We are living in very challenging times that call on us to show up with courage and love. In this episode, we are talking about some of the poor leadership that we are seeing around the world along with the tactical manipulation of media and women. If you feel exhausted, triggered, and disgusted by the ongoing methods of mass confusion (and destruction), you are not alone! We’re feeling it too and taking this opportunity to connect and share some self-care practices to help keep you safe, strong and grounded during these times. If you have self-care practices to share, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in the spirit of strength, love, community and conversation. Meet us in the Soul Net!
