Finding Yourself When You Feel Disconnected From Who You Are
Have you ever felt disconnected from who you are beneath the roles you play and the expectations you meet?
Sometimes, we look inward for answers, wondering why it feels so difficult to know what we want, what we need, or who we are becoming.
But our relationship with ourselves doesn't develop in isolation. Colonialism, racism, cultural expectations, and the pressure to measure our worth through productivity can shape which parts of ourselves we learn to express—and which we learn to hide.

What if reconnecting with yourself begins not with asking what's wrong with you, but with understanding what you've learned about who you're allowed to be?
In this month's blog, we explore how the world around us shapes our relationship with ourselves, and how we can begin making room for more of who we are.
🌿 You don't have to leave parts of yourself at the door.
