Connections With Debra Birks
In this podcast Shabba talks to Debra Birks about connection.
Debra shares her knowledge, experience and research to explore what true connection means and what it takes to feel connected to self and others.
To get to connection, Debra explains how we need to first understand disconnection, exploring emotions like shame and what role vulnerability plays in getting connected.
