Epi 286: Staying with Yourself with Jessica Amos
What does it mean to stay with yourself? Those are profound words with even more significant life implications. Staying with yourself involves personal integrity and self-respect. It means understanding and standing up for your beliefs and values and not yielding to the expectations of others. It’s a trueness that is raw, deep, and unquestionable.
But how does one do just that? I sat down with meditation teacher and coach Jessica Amos to talk about the ins and outs of self-discovery, staying with yourself, and leaning into the practices that feed you on every level, not just the one we show to the outside world.
It’s a riveting conversation filled with drops of wisdom and practices to create a more fulfilled you.
