018: Joy Isn't Selfish -- It's Survival

Come to our workshop on Thursday night! You don't want to miss this one. Here's why -- It’s 2025. Our country is on fire (literally and figuratively), and many of you listening are fighting just to exist. And whether you're feeling the impact of the current climate on a very personal level, or you're watching it attack people you love -- it's easy to feel like now isn’t the time to focus on yourself.But here's the thing:Finding joy, taking care of yourself, and even (dare I say) putting yourself first, isn’t optional—it’s necessary. Maybe more now than ever before. Wanna hear some bold truths?Shrinking yourself won’t save anyone.Guilt is a tool used to keep marginalized people small.Joy isn’t selfish (and being selfish isn't even a bad thing!)—it’s survival.In this episode, we’re talking about why making space for your own healing and growth isn’t a luxury, but a necessity—especially in times like these.And if this conversation resonates, join me for GROW: Balancing Self Care, Joy, and the Weight of the World — a free online workshop designed to help you step into even more self-expression, power, and presence, even (especially) when it feels like the last thing we should be doing.
