Softer. Almost sermon-like.A space to mourn.To acknowledge the little one who had to grow up too fast.And to gently become the safe adult you needed back then.Because strength doesn’t mean you weren’t hungry.And competence isn’t proof you weren’t hurt.You deserved care too.You still do.💡 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.
