I’ve had an epiphany – and I’m sharing it here!!

I’ve been healing for years, but just this week I had a lightbulb moment about how we become wired for self-abandonment – and the magical way we can repair! Find a cozy chair and join me as we explore a theory about self-abandonment that I haven’t heard anyone else talk about – what’s really happening underneath the surface and the critical process that can heal this at its roots.

0:59 – The connection between victimhood and self-abandonment

5:03 – What self-abandonment really means (what’s happening inside our consciousness)

9:36 – Getting through something doesn’t make you stronger…unless!

10:52 – THIS is the key to healing self-abandonment

12:42 – THANK GOODNESS for triggers!!

Over the last 8 years of healing, I’ve made my share of mistakes – all painful in their own ways, but all deeply instructive. In this episode, I’m sharing five of the biggest ones I’ve made, how they humbled and shaped me, and ultimately helped me grow. If you’re on your own healing path, I hope these might help you avoid falling into the same traps – or at least know you’re not alone in the winding, imperfect, and humbling journey of healing!
