Elayna and Amber discuss the importance of understanding and accepting yourself as you embark on a personal learning journey. They use the metaphor of a sound and light board to illustrate the uniqueness of each and everyone of us. Learning you requires reflection, unlearning, and adapting. By understanding and embracing that we are ALL different, we are better able to love and accept ourselves AND others.
