Season 2/Episode 5/Turning Up For You: An Ecstatic Dance of Self-Discovery and Joy
When was the last time you truly showed up for yourself—not for others, not out of obligation, but just for you? In this episode, we explore the transformative power of prioritising your own needs and embracing self-awareness. I share a personal story of stepping out of my comfort zone during a life-affirming retreat, where the unexpected joy of an ’80s-themed ecstatic dance opened my eyes to the healing power of playfulness and self-expression.
