It's simple and very easy. And it invol...

What does it mean to change our mindset or spiritually bypass, and how can we shift this to serve us?

Feelings! Sensitivity! Trauma! In this solo-cast I talk about a perspective I’ve noticed; centering the effects of trauma on the individual, as opposed to addressing the traumatizing factors. We seem to focus on or judge the expression of someone’s experience (the term ‘snowflake’ anyone?) rather than seeing the big picture or the harsh realities we have created in our world. P.S. The Care Bears w...
