welcomes
your inner Self
This week at InnerSelf...
It’s a week for waking up—whether to the quiet manipulation of cognitive warfare or the loud, lingering myths we tell ourselves about fear, love, learning, and even fiber in our diet. Across all aspects of everyday life, this issue invites you to pause, pay attention, and call out the B.S.—both in the world and within your own self. It's not just about awareness; it’s about reclaiming our clarity, our truth, and our power.
Wishing you insightful reading and a deeply conscious, joy-full week,
With Peace, Love, Gratitude, and Joy,
Marie T. Russell,
Editor/Co-Publisher, InnerSelf.com
