About this episode

This episode features a grounding meditation focused on self-compassion and coming into selfhood.

This grounding meditation invites you to gently come home to yourself through presence, curiosity, and self-compassion. Rooted in an awareness of the unique challenges of coming into selfhood—especially for those whose sense of self has been marginalized or diminished—this practice centers listening to the wisdom of the body and honoring your needs.
