Hello,
I’m Iris Bawidamann.

#UnlockYourAuthenticVoice
This has been on my mind lately. What does it mean to unlock my authentic voice? How do I talk about things that matter to me without creating emotional distance between myself and others?

Sometimes imagining a coming-together feels hopeless.

Dear friends,
Happy April Fool’s Day, which, according to Wikipedia, “is an annual custom on April 1st consisting of practical jokes and hoaxes.” I always think of my Mom on April Fool’s Day.
