Passed Over Again
Best for: professional disappointment and self-worth
When a promotion, recognition, or opportunity goes to someone else, the temptation is to minimise the hurt and carry on. This session resists that. Drawing on self-compassion and somatic grounding, it guides you to feel disappointment at its actual size, without collapsing under it. You will practise sitting with what stings, locating steadiness that doesn't depend on being chosen, and leaving with something more durable than forced optimism.

Warm and unhurried, with a low steady ease, the slow exhale at the end of a long day.
