Maybe you’re exhausted by the hustle.
You feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel,
trying to be everything you’re supposed to be,
and you’re desperate for an exit ramp.
If you’re honest, you’ve wondered whether this is
all your fault.
Whether you’re just broken.
(Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but you didn’t get much out of it.)

you are not broken
your body is not the problem, and it never was.
your true Self is untouched and untainted,
no matter what your life has thrown at you.
you don’t have to wait any longer to
come home to your Self.

we see you
