Beyond the Mirror: Working on the Inside

In this episode, the Stress Therapist explores the importance of focusing on our inner well-being as much as our outer appearance. The episode highlights how our egos often prioritize external traits, but true fulfillment and peace come from cultivating a healthy inner self. The discussion also touches on the benefits of practices like yoga and meditation in promoting both inner and outer wellness.

~Inner vs. Outer Work: The importance of balancing efforts to improve external appearance with nurturing your internal well-being.

~Ego and Judgment: Understanding how our egos influence our perceptions and how we can manage judgment to grow

~Mindfulness Practices: The power of meditation and yoga in enhancing emotional resilience, health, and overall happiness.
