What We Learn
💡 Harnessing the power to choose to operate from our higher selves.
🧠 How becoming aware of our stories and beliefs creates space to respond instead of react.
👩⚕️ How personal crises can be gifts to shed old beliefs, leading to growth.
🤝 What shifts in our relationships when we experiment with “What if everyone is doing their best?” and meet others with compassion.
🔍 Why “Curiosity is the antidote to contraction” and how curiosity moves us from victim to creator.
