transforms them into a powerful force in both business and life.

Jason grew up in a Korean American home, shaped early by Jehovah's Witness teachings and a deep fear of dying without God. As a teen he encountered the love of Jesus at a youth retreat, then years later, in the middle of a college party, Jesus met him again and broke chains of drugs, shame, and depression. Jason was then called into ministry and now pastors youth, witnessing healing, deliverance, and revival. This is a story of the Father's heart, and the God who would rather be with us in our mess than without us at all.Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast ⇨ https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast ⇨ https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Connect with JasonEmail ⇨ pastorjason@hopemd.churchWebsite ⇨ https://www.gracereformationministry.org/Church Website ⇨ https://hopemd.church/Credits:Testimony by Jason ChoiDirected by Eric Villatoro Interviewed by Eric Villatoro Edited By Darvin RamirezAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Testimony Recorded in Gaithersburg, MarylandDelafé Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return.

Hey friend, Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels, working harder, not smarter? Like you're missing something, some secret sauce that others seem to have? I get it. It's a brutal, lonely feeling. But what if I told you the missing piece isn't another tactic, another course, another "hack"? What if it's you? I recently chatted with Christy Civilier, a top performer in tech sales for three decades. She hit a wall, the kind that makes you question everything. She didn't need more skills; she needed an identity shift. Christy's story is a gut punch of raw honesty – the hustle, the burnout, the realization that success wasn't about more, but about becoming more. Sound familiar? Here's what she uncovered: Unlearning the hustle: Success isn't about grinding harder. It's about aligning your energy with your authentic self. Reprogramming limiting beliefs: Christy actively worked on unlearning the belief that she had to *earn* abundance, shifting to the understanding that she *is* abundance. Embracing the "spirit of the deal": It's not just about closing deals; it's about serving others and embodying your ideal self. The power of visualization: Christy's success wasn't accidental. She visualized her goals, embodying them daily – even before she knew what visualization was! Christy's "Be It Now" method helps high-achievers like you identify limiting beliefs, craft a powerful life script, and truly embody the future version of themselves. The result? More ease, more abundance, and a life that feels aligned, instead of exhausting. Ready to ditch the grind and step into your power?
Episode VBB 344 features Certified Mental Health and Trauma Recovery Life Coach Teresa Ford. Her story samples her life journey as a child raised by emotionally immature and emotionally unavailable parents who left her unprepared to live an empowered life. Ironically, it was the death of a parent — her mother — that triggered Teresa to explore the keys to healing from generational trauma. On her personal journey, Teresa learned to dismantle codependency, parentification, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, emotional abandonment, and debilitating people pleasing. Teresa now coaches women on taking an intentional stand against playing small, dimming their light, or waiting for permission to thrive and to embrace the fullest expression of their power and purpose. https://www.teresaford.life/about

If you keep identifying as the woman who struggles, you'll stay stuck in that struggle. Topics Discussed Identity and subconscious patterns in infertility Why control and overdoing sabotage fertility Nervous system regulation and daily triggers Emotional spirals, jealousy, and comparison Radical responsibility in breaking fertility patterns Consistency in the practices that create lasting change You're not infertile, you're dealing with a fertility issue and deeper patterns of control, fear, and self-worth. Hello, beautiful souls. Today, we're cracking open one of the juiciest truths I wish I had known earlier in my fertility and motherhood journey: who you believe yourself to be might actually be what's keeping you stuck. When your identity is wrapped up in “the woman who struggles to conceive,” you unconsciously broadcast that story again and again, and your body follows suit. This episode isn't about doing more—more diets, more protocols, more supplements. It's about the radical shift that happens when you stop identifying with the struggle and start collapsing old patterns. From spiraling over triggers to reaching for numbing tools like wine, scrolling, or endless Googling, I'm giving you real talk on how to unhook from the stories that are stealing your energy. Think of it like finally cleaning out the emotional junk drawer—you don't need another gadget, you need to stop digging in the same clutter. If you're tired of living in cycles of burnout, control freak spirals, and constant “not enoughness,” this is your wake-up call. You don't have to be defined by a diagnosis, a failed round, or a past identity. Press play and let's get you into the frequency of the woman who trusts her body, holds her boundaries, and stops replaying the same old tape. Lasting change doesn't come from doing more; it comes from dissolving the parts of you that no longer serve who you're becoming. Timestamps 01:20 Understanding when your identity keeps you stuck in infertility. 03:20 Triggers, spirals, and how to break old narratives that you identify with during your journey. 07:20 How to shift your mindset and choose a new story instead of numbing patterns. 15:03 The importance of letting go of control patterns and being consistent in creating lasting change. 20:3 Unlearning people pleasing, high-achieving, and fertility burnout to rewrite your identity. 27:05 The power of healing and unhooking from identity to become a conscious mama. How you do one thing is how you do everything—your fertility journey is showing you the patterns that need to shift for life.

