Why does self-care = overconsumption?

A few months ago I had a vision — that too many of us are living lives we regret, and it leaves us with endless longing and confusion.
When I asked for the antidote, the response was profound — Live a beautiful life. That’s all we can do. Live a beautiful life.
In this episode, I share my vision and offer reflections on why beauty is everything. Tune in for support and inspiration to release regret and align your life with truth + beauty.
