Mindfulness Monday #3: What If Your Assignment Is Simply to Be the Example?
What if your assignment isn't to do more—but to become more honest?
This week's Mindfulness Monday began with a question from my pastor and ended with a much bigger realization: somewhere along the way, I had become really good at protecting everyone else's story while quietly editing my own.
In this episode, I reflect on writing as witness, creativity as an expression of our voice, and the freedom that comes when we stop waiting for permission to tell the truth about our own experiences.
If you've ever felt like you've been shrinking your voice to keep the peace, this conversation is for you.
