Do you cringe or shut down listening to your voice or watching yourself in a video?

In this episode, we're unearthing the profound practice of 'Turtle-Dove Eyes'.

Discover why the camera isn't just capturing an image, but poking at your deepest discomforts, revealing where you're truly uncomfortable with your own power and softness. Are you ready to trade hyper-criticism for radical self-compassion and truly love what you see?
