SELF-FORGIVENESS
If I was to do one thing today, it would be to write about forgiveness, mainly self-forgiveness, as itβs something I have struggled with since I was 16. Forgiveness is really just understanding and letting go, and the most important person that we must understand and forgive is ourselves. Rather than beating ourselves up for…

The inner-child keeps the score
This article is written based upon my own perception and experience. How would you feel if I told you that most negative emotions that you experience (fear, anxiety, rejection, low-self worth etc) is actually your body remembering a stored energy from your childhood?

How and why women are still oppressed?
