    The Gift of Access to YOU
    Jan 4 2025
    How often do we stop to recognize the privilege it is for someone to share in our time, energy, and presence?

    This episode unpacks how those lessons of survival can linger into adulthood, making us feel like we owe access to anyone who asks.But here’s the truth: Your value is intrinsic, and your boundaries are sacred.

    Tune in for a conversation about self-worth, healing, and the quiet power of saying, “I choose who gets to see my garden bloom.”

    You are not for taking. You are for treasuring!
