  Embracing Balance

  Sep 24, 202617 minS3

  This conversation with therapist and author, Kelly Ann Street, explores balance and the importance of embracing both light and dark, coming out of the Fall Equinox time, where the light is equal to the dark in our day. I cover the story of Persephone, the meaning of balance, the gap between story and reality, and how to think about, or reframe, the seasons of life. REFLECTION QUESTIONS: What's one thought you've been carrying in shame this week? Run it through the three questions and see what it says: "Where did this come from? What does it want me to know? How do I feel about it?" Where in your life are you all light, or all dark, and what might be leaking out sideways? And is there a season you've been calling a failure that might just be your December?
