In this episode we explore Uncle Pat's poetry for gems on vulnerability and self-love. We explore a possible antidote to shame: radical acceptance, self-reflection and community.
We address the power of creativity and finding meaning in your life as a doorway to self-love, the spiral of shame and addiction, as well as balance that can be created with nourishing our bodies.
