In this episode, you’ll be invited to explore what it means to "resist the box" by owning your truth. If you’re struggling with shame or judgment, don’t worry! Practice non-judgment from the previous episode before diving into this one.🌿 Listen in to:
💌 Gain clarity on owning your truth and resisting societal or personal boxes;
💌 Explore why recognizing and respecting different truths is vital (#MountainMetaphor); and,
💌 Empower yourself to recognize how resisting the box can help break down oppression and enhance understanding of yourself and others.