In Unlearning the Hush: Oral Histories of Black Female Educators in Mississippi in the Civil Rights Era (University of Illinois Press, 2025), Dr. Marlee Bunch shared her research on Black female educators in Mississippi during the Civil Rights era and discussed how their experiences and wisdom continue to inform contemporary teaching practices and diversity initiatives. The conversation explored the importance of preserving and unearthing hidden histories through various forms of cultural expression, while examining the role of educators in creating inclusive learning environments. Marlee's work extends to her teaching philosophy and upcoming projects, including a National Academy of Education postdoc award project that will expand her oral history research to include Black male educators and explore the power of storytelling across generations. Despite significant challenges and powerful opposition, Black female teachers stood at the forefront of advocating for and providing education to Black students. Their dedication not only improved opportunities for Black communities but also influenced changes in U.S. laws and societal expectations. Bunch draws on a rich fund of oral histories to reveal the interior lives of Black female educators who taught before and after desegregation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In their own voices, these women detail the hurdles they faced guiding students through Jim Crow laws and Civil Rights-era desegregation. Bunch unearths the personal stories of teaching and activism during a historic time that included the Brown v. Board of Education decision and whites' massive resistance to desegregation. The educators explain the importance of the Black community and Black homes while discussing their part in priming students for success and creating community cohesion. In addition, Bunch looks at the legacies of Black educators and the work still to be done. A section of images and poetry compliments the text. Inspiring and immersive, Unlearning the Hush combines memory with Civil Rights history to document Black women's role in education during a tumultuous time. Bunch is an interdisciplinary educator, scholar, author, and preserver of oral histories dedicated to illuminating untold stories and fostering human-centered, inclusive learning spaces. With over a decade of teaching experience across secondary and post-secondary classrooms, she has consistently championed equitable, rigorous, and reflective education that honors the lived experiences of students and educators alike. A passionate advocate for justice-centered education, Bunch earned her doctoral degree in Education, Policy, Organization, and Leadership with an emphasis in Diversity and Equity from the University of Illinois. She also holds an M.Ed. in Secondary Education from DePaul University, an M.S. in Gifted Education, and an ESL certification — a testament to her commitment to meeting the diverse needs of learners. She is a National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellow. At the heart of Bunch's work is the belief that history and storytelling hold transformative power. Her research centers on the oral histories of Black female educators in Mississippi who taught during the Civil Rights era (1954–1970), preserving their narratives as both historical record and source of contemporary wisdom. Through this work, she invites reflection on resistance and the enduring importance of educators as community leaders and cultural stewards.Her other publications include The Magnitude of Us (Teachers College Press, 2024), and Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning: Culturally Responsive and Social-Emotional Classroom Practice in Grades 6-12, co-authored with Brittany R. Collins (Routledge, 2025). Whether through scholarship, storytelling, or advocacy, Bunch continues to elevate voices too often left at the margins, reminding us that the most meaningful learning happens when we center humanity, history, and hope.

Along the way, they share the freeing truth that salvation rests on Christ's merits, not ours.

