In 6 minutes I'll show you how... 😌 (Without Confrontation)

Hey 8and88 fam!
I received a comment recently that felt important to address.
(I see you, and I care.)

In many cultures, laughing in awkward moments isn’t weakness.
It’s "politeness."
But deeper, it’s learned safety. (cute 🤭 and safe)
And, it’s often expected.

But even when something feels familiar or cultural,
your body still tells the truth.

This video is part of my 365-Day Self-Trust Salve 🌿
A daily series where we learn to reconnect with our True North.
Not through confrontation.
Not through becoming someone else.

But through small, quiet choices that honor us.
Like noticing discomfort.
Like excusing ourselves.
Like choosing different company next time.

You don’t have to explain yourself.
You don’t have to correct anyone.
You don’t have to change overnight.

But you’re allowed make micro-choices that honor you more.
Enabling you to become 1% more self-trusting than yesterday. 😌

That counts. 🧭
