What does it mean to SEE?
We can’t provide for others that which we haven’t experienced ourselves.
Think of the person who you feel most seen by? Why does it touch you? Bring you to life? Have you feel like MORE because of what they connect with? … (con’t)

Stop beating yourself up about things from your past. Instead of slapping your forehead and asking, “What was I thinking?" breathe and ask yourself the kinder question, “What
