Returning to Sender: Reclaiming Your Life from the Overculture

Send Mara a quick text love note here!

In this episode of 'Even Here, Even Now,' I dive into one of my favorite concepts concept -- 'return to sender.' Tune in to hear me discuss how we receive and internalize harmful messages from oppressive societal systems over the course of our lives, and emphasize the importance of prioritizing our own needs and authenticity as we reject the messages that do not align with how we *want* to be living.

Highlighting the struggle of feeling guilt and shame in prioritizing self-care, I encourage you to recognize and send back toxic beliefs, advocating for a balanced life where self-nourishment supports sustained contributions to others.
