Wisdom Work with Quanita Roberson

Alton Fitzgerald White is a magnificent musician and author among other traits. In this conversation, Alton and Quanita talk about how to master life's daily performance with an emphasis on commitment and recommitment to areas in which one desires growth. Balancing the yin and yang, the commitment is stabilized with self compassion and rest. Other topics of discourse include how the right communities can influence your mindset and fertilize your growth; shifting narratives of traits that one may have been teased for into gifts and talents. The spirituality all around us exploring the places and things an individual might lean into to recharge. Inviting us to ask that question for ourself. The divine as an advocate for joy and growth and a being big enough to meet us all as the individuals we are.
