We won’t ever say it aloud - but most of us hold an ideal of perfection inside of our self-development routines. And after spending enough time nipping and tucking away pieces of ourselves that we don't like in an effort to curate the most acceptable, palatable, "perfect" version of us - what many of us will find is this:We are only as whole as we are able to accept the parts of us that don’t make us feel like it. We are only as healed as we are able to hold our brokenness. We are only as loving as we are to the pieces of us that we can’t fathom. And we will come to know, by peering into the depths of our own hearts long enough to see the it's shadows, that the space that is our bodies was created to hold love for our imperfect flesh. This episode is another reflection on a topic that is core to Figuring Sh!t Out: Shadow-Work. It is a continued conversation from recent dialogue on stretching our capacity for complexity within us and expanding our conscious creation in this world.May it be a friend to you when you feel the tenderness of being deeply human.xxTHANK YOU for listening!!
