Room to Breathe: Permission to be Human

Welcome to “Room to Breathe.” These mini podcasts are a reflection of what I’ve discovered over the years, that we are perfectly imperfect beings. In a culture that wants to put us into tiny little boxes with narrow little lives, it’s vital we give ourselves permission to feel all of what it is to be human. This means we need to allow ourselves to feel it all. At times, it seems contradictory: The pain, the joy, the confusion, the numbness, the grief, the love. And in accepting the range of our humanness, we find our freedom. (Thanks to Holizna for music CC0)
