Some topics discussed in todays episode:

Why it so important to share the stories of others
Imposter syndrome that comes with big life transitions
How to not abandoning yourself – figuring out your core values when you don’t know where to start
How to change the way that you see yourself and shift the perspective and mindset to knowing that this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart, you’re just falling into something different with a new capacity to be beautiful
Embodying emotions- how this can help us learn about the emotions we have, and what they mean, not only in relation to the present, but also in relation to our past
Pushing past your limits and expanding past your emotional threshold of discomfort
And lastly gaining acceptance and confidence in yourself

Things I would tell my younger self if I could: Don’t drown in comparing yourself to others, you are beautiful and valuable, and no one can take that away. Loving yourself can make life a lot easier. Be gentle with your words because hearts are fragile. It is hard to move forward when you refuse to let go. Your first reaction to a difficult situation is usually not the wisest- pausing to think before acting is empowering. Giving others kindness will be soothing to your mind into your future. Pain doesn’t last forever. -Yung Pueblo
Cheryl Strayed Quotes:
There are some things you can’t understand yet. Your life will be great and continuous unfolding but understand that what you resolve will need to be resolved again. And again. We will come to know things that can only be known with the wisdom of age and the grace of yours. Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.
Many years ago, when I was in graduate school, a few poet friends of mine told me about an assignment they had that require them to listen repeatedly to a poem in a language, they didn’t understand, and then translate it into English. Their mission wasn’t to know what the words meant, but rather to hear them, to feel them, to imagine them, and then to conjure something from within themselves to translate the impossible mystery of those words into a poem of their own creation in a language they know. It seems audacious and nonsensical as it first seems, the task is ultimately what poetry- and life- asks us to do: attempt to make clarity and meaning out of the incomprehensible. In some ways, what we’re all being asked to do right now is to create something beautiful from the unknown languages we’ve suddenly found ourselves forced to comprehend. We’ve had to translate the sentence I don’t know how I’m going to do this into the opposite of its meaning, and do this, as you have time, and time again.
