The warm steam of the sauna envelops me as I relax my body, feeling the heat penetrate deep into my skin. My mind wanders to memories of summers spent in Greece, where the sun beats down relentlessly and the air is thick with humidity. As a child, I would spend hours playing on the beach, chasing after seagulls and building sandcastles that were constantly destroyed by the tide.

Growing up, my mother would often tell me stories about our ancestors who lived in Greece centuries ago. They were strong-willed women, full of life and passion, with beautiful, dark hair and skin kissed by the sun. She said they were fearless and unapologetic, never afraid to express themselves or speak their minds.

As I sit here in the sauna, surrounded by the sweet scent of essential oils, I feel a sense of peace wash over me. My body relaxes, my muscles releasing all the tension they've been holding onto. The heat from the steam makes my skin glow with a warm, golden light, and for a moment, I feel like that fearless woman my mother told me about - unapologetic, beautiful, and full of life.
