🎧New PODCAST alert 🤍
Zeva Bellel invited Seymour Projects Founder MELISSA UNGER on her podcast. You’ll find the episode description below; if you’re drawn to listening, we hope our conversation will be useful to you:

--------
Our culture is fixated on growth and moving us out of any form of inertia. But this conversation with Melissa suggests there’s a lot to celebrate in the fallow, neutral space of a woman’s life, when a metamorphosis is happening out of view. And that the discomfort of moving through this in-between phase, especially for a life-long overachiever (like she is 💯), is worth it!

Highlights of the conversation include:

🔸Why our society pathologizes inertia
🔸Why the in-between feels so icky when you’re in it
🔸Moving from mind-over to body-driven intentions
🔸How capitalism perpetuates the feeling of “not enough”
🔸Identity shifts after moving home after a decade in France
🔸Why fallow is a fertile phase of invisible growth
🔸Embracing all emotions, like a full color palette
🔸How art and creativity impact personal growth
🔸The power of intentional spaces and neuroaesthetics
🔸The importance of feeling heard and understood
