#24 Aaron Alexander is an author, and host of the align podcast and utilizes movement as a means to better people’s minds and bodies. This conversation is a special one because Aaron is joining us after spending 5 days in complete darkness. In this episode, he brings his reflection on what it was like to be alone with his thoughts. We also talk about the inner critic, self-compassion, and how we can love ourselves while simultaneously striving to be better.
