Light and Shadow: the podcast
Life can feel like the most insane and exciting adventure, while other days it can feel like a living hell of which we cannot escape. Rarely do we feel like we can divulge what we truly think and feel and sometimes we don’t even know ourselves. In this podcast, I hope to dive into the deepest parts of our hearts and minds to find the keys to freedom together. I hope, if I do anything at all, I remind you that there is immeasurable beauty in both the light and shadow. *** follow @light._and_.shadow on instagram for essential graphics and related posts ***
