0:01 Shitty, but. We didn't. Or couldn't or wouldn't. Do life, the way we really wanted to do it. We can build our lives around these. Blanket statements of. I could never leave them for that long, or I could never this, or they could never that. And. We won't ever know. Until we try it. Yes, there were. Definitely points in which I felt homesick. And guilty but not really guilty. I think that that sentence comes out of my mouth, because.
0:41 It's the common sentence. It's the common sentiment. When a mother's away from home, but. Our children are not ours. They don't belong to us. We are here to guide them. They're their own beings. They're their own entities and. Our job is to support. Them love them. Keep them safe. It's not. That we own them and it's our responsibility to make them into something. And. I think that amount of time away. Forced me to acknowledge that. I too am a, something that is not. Owned. By them. I am not owned by.
1:24 My family by my life. It's a space for the restless visionary with an insatiable desire to create the life and work you're meant for. My name is Bianca Lea Mora, and I'm a photographic artist, a mother, and a coach who's transformed my fear of loss into power, art, and philosophy. One of the scariest quotes I never want to say is, I wish I knew at the time, but I truly believe that we have the innate ability to bring our wise 2020 hindsight to our now.
2:11 You can deeply experience your nostalgia now, while it's actually happening, with no regrets. All you have to do is see. In this show, we laugh, we cry, we get inspired, we overshare, we have life changing conversations around making meaning, self discovery, and shedding all the BS layers in order to reconnect to our own sacred vision. Seeing yourself is an essential key to living powerfully. You are the vessel, the lens that filters absolutely everything in your life.
3:24 Let's commit to seeing and consciously creating what only you can in your one and only life. Let's dive in.
