🥹
I now workout to these, listen to them while I’m at work. Share them with my loved ones to shed light. Therapeutic to hear topics and conversations that need to be touched on more in the relationships we have with the people in our life and our own selves. So much awareness, honesty, and vulnerability to give ourselves. Thank you 🥹🫶🏽
