In this powerful conversation, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner sits down with Gregory James Thelian, a boudoir photographer whose work extends far beyond the lens. Together, they explore how intentional vulnerability, introspection, and ritualized self-connection can reshape the way we see ourselves. Gregory shares the three-day experience he's crafted to help people shed old narratives, reconnect with their inner truth, and claim a deeper sense of self-worth. They discuss the emotional courage required to be seen, the impact of formative experiences on our identity, and the importance of honoring even the smallest victories along the path of personal growth. This episode invites listeners to step into their own authenticity, celebrate their becoming, and remember the art of seeing themselves clearly.
Give yourself permission to pause, witness yourself, and honor the places where you've grown. Let vulnerability be a doorway rather than a threat—an invitation to meet the parts of you that have been waiting to be acknowledged. Celebrate the small wins, name the ways you've chosen yourself, and allow your inner truth to rise to the surface. When you see yourself with compassion, your entire life begins to shift.
