This isn’t who you are. Something in you already knows that or you wouldn’t be here. Who you are is buried underneath the patterns, habits, and ways of being in the world that you’ve had to adopt in order to carry on. We all adopt strategies that keep us safe and protected, help us move forward. They're often needed - and they come at a cost. Along the way we fallen out of touch with ourselves - the version of us who lives freely and playfully. What if there was a different way? One where we can live life while staying connected with who we are. Transformations are possible - and it starts with our relationship to ourselves.