What does it mean to ‘know' something, and what does it mean specifically when stated by a scientist? What is the role of debate in driving scientific progress, and how does progress get built on the bones of science that we later find to be incorrect?James C. Zimring is a professor of pathology and immunology at the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia and also an author. His latest books are What Science Is and How It Really Works and Partial Truths: How Fractions Distort Our Thinking.Greg and James discuss the complex nature of scientific thinking and the philosophical underpinnings of scientific practices. James emphasizes the discrepancies between the idealized version of science and its messy reality. They explore the critical distinction between phenomena and theoretical claims, the social constructs within scientific methodology, and the importance of understanding what it means when scientists claim to 'know' something.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What science is and isn't03:18: My goal here was really to try and provide non-scientists with, as you pointed out, a more realistic assessment of what science is and what it means when a scientist says they know something. Because the hyperbole around scientific claims, although exciting, right, has also destroyed a lot of scientific credibility. The best way to lose credibility is to make a claim that you cannot possibly live up to. And at the same time, science is epistemically distinct. When a scientist says they know something, it means something different than other knowledge claims in other areas of thought. I am not a scientific imperialist. It does not mean something better, but it really means something different. And the failure, I think, to make that distinction is very damaging to how we navigate the world.Science is not about being right14:14: Science is not about being right. Science is about getting closer and closer to rightness. But scientists, we try to kill theories. That is what we do.Science is messy and sloppy1:00:45: Science is messy and sloppy, and this is what it means when a scientist says they know something, and it is very different from when anyone else says they know something. But it is quite different from what, historically, we say it means.Why is common sense thinking toxic to scientific progress?23:48: Common sense thinking is toxic to scientific progress because things that are common sense are often wrong. I mean, they are really helpful if you are wandering around the savanna trying to survive as a nomadic human. But when you are in the laboratory studying science, those things that work so well on the savanna are categorically incorrect. Unlearning millions of years of evolution of cognitive psychology is part of what it is to be a scientist, as you point, learning that we do not observe causality, learning that there are these confounders, learning that common sense things that are obvious may not be, is a large part of the scientific enterprise. And that is where it differs from what you are talking about—normal everyday thinking, especially statistics and other things.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas KuhnRichard FeynmanKarl PopperA.

Unlearning Religion - God-Shaped Hole There is a unique relationship between the gospel and what we have, what we want, what we need, and what we think we need. Let’s face it, money can make people do weird things. What we do with money and what it does to us can be life-giving or life-robbing. When we allow the gospel to define our material desires we then view ourselves as infinitely loved, infinitely treasured, and infinitely secure.
Series: Unlearning Self-Help — 5 Lies and the Truth That Sets You Free ⸻ Hustle culture says your worth is tied to how much you produce. God says your value is found in Him — and He calls you to both work diligently and rest deeply. In this episode, Sam unpacks why hustle isn't holy, how rest is an act of trust, and how to live in the balance of working hard where God calls you while also trusting Him with the results. ⸻ Key Scriptures: •Proverbs 13:4 — “The soul of the diligent shall be made rich.” •Psalm 127:2 — “In vain you rise early and stay up late… for He grants sleep to those He loves.” •Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me… and I will give you rest.”
We want your feedback and questions. Text us here.You've heard it said that success leaves clues. But sometimes, the very strategies that got you to the first level of success become the barriers to the next. The best leaders aren't just learning, they're unlearning. They are aware enough to recognize that what used to work no longer does. They are also humble enough to evolve before they're forced to. If you don't unlearn behaviors that are not serving you, you will experience burnout, build dependent teams, and ultimately stop growing On today's episode of The Champion Forum Podcast, we'll talk about why that happens, how to recognize it, and what to do when you realize you need to lead differently to grow further.
What happens when the life you've built no longer fits the person you've become?In this episode, Megan talks to Amber Rae, who shares her story of a profound unraveling that began with a single, eye-opening moment, leading her to confront the truth about her marriage, her career, and the beliefs she had held for years. If you've ever felt that quiet pull to make a change but has been too afraid to follow it, you'll want to tune in.In this episode, you'll learn about:Why we are conditioned to choose others' happiness over our own—and the deep-seated fear behind it.The dangerous trap of "self-abandonment" and how it masquerades as self-love.The difference between your intuition and the noisy voices of fear and expectation.A powerful journaling practice to help you discern which voice is speaking to you.Why we often try to fix our external circumstances (our jobs, our home) instead of facing the truth about what needs to shift internally.How to borrow courage from the categories in your life where you already feel confident.The crucial reframe: walking away from something you've outgrown is an act of leadership, not selfishness.Episode Timestamps:00:03:00 – The pivotal moment that sparked Amber's unraveling.00:05:00 – Why the unraveling is happening to so many women right now.00:08:00 – The connection between Amber's personal journey and her new book, Lovable.00:10:20 – The messy reality of healing and why it's not a linear process.00:19:00 – The difficult question: Is it self-love or self-abandonment?00:23:25 – The realization that we often "self-abandon" in one area of life but not others.00:28:00 – How to discern the voice of intuition from the noise of fear.00:31:30 – A powerful journaling practice for listening to your internal voices.About Amber Rae: Website: https://www.amberrae.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyamberrae/ Book: Loveable by Amber Rae: https://www.amazon.com/Loveable-Womans-Path-Good-Free/dp/1250809339For Real on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forrealwithmegan/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ForRealPodcastThis episode was edited and produced by Walk West and is brought to you by Megan's online membership site for wedding pros, The Planner's Vault. ----2025 VIP CEO Day: https://www.megangillikin.com/2025-vip-ceo-day
Many of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers work themselves to the point of exhaustion—never resting, never prioritizing themselves, and often becoming sick in the process.

