This is the kind of guidance that I have been looking for! I have been in the vague place for far too long, and not sure how to move on, where to focus my energy, how to overcome debilitative mindset…etc. The exercises/tools in this zine are practical, I look forward to go through them. Thank you for showing me the way!
