The Nuance of being alive
Show Notes
Welcome to The Deeper Call. In this episode, I’m joined by Lisa Olivera, a writer, mother, and creative who shares work centered around radical acceptance, cultivating compassion, and integrating our stories and full humanity.
Together we dive deep into the intermingling of pleasure, grief, and joy, and we ask what it means to live a full life even when we don’t always believe that we’re enough.
Join us for a conversation about the importance of self-trust, self-compassion, and honoring our aliveness.