You want the unfiltered truth? Here it is: You don't actually lack clarity, you're hemorrhaging it, spending your days auditing your own intuition and performing certainty just to survive the week. Beneath the polished strength and emotional vocabulary, you're suffocating in cognitive overload, outsourcing your voice to experts, algorithms, and approval, hoping for safety, getting exhaustion instead. The contradiction? Emotional fluency without self-trust is just another cage. If your high-capacity life is built on proving yourself instead of living from your core, you're clarity-starved. Stop seeking permission. This is your invitation out of survival mode and back to your knowing. 00:00:01 – Introduction & Welcome Mischelle introduces the podcast's mission: breaking cycles of stress and exhaustion for more ease, clarity, and control. 00:00:47 – Information Overload & Self-Doubt Discussion of how taking in too much information can lead to mistrusting your own knowledge and clarity. 00:02:32 – Cognitive Overload Explained Mischelle breaks down cognitive overload and why too much input saturates the brain, making clarity and self-trust harder to access. 00:05:17 – Signs of Disqualifying Your Own Clarity Noticing when you seek constant validation from others, group chats, or AI for decisions—illustrated by disclaimers and second-guessing. 00:06:41 – Leading from Agreement, Not Authenticity Warning about defaulting to consensus and group alignment rather than authentic self-knowing. 00:07:43 – Reliance on Technology & External Approval How turning to AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Google) for decision-making undermines self-trust and treats your wisdom as a draft to be validated. 00:09:00 – Emotional Surveillance: The Three Types Informational Surveillance: Consuming excess content with hopes of clarity, leading to more confusion.Relational Surveillance: Over-reliance on others' opinions and group validation.Internal Surveillance: Auditing, replaying, and doubting your own thoughts and motives. 00:12:24 – Outsourcing Your Voice Describes how clarity and decision-making can be outsourced to tech, group chats, and external validation, eroding self-trust. 00:13:18 – Decision Dependency & Psychological Roots Explanation of “externalized decision dependency” from behavioral psychology—prioritizing certainty from outside vs. authentic clarity. 00:14:28 – Neurological Basis for Clarity Loss Explains neuroscience behind why information overload short-circuits discernment and boosts fear-based decision-making. 00:15:44 – Performing Certainty vs. Living It Recognizing the signs (proving, disclaimers, needing receipts) when you're performing confidence instead of embodying it. 00:18:26 – Breaking the Cycle: A Moment of Clarity Describes a pivotal “breath out” moment where you reclaim the courage to trust your own knowing, without needing external permission. 00:21:25 – Unlearning the Pattern: Returning to Self-Trust Acknowledgement that second-guessing is learned and recurring, but with practice, recognizing and breaking the pattern gets easier. 00:22:24 – Taking Action: “Reset” Call to listeners: If resonating, DM “reset” for support—no pressure or performance, just help in returning to self-trust. 00:23:43 – Closing & Next Steps Encouragement to subscribe, connect, and keep unlearning self-doubt one choice at a time.
Unlearning Religion - Sabotage The Gospel has unique power to change, but there are ways to sabotage that power in our lives and in the lives of others around us. Anytime we add something to the gospel, think our religious resume earns God’s approval, or allow our past to define us more than Christ, we sabotage the work of the gospel. There is an antidote for anything that tries to sabotage the gospel — grace.
Breaking Down Internalized Ableism Summary In this conversation, Patricia explores the concept of internalized ableism, particularly among neurodivergent individuals. She discusses how societal stigma and expectations can lead to negative self-perceptions and feelings of inadequacy. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on how internalized ableism manifests in various aspects of life, including relationships, self-acceptance, and the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards. She emphasizes the importance of unlearning these hurtful beliefs and embracing one's neurodivergent identity with compassion and understanding. HIGHLIGHTS · Internalized ableism is the unconscious adoption of negative beliefs about oneself due to societal stigma. · Neurodivergent individuals often feel pressure to conform to neurotypical standards, which can lead to trauma. · Resting is a valid need and should not be seen as a failure. · Asking for accommodations is essential for well-being and should not induce guilt. · The concept of 'high functioning' can be harmful and does not reflect true capabilities. · Time agnosia is a common experience for neurodivergent individuals. · Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming internalized ableism. · Relationships can be affected by the fear of being a burden. · Unlearning internalized ableism involves recognizing and challenging societal expectations. · Embracing neurodivergence includes acknowledging strengths and practicing self-acceptance. 115 SPECIFIC POINTS DISCUSSED 1. How internalized ableism shows up in everyday life o Masking, pushing through burnout, or feeling "lazy" when you're resting. 2. Messages we absorbed growing up o From school, parents, peers, or media about being "too much," "distracted," "weird," or "wrong." 3. Perfectionism and people-pleasing as survival o How needing to be “better” or “easy to manage” is often rooted in internalized shame. 4. The trap of “not disabled enough” or “faking it” o How we invalidate our own struggles because we don't “look” stereotypically disabled. 5. ADHD, autism, OCD & “high-functioning” narratives o The myth of being “high functioning” and how it reinforces ableist expectations. 6. Feeling guilt for needing accommodations or rest o That voice that says “you're being difficult” when you ask for what you actually need. 7. Shame around executive dysfunction o Struggling to start tasks, follow through, or manage time — and blaming yourself. 8. Rejecting your own needs to fit in o Forcing eye contact, avoiding stimming, hiding rituals, not using noise-canceling headphones in public, etc. 9. The pressure to be “independent” all the time o How internalized capitalism + ableism equates needing support with being a failure. 10. Comparing yourself to neurotypical peers · Especially in productivity, relationships, or emotional regulation. 11. “If I can do it sometimes, I should always be able to” myth · Inconsistent ability = inconsistent worth? Nope. Talk about spoon theory and fluctuating capacity. 12. How OCD-specific traits are misunderstood or mocked · And how that seeps into how you see yourself (e.g., feeling “crazy,” “irrational,” or “a burden”). 13. Internalized ableism in dating & relationships · Fear of being too much, too emotional, or too rigid — and minimizing yourself as a result. 14. How healing looks like reclaiming your needs unapologetically · Self-accommodation, boundaries, rest, and neurodivergent joy as rebellion. 15. Relearning self-compassion and identity pride · Ending with hope: unmasking, connecting with community, and defining success on your own terms. SOUND BITES · "Rest is resistance." · "You are not broken." · "You deserve rest, joy, and support." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you LINKS Rest Is Resistance: Free yourself from grind culture and reclaim your life by Tricia Hersey.

