Allow Yourself to Be Seen with Michelle Olson

Most of us hide ourselves- especially our pain, grief and hardest truths. How and when do you let yourself be seen? And by whom? In this episode I speak with artistic director, dancer and choreographer Michelle Olson about the transformation that can happen when we're truly seen. 

Together we talk about the process of witnessing and being witnessed as an essential part of becoming ourselves and community belonging. Tune in to hear more about: 

• How to discover and own your perspective
• The surprising power of body memory 
• Why the questions you’re living are central to being seen 

Be sure to listen carefully for a more-than-human guest who joins us mid-way through our conversation (and no, it wasn’t my dog!).
