In this episode, Elle had the opportunity to catch with an old friend, Arafat Salvador. Arafat is an attorney and photographer and a delight to spend time with. If you watch on YouTube, you'll get to see her infectious smile and some of her fantastic photography. We cover a wide range of topics including not defining yourself based on productivity. Working on your body, mind, and soul being in alignment. The importance of food and diet and movement. It's okay to feel a lot and high sensitivity (e.g. HSP). The importance of seeking connection. The beauty and gift of her daughter checking in daily to ask: "are you happy?". The intersection between aging, maturity, and grace. Taking joy and reveling in life. Protecting yourself and letting people go. Just being. Standing of beauty and goodness. Risking in relationship. Self care in travel, having the eyes of a child, watching a good TV show. Knowing you are enough.

Here are some of the Nigerian artists she's enjoyed listening to recently:
