Giving My SELF Permission
by Dr. Pennie Murray
We’re all familiar with the common phrase, “I’m giving myself permission to...” which is usually to declare an external action of self-indulgence. What started as a simple phrase became my awakening to the deeper work of letting our Sacred Expressive Life Force™ (ourSELF) guide us. Each episode, I take the overused phrase and flip it into a radical act of inner freedom where fear, doubt, and ego resistance are called out. This podcast is for anyone ready to break mental chains, shed your armor of the wounded warrior, and Give YourSELF Permission to reveal your life’s truth.
