Permission Granted

Even when we’re clear on what we want or deserve, it can be hard to give ourselves permission to go after it. Today’s visualization will help you give *yourself* permission to move forward. Voiced by Mel Chanté. Takeaways: 1- It can be difficult to give ourselves permission to go after what we want or know we deserve. 2- Oftentimes, this hesitancy is rooted in self-doubt or imposter syndrome—we aren’t sure we’re ready for or have earned the right to move forward with what we need. 3- When we grant ourselves permission, we open ourselves up to the possibility for change and growth. --- Mantra: I give myself permission. --- We believe fighting for Black mental health is crucial to fighting for Black lives.
