Episode #110 — Comfort makes for magic!
The chance to be myself. Though that’s what I longed for, I held back so much of who I was, who I am, for SOOO many years. I was afraid of being judged, or misunderstood, or mischaracterized, or rejected. All it took to open the floodgates was a little sense of belonging.
“Watch carefully the magic that occurs
when you give a person just enough
comfort to be themselves.”
