Distress Homeostasis and the “Virus”

In this video, I reflect on the nature of inner knowing — what it is, how it’s shaped, and how we learn to trust it. I explore the layers of truth we inherit, adopt, or discard over time, and speak to the process of deepening into our own lived, intuitive wisdom.
