Unrepentant as ever. La vie Deep Selfish Joy continues. I’ve also made you a Notion Joy Journal Page to support you right hereSo today’s podcast meets voice note is designed to prepare you to build your skill at wanting, I’m going to share thoughts on just how essential this space to dream and want is in the January field notes for paid subscribers along with links to the two documentaries I watched yesterday from the incredible vibrant force that is activist an documentary maker Deeyah Khan but today is about you and making space to be with you and what you want and allowing that to be the most important thing.
