I have been on my holistic healing journey since 2020 after a massive awakening thanks to a sound healing ceremony. Since then I have dedicated my free time to health and healing (when I'm not too consumed with being a mama of two). Health is something that has always been important to me, but healing myself in a holistic way has allowed me to become a version of myself I am truly proud of.

It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard!

This is your non-existent super-ego telling you to join Dan Brown and James Hall on a quest to explore how the ideas in psychotherapy can be considered outside of the therapy room, leading to a more complex and enjoyable life. Your negative thought patterns might be telling you right now that it's not worth your time, but my moderate ones are saying this is by no means inevitable. Go on, treat yourself. Hosted on Acast.
