Vinh Le
Seeker of Positivity : Compassion : Kindness. On a Quest to cultivate a space to share uplifting stories of people and why they do what they do.
Today I had a wonderful conversation with Shawn Coleman a Professional Cuddler, boundary coach, speaker, platonic touch practitioner in Chicago IL. really gearing her mission to invite people to step into their power during her sessions for them to clearly state their boundaries and truly ask for what they need from hugs to deep conversations to the space they want to be in. She regularly facilitates queer and poc specific events. Shawn is truly passionate about diversifying the cuddle and connection movement. She has been featured on the Jam TV Show, YouAndMeThisMorning, WCIU, and to countless other media telling her story and the impact of her mission. I have to say I myself had a session with Shawn and saying that it was amazing was not enough. She was respectful of my boundaries, caring, loving, and really gave a space to feel comfortable, expressive, and be able to feel connected. It was awesome! So to have Shawn on the PositiveLeo show to share her story is truly amazing, SHAWN welcome to the Show :)
