Featured Episode
Finding Compassion Within: A Powerful Spoken Word Journey
In this heartfelt spoken word piece, we share a powerful story – one that not only belongs to us but resonates with countless others. It delves into the emotions of a young girl who carries scars, and sheds light on the universal experience of navigating self-compassion and healing. To add to the richness of this discussion, we are thrilled to have a wonderful guest, Tammy Vavala, who will join us in exploring my journey of self-recognition and compassion.
