Embodied BeautyEp. 16 - I almost blocked Sydney Sweeney: the gift of your triggersIn this episode I go into why I almost blocked Syndey Sweeney ~ what your triggers are uncovering for you, tapping into what you are actually craving for yourself, and the healing opportunities within them.
How your body fixations shape shift and adapt to fit the complexities of your life, how they distract you and feel "productive" but also keep you from stepping into your higher purpose.
How gratitude (authentic gratitude) is THE tool to help you move through life when you're literally or metaphorically in the sh*t.
