What does it mean to create spaciousness? Through our creative rhythms, through our travels, through the expression of our voices?


I talk with writer and teacher Sebene Selassie, the author of You Belong and the excellent Substack newsletter Ancestors to Elements, about cultivating self-reliance through solo travel, the power of acknowledging what you’ve accomplished, finding your authentic voice, and why we so often gravitate towards the negative rather than “going towards the love.”
