This episode explores the deeply healing practice of self-witnessing—the simple yet powerful act of being present with oneself without judgment. Through honest reflections, insights from the yoga mat, and a look at the emotional barriers that keep people from being fully seen, Lindsey invites listeners into a thoughtful conversation about authenticity, presence, and connection.
The episode examines how the fear of being “too much” or “not enough” can keep us from showing up fully in our lives. It also offers space to consider how self-witnessing creates room for emotional release, clarity, and personal growth. And because healing doesn’t happen in isolation, Lindsey shares how this practice extends outward—shaping how we show up in community, how we hold space for others, and how we cultivate deeper, more compassionate relationships.
