Grammy and the power of choice, codependency, fear, spirit, love
Chris encouraged me to post this publicly instead of exclusively on our show's Patreon. He said it's important. Some of my more personal stories feel more contained there than on the iTunes feed. Big breath. He's right. I hope there's something useful to you in the complexity of the story. It's about love, respect, personal choice, spiritual connection, letting go while in fear & unknown, and calling & dealing with some very real shit. Thank you for holding space for me within my vulnerability & truth.
Recovering People Pleasers and Mindset Motivation to own Big Days
This week's episode feels like a PSA for People Pleasers. It comes out of the countless times I have held space for clients who's families have absolutely ruined their big days with chaos, negativity, competition, shaming, control issues, demanding their way, manipulation, drama tornados and passive aggressiveness. If you struggle with energy vampires or come from a moderate to severely dysfunctional family, you might want to give this a listen before planning your next big day or celebration.
The Concept of Waiting and Checking in with your Inner Child
So. I want to offer a check in with your inner child and a sneaky little powerful trigger for HSPs and Survivors within this pandemic. If you grew up with uncertainty, emotional/physical neglect, spiritual disconnection, high tension, high fear, high stress, and feel a general sense in life of waiting for the other shoe to drop, then I'm feeling called to create this episode for you.
