Thao's Continued Bio: "In my artwork, I explore different varieties of flowers in my work and bring me back to my family's garden in my childhood home or being my mom's hand model when she was practicing nail art on my fingernails while she was preparing for her California manicurist license. The whimsical abstract gestures and diverse color schemes she used then are very much present in my work today. The feeling as a child of being so small like a bug and being lost in a garden is an experience I hope my mural can create for others. In my spare time I love developing passion projects that intersect with social justice, spending time with my family and exploring the best food the world has to offer. My end goal is to be able to touch as many peoples' lives as possible through my art and to inspire others to go after their dreams." 🎙️ Highlights: 🌿 Deep dive into the dynamics of generational healing and the impact on our well-being. 💖 Thao's affirmations on self-worth and deserving love that fosters growth, not fear. 🌟 Share your thoughts on generational healing in the comments! 🔗 Connect: Follow Thao: @thaofrenchart Website: https://mindfulmurals.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @thethoughtfulbeast Discover more affirmations: https://thethoughtfulbeast.com/produc... 🎧 Subscribe: Don't miss out on empowering conversations!

What do you want to let go of this year? This setup is something I wanted to use for my YouTube videos for a whole year, and I only started making videos for YouTube again the other week. One thing I want to let go of as 2020 ends is the hate and pressure I put myself when I actually accomplish things but not in the time that I wanted to do them. I don't mean like eff deadlines. I mean just accepting that there are other things in life you have to prioritize first and that's okay. I also want to be more kind to myself and celebrate when I finish something, not punish myself. It's something I do that I realize probably hurts my confidence and motivation to do more in the future. It also goes along with letting go of "social time expectations" in general, whether they are set by me or others. With that I mean having children, getting married and all those kinds of things. I don't want those things right now, and though I am usually okay with it, I want to let go of the doubt that comes to me when I see others doing those things.
