This one's for anyone who has spent their life holding the sky together.Topics include:✨ Perfectionism and control✨ Hyper-responsibility✨ Childhood survival strategies✨ Conditional love and belonging✨ Self-blame and shame✨ Fear of judgment✨ The exhaustion of holding everything together✨ Learning to be human instead of perfect 💡 Listen · Reflect · Reset🎙️Produced by Kavi Apoha Studios 🌕A Zero Point Eclectic Production 💬 Hosted by Gin — Soul Doula, Eclectic Alchemist, founder of ZPE & QFFC.🎵Theme Song Lyrics: Rev.
