I get real and raw about my own experiences, like the aftermath of the Woolsey fire in Malibu, to show how denying our true feelings just keeps us stuck.

In this episode, I break down why denial happens, especially if you grew up in a tough environment, and offer some practical tips on how to stop these patterns. This one's for you if you're looking to embrace your authentic self and finally move forward. Let's get real about how we feel and heal together!
