What does it really mean to be in right relationship with your power? In this expansive and heartfelt conversation, Althea Seloover invites us into the depths of that question, offering wisdom rooted in lived experience, recovery, and deep care for humanity. We explore how power can be reclaimed through rest, how self-care becomes a radical act of resistance, and what it means to move at a human pace in a world that constantly demands more. From redefining words like “work,” “sin,” and “justice” to mapping the internal landscapes of burnout, healing, and congruence, Althea’s insights challenge and nourish. This is a conversation about capacity, compassion, and choosing presence over performance — for yourself, for others, and for the collective. If you're longing for clarity, groundedness, and/or a deeper sense of integrity in how you live and lead, this episode is a soulful companion.
