54. PROJECTION IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM - Take up Space! Believe in Goodness! Reject Cynicism!

Figuring Sh!t Out - A podcast by Vanessa Fontana

This episode is for those who have felt, at any point, like they are "too much." To dim the beautiful bright light in your being to be palatable and digestible for others is an indiscretion to your soul. We must resist the urge to give into cynicism and nihilism and embrace that life CAN be beautiful, love IS that good, and that we ARE meant to live in joy and trust that flow will guide us. During this episode, we go on a journey of understanding where cynicism and projection comes from, why we prioritize people pleasing over our own personal power, and what happens when we decide to live rooted in ourselves and connected to our joy. Life is too short to not believe that it can also be sweet.
