In today’s special episode of Bossing Up Overcoming OCD, I sit down with Malisa Heppner, host of the Emotionally Unavailable podcast. Malisa shares her transformative journey from hospice social worker to a renowned therapist and podcast host. We discuss the challenges she faced, including childhood and religious trauma, and how she built self-love, trust, and boundaries. We also dive into women's issues like generational trauma and societal programming. Plus, Malisa opens up about the powerful moment of gratitude towards herself and the ongoing process of self-compassion. Join us for an authentic conversation that could light up your path toward self-growth.
