Mind provoking

I stumbled upon Inner work with MaryAnn and now I can’t get enough. Every episode causes me to reflect and start asking questions. Sometimes I want to run away bc I start asking myself too many questions, which her podcast initiates within me. It has really helped me to understand myself, relationships, and life better.
