Meta-beginning

An honest story about what happens when our carefully laid plans collide with unpredictable reality. In the first episode of the Element Space Podcast, I move away from purely theoretical considerations in favor of authentic practice. I share my personal experience of how life changes, the prolonged reconstruction process and the need for reorganization verified my own plans for the "January reset". Instead of falling into the all-or-nothing trap, I'll show you how we can replace our ruthless inner critic with empowering self-compassion. You will also learn why an understanding relationship with yourself is the absolute foundation without which it is impossible to build true and deep relationships with other people. It's an inspiring invitation to a brave life in which we don't have to be perfect - we just need to be real.
