There is a culturally accepted working hypothesis that there is something inherently wrong with each and every one us, and that we are morally obligated to constantly work toimprove ourselves. This might serve the wellness industrial complex, but it does not serve you, according to meditationteacherandsought-afterglobalkeynotespeaker, Liza Kindred.

“You are not broken. You don’t need constant improvement to be a good human. You are not a project, you are a worthy and complete person. Without a doubt, many of us have past traumas or abuses to heal from. To be sure, virtually everyone can benefit from connecting to old wisdom and learning new toolsets. And certainly, many of us have made mistakes that we deeply regret. We feel hurt, we cause hurt, we suffer, and we flounder. But none of this means that we are broken;it means that we arehuman. We are messy and real and doing our best. And that is enough.”
