We follow tangents, we cry, we laugh, and we let what needs to emerge come forward.\nSettle in, and see where the episode takes you.\nWe touch on some deep topics here. Please go gently with yourself if you find anything in this conversation is activating for you - and do reach out to trusted sources if you need any additional support.\nSoulla's book You Have Always Been Enough is available now.
