This brought tears to my eyes and resonates deeply. I remember a few years back realizing how much I HATED writing and giving my 'bio.' I had a similar experience of being done attaching my value and my passion and the ways I wanted to show up in the world (liberation, healing, joy, peace, pleasure, love) and that changed the way I spoke about myself and the work I do. Thank you for sharing this reflection. Your words always inspire me to awe and wonder Nya.

Thank you Tina! It is really great to hear that I'm not the only one who wrestled and then emerged in a place like this. It's extra special that it came from you 💙

I love your 8-year-old. And you. I also took photos of a magnolia flower this week. 🤍

Yes to that 8 year old wisdom, and all of this. I've been thinking about the threads of what I do in my "internal life" and "external life" and how they intersect and how they don't and how it's all connected in the end. This is beautiful.
