In today's episode, titled Embracing Authenticity in a Masked World, we delve into the concept of authenticity and the impact that restricting our natural tendencies can have on our emotional connection and inner guidance. 

We discuss how societal expectations can hinder our ability to express ourselves fully and the importance of nurturing our own and our children's authentic selves. 

We  share our personal and professional journies of reconnecting with our self and navigating the challenges of caregiving, while also shedding light on the significance of emotional expression and the therapeutic process. 

Join us as we unravel the layers of authenticity and discover the profound impact it can have on our lives. 

So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this enriching journey to discover and embrace our true, authentic selves.
