Compassion

"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. "- Brené Brown
When I teach I share my story. It is vulnerable but as long as it helps someone in the room to feel less alone, to feel safe, to know that change is possible then it is worth it. These past two years I have been fortunate to be seen. To share what I thought to be the most shameful parts of my human experience and to be loved anyway. I have a community of women in Los Angeles of all ages. Grateful for their compassion and acceptance.
