What does it mean to stay with yourself? Those are profound words with even more significant life implications. Staying with yourself involves personal integrity and self-respect. It means understanding and standing up for your beliefs and values and not yielding to the expectations of others. It’s a trueness that is raw, deep, and unquestionable.   But how does one do just that? I sat down with meditation teacher and coach Jessica Amos to talk about the ins and outs of self-discovery, staying with yourself, and leaning into the practices that feed you on every level, not just the one we show to the outside world. It’s a riveting conversation filled with drops of wisdom and practices to create a more fulfilled you. Let’s get right to it!
