One of the most challenging tasks in this world is to genuinely have fun. I'm talking about real fun—not merely numbing out or watching someone else engage in something deep and engaging, but being fully immersed in life and experience. Reflecting on my healing journey, I would advise my younger self about the importance of working with one's shadow, addressing trauma, and learning to be with pain. Yet, I'd emphasize that finding joy and fun is equally, if not more, crucial.

It's a journey to learn how to savor life. How does one enjoy relationships if they've been deeply hurt or betrayed? How do you feel safe to open up? These have been my questions, and I've worked hard to find satisfying answers. I've discovered a lot and wish to share these insights with others who are navigating similar challenges. Even for those who haven't faced significant adversity, it can be tough to allow oneself the space to relax and make time for fun amidst the global chaos.

How do we advocate for ourselves in a world that often feels overwhelming? With so many competing priorities, how can we carefully balance our own needs alongside those of others? It's common to feel caught in a dilemma, feeling as though we must choose between supporting ourselves or supporting someone else. Yet, there's a third path available to us—one that might not be immediately obvious.

I've delved into the art of self-advocacy and discovered that it not only empowers us but also strengthens our relationships with others. This journey unveils a fascinating paradox: by choosing to advocate for ourselves, we embrace a certain level of risk. However, this risk opens the door to significant rewards. Advocating for ourselves doesn't mean putting our needs above all else; instead, it's about finding a harmonious balance that enriches our connections and fosters mutual respect and understanding.

How do we go about nurturing kindness and understanding, not just for ourselves but for those around us in one of the most difficult dynamics of life. At its heart is the belief that being compassionate is key to connecting with ourselves and building our confidence. But it's not just about feeling good; it's crucial for diving into meaningful discussions on racial justice. Discover how being compassionate and accountable can go hand in hand, helping you tackle tough topics without compromising your values
