We’ve all heard the saying “life is short,” but if you’re truly living in the present moment, that couldn’t be further from the truth (in a good way!).

Being present is our natural state, but because of the way our lives are structured, and the pervasiveness of social media, it’s become something that we have to actively practice in order to achieve.

Both of us have been on challenging personal growth journeys over the past few years, not to mention the global pandemic we’re all in the midst of, and what we’ve realized is that the only thing that we can know for certain is that things are going to change. And accepting that fact is so liberating!

Join us as we explore this concept, as well as the importance of not talking from wounds, remembering past versions of yourself with kindness, not waiting until you feel ready to create something, understanding the hills and valleys of mental health struggles, and the therapeutic benefits of angry squatting while listening to Ashnikko.

“Awareness, or insight, or even confidence, comes from the act of creating.” — Emily Pennystone [0:27:38]