How do we move from seeing grief as something to fix or overcome, to understanding it as a lifelong companion and guide? In this conversation with Rev. Dr. Jamie Eaddy CT, CTP - educator, death doula, founder of Thoughtful Transitions, and creative force behind The Ratchet Grief Project® - she invites us to reimagine grief as a friend who helps us navigate loss, change, and transition. Drawing from her personal lineage of grief through the deaths of her grandmother, cousin, and uncle, Dr. J. shares how these experiences shaped her work supporting individuals and communities, especially those living at the intersections of marginalization and oppression. We explore: How personal experiences with family deaths shaped Dr. Eaddy's career path Redefining grief beyond death - as our natural response to loss, change, transition, unmet expectations, unrealized dreams, and shattered assumptions The concept of "befriending grief" - viewing grief as a companion and guide rather than something to overcome The Ratchet Grief Project® - creating space for marginalized communities to grieve authentically without conforming to restrictive societal expectations How racism, sexism, and systemic oppression create additional layers of grief for Black communities The harmful expectations of "acceptable" grief Current trends in grief work, including the rise of death doulas and increased awareness of non-death losses Unlearning narratives around strength, silence, and emotional suppression The importance of reclaiming parts of ourselves - like joy - that get left behind in survival To learn more: Follow Dr. J. @drjamieeaddy on IG.
