Hi friends,
it’s been a while. A (new) full-time job that pays your bills is a real time sucker, but here we are - back for some beloved bits & pieces on knowledge sharing, bio hacking and discovered gems that tend to be overlooked. Carefully sourced from the internet to lift you up and enrich your (Sun)day.
What else was on my mind lately? Iran. And more Iran. An utmost feeling of powerlessness to fight the patriarchy. A deep feeling of gratitude for those, who invest their time, energies and mind space to push things forward. But also the life concept of duality and constant flux.
So let’s embrace it as good as we can
Yours, Julia 🔮
