Welcome to Living Table! 🌊

I'm so glad you are here! 🫶

Hi friend,

🤔 Have you ever felt like you were not at home in your own body? 

Like you were going through the motions but feeling totally disconnected from reality? 

🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever wondered, who am I really?

Today on the podcast I am joined by Stacy Blemaster, author of the book To Be or Not to Be, Shedding an As-If Personality. 

Stacy shares about growing up in a wealthy family that kept a lot of secrets and how that affected her ability to really know who she was behind the mask of pleasing and performing. 

Sharing her own lived experience with mental health challenges, Stacy provides hope that recovery is possible and how the power of one person changed the trajectory of her life.

Listen in.

Your presence matters here. <3

With you,

Amy

Thank you Stacy for being at the table with me today!
