At Confluence 2023, I had the pleasure of leading an all-star panel of visionary thought leaders – holistic psychiatrist Dr. Kelly Brogan, researcher and author Dawn Lester, mystic and somatic facilitator Aubert Bastiat, and host and comedian Robinson Blanchard. 

I’m thrilled to share that thought-provoking and inspiring conversation with you today. 

We explore how to overcome a victim mentality and reclaim our agency, compassion, connection, and personal freedom. We talk about how there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” – just what is,  going deep on the idea that everything in this world is a “maybe, we’ll see.” When we release our ego’s grip on us and embrace that mentality, we can find freedom, presence, and joy — knowing that everything is exactly how it’s meant to be right now. 

We also dive into the dark shadow of activism, how to find forgiveness for those who have harmed us, and why we should focus on spreading love in our own sphere of influence instead of blaming others for our circumstances. Each thoughtful and intuitive guest shares personal stories and insights from their individual paths toward claiming sovereignty. You don’t want to miss this.
