034 - Creative Empowerment

SessionWell

We all find ourselves in unhealthy patterns and behaviors which keep us stuck and are often driven by our historical hurts and fears (powerless victimhood).

We gain confidence and trust to move forward in our lives and positively affect the world around us.

033 - The Risk and Reward of Vulnerability

SessionWell

Vulnerability is defined by Brene Brown as “uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure”. While, at face value, this may not sound like anything to rave about or go running after, true vulnerability has the great potential of opening us up to being more of who we authentically are. Vulnerability allows us to take the heavy masks off and gives us the freedom to connect with ourselves and others in more meaningful ways.
