Great talk! Really useful and helpful guidance. Thank you for being direct, saying "disgust" and embracing the power of our feelings towards ourselves. That really helped me accept this information. Much love and gentleness to you!

I was tense at first struggling to find compassion for my own sources of self-disgust, but the moment you spoke about loving the earth and animals more, my whole body relaxed instantly. Thank you for this beautiful reminder. Namaste 🙏

An opportunity to love even the wounded parts of ourselves- this shift in perspective makes all the difference between a life of suffering and a life of freedom. Thank you for this profound message.
