When You Feel Behind

A short spoken piece by Ana Mael for when you feel behind in life. There is no timeline to meet here. You can listen without measuring yourself against anyone else.
Ana’s work centers on somatic presence and emotional dignity. In this short spoken piece, she uses a slow and grounded tone to support moments of uncertainty or tension. There is no advice offered and no performance to follow. The voice itself becomes the container. This is a space to rest, not to improve.
