EPISODE 11: ACCEPTING AND CELEBRATING YOURSELF W/ BRANDON GOODMAN

In this episode Weeze and Brandon talk about who we could be if society’s standards didn’t have a hold on how we choose to live our lives. If we decided to tune into our hearts vs. what others say, how would we move about the world? How would we show up for ourselves and the people & things we care about? How could we create what has never existed before? This episode is full of wisdom that encourages us to really slow down and ask ourselves, “What do I actually want?”

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT

Exploring who we could be if society’s standards of what’s “acceptable” never got ahold of us. Practicing how we show up in the world by making small corrections in our language & how we approach others. Celebrating all of our identities and experiences, regardless of what other people think. Stepping into our fullness and trying not to take people leaving as an attack or as a representation of our validity. The truth that sometimes we have to be the one to make the blueprint of what we wish to see in the world because it doesn’t exist!
