Be Selfish: Old Programming and the Permission to Receive

from Unwritten with Steph · host Stephanie Shanks

Send us Fan Mail A Sunday morning soul session — just me this time. No guest, no agenda. It starts with a $13 dog toy and a money spiral, and opens into something deeper: what happens when I let my higher self take the wheel. Through two meditations, I trace a money block back to the 16-year-old girl who became a mom too soon — and find an image that ties it all together: a child reaching for an ice cream cone she's not allowed to have. The healing isn't in finally grabbing it. It's in being held while you savor it. 🍦 This one's about self-love as the thing underneath all of it — and the reminder that nothing's truly out of reach.
