In this episode, we talking all about importance of self-care and the metaphorical weight we all carry. I know I'm not alone in sometimes feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the weight of the world. I recently came across a post by Queen Lisa Marie of @seasoned_dialogue that got me thinking. She talked about being a 🩼CRUTCH🩼, and it resonated with me deeply.
