Creating Inner Sanctuary: Najwa Zebian on Building a Home for Your Soul
Remember to come back to yourself and remember that it is a lot harder to discover who you are than it is to say I wish that never happened, because again, the power is outside of you and you say: well, I can't erase what happened.
Imagine finding a sanctuary within yourself, a place where you feel completely at home. That's what Najwa Zebian, an activist, author, speaker, and educator, talks about with host Eric Zimmer in this episode of 'The One You Feed'. Najwa has recently launched a digital school called Soul Academy and hosts her own podcast, 'Stories of the Soul'. She’s also well-known for her TEDx Talk, 'Finding Home Through Poetry'.
In this conversation, Najwa dives into her latest book, *Welcome Home: A Guide to Building a Home For Your Soul*. The book encourages readers to look inward and find what truly matters to them, rather than focusing on external validation. Najwa shares her journey of learning to see herself through her own eyes and not through the expectations of others. One of the key themes she touches on is self-acceptance.
Najwa emphasizes that choosing to live by your own choices, rather than by societal expectations, is crucial for personal growth. She also talks about the power of forgiveness, not just towards others but towards oneself. Discovering who you truly are and getting clear about your values and desires is another important aspect she discusses. Najwa provides practical steps for living authentically and setting boundaries with toxic people.
