I want to start by telling you something about permission. For years, I believed permission came from the outside - from achievements, from degrees, from other people's approval. I was a girl who learned to be invisible while trying to be extraordinary. I thought if I just achieved enough, climbed high enough, I'd finally have permission to take up space. But then something happened that changed everything. A breakup. A song. A city on the other side of the world. And I realized I'd been asking the wrong question my entire life. What if permission was never something to be earned? What if it was something I had to give myself? This is the story of how I learned that. And how a carousel taught me what I'd been missing the whole time.

If I die tomorrow what would be the one thing I want my children to remember about me?

We’re taught to be logical. To think and operate in a linear fashion and being goal oriented. But what if that’s not how the world actually works, or ever did? What if we’re only using one part of ourselves, and in the process we’ve lost a big part of what it means to be human? (Apologies had no time to watch it back so had to shoot it and just post! 🙏)
