XO Higher Self: Advice and Healing

Bunny Michaelwww.bunnymichael.com
BIPOC and queer inclusive self-help advice for a new generation- hosted by artist, author and spiritual teacher, Bunny Michael. Each episode Bunny guides a different listener to their "higher self perspective" on topics that include relationships, queer issues, race, grief, healing, sex, career, dating and more. Your Higher Self is who you are beyond your Learned Hierarchical Beliefs (LHB)- a term Bunny coined to describe the criteria our culture uses to judge some people as more worthy than others. By bringing LHBs into your awareness, you access the power of your Higher Self, creating a new reality of joy, success, confidence and healing.Connect With BunnyInstagram: @BunnyMichael @XoHigherself
