Conscious Living

Everything that seemingly happens externally is occurring in order to trigger something within us, to expand us and take us back to who we truly are.
In every moment, you have a choice. To either honor the part of you that craves something more. Or to continue squeezing into a role that doesn’t fill your cup.
