In today’s episode, Chris is joined by Shurooq Amin, a multi-disciplinary artist, poet, curator, Web3 pioneer, mentor, activist, and mother who's successfully challenged the conventional norms and boundaries in Kuwait. Shurooq's journey is a testament to the enduring spirit; from her transformation from an emotional artist to one charged with political themes, to her groundbreaking role in an NFT exhibition in Saudi Arabia. Shurooq’s story of breaking barriers and empowering others amidst the social and political climate of Kuwait is a story that's as moving as it is inspiring. Her experiences growing up in a caste system, coupled with her unique morning habits and her habit of self-love, form a riveting narrative that you won't want to miss. Finally, we explore Shurooq's practices in overcoming past trauma and nurturing self-love. Through habits as simple as brushing her teeth with her non-dominant hand, to the profound act of looking in the mirror and saying “I love you”, Shurooq's journey is a testament to small wins, love's importance, and the power of a growth mindset.
