    #102: ANABEL MUÑOZ: Giving Herself Permission to Change & Greiving Past Versions of Herself

    This week I sat down with Anabel Munoz, the wonderfully talented TV news journalist at ABC 7 Los Angeles. In her stories, Anabel explores the ideas of giving herself permission to change and to not have everything figured out. A story that begins with hair uncovers the symbolic shift to explore the tensions of who we are expected to be, versus who we allow ourselves to be as we experiment and grow. In another story, Anabel explores the topic of grieving past versions of herself as she has matured into who she is today, embracing who she will be tomorrow in this process of loss and becoming.
