Like the saying “once burned, twice shy,” a healthy relationship can be hard to trust if you’ve been burned in the past. The best relationships might even bring up more resistance because they can feel like unfamiliar territory. 

But one of the best things we can do to heal from past scars is to lay our defenses down and be open to allowing love and all its potential beauty the chance to come in. 

This episode is about not allowing yourself to push away something great, just because you’ve painted everyone with the brush of your past pain. Having the bravery to trust the growth and healing you’ve emerged from so you can fully receive the love of a healthy relationship. 

In this episode, we’re talking about:

  • Healthy relationships
  • Vulnerability and leaving our comfort zone 
  • How to heal from bad relationships
  • How to be ready for love
  • Why we’re attracted to chaos
  • Building self trust
  • An exercise for confronting fears
  • The risks of love
