What you seek…is inside of you [DEEP DIVE]

by

[podcast_episode episode="22236" ]We all have needs or things we’re seeking. Sometimes it’s belonging, love, appreciation, or tenderness. Sometimes it’s accountability, ownership, and validation. Instead of looking externally for these things like we’ve been conditioned to do, I invite you to look inwards. Because friends, the truth is that everything you seek is already inside of you.
