Lessons In Letting Go with Michelle Moore

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! I’m so excited to share the next episode in our new series, “Lessons In” featuring Kiersten McIntire. Kiersten McIntire joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about forgiveness, how quarantine allowed her to dive into forgiveness through the lens of understanding ancestral trauma and tapping into our inner child, the power of journaling to a specific emotion, the growth that she’s experienced as a result, and the joy she’s found. Kiersten’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that our choice to forgive someone else is often the greatest gift that we can give ourselves. Kiersten McIntire has been on the other side of kindness and knows how vital cultivating kindness is for living a happy and fulfilled life. After taking many steps on the path of her own empowerment, one of Kiersten's greatest passions is the desire to help all women feel empowered. Considering herself a Forgiveness and Acronym Artist, just as the old masters remade themselves through their paintings, Kiersten reinvents herself through forgiveness, as well as turning everyday words into acronyms, to help you live a more fulfilling and beautiful life. Her intention behind WEST: Women Empowered Stronger Together is to not only share her personal stories on releasing anger and coming into forgiveness but to also create a platform where other women can come forward to share theirs, as well. When a woman heals herself, it creates a powerful ripple effect allowing others to do the same. Obsessed with anything from yesteryear, Kiersten recently started creating retro inspired paintings and artwork. (Launching soon) Kiersten has been teaching hot yoga classes for the last seven years and is passionate about her practice, students, and being a force of change in her community. She lives in Denver, Colorado. To learn more about Kiersten and WEST you can connect with her on her website www.womenempoweredstrongertogether.com on Facebook here and on Instagram @westpodcast and via email info@womenempoweredstrongertogether.com We'd love for you to check out this week's new episode and join the conversation ✨ Instagram instagram.com/seekthejoypodcast Facebook fb.me/seekthejoypodcast Twitter twitter.com/seekthejoypod E-mail sydney@seekthejoypodcast.com  Show Notes: www.seekthejoypodcast.com/show-notes
