A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK.

Tracy Crossley hosts Freedom from Attachment, a education show with 500 episodes published.
