Faezeh's Podcast

The way our current comfort system crisis has been built is in a way that will soothe you immediately the wrong way before you can think about finding actual solutions that can change your current circumstances.

We stay in the same place that is hurting us almost all our lives. We just sit there and soothe and self sabotage our whole life.
