Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Abeni walks the audience through how taking up space often involves following through with intuition, even if it doesn't make sense. Our bodies are always in constant communication. The body knows things the mind doesn't. Taking up space can sometimes mean being sure and strong amongst your own boundaries. The outcome is often breakable if we let our boundaries become flimsy and fragile. Abeni realizes that she has made transgressions against her boundaries by not trusting herself, not speaking up, and not standing firm in relationships. As a result, she has made a promise to herself to trust her intuition, and her body - even if it doesn't make sense to others.
