Can I be real with you for a second? Healing isn’t always pretty. 


It’s messy, confusing, and sometimes it feels like you’re completely lost. I’ve been there, sobbing on my guest bed, wondering if I would ever find myself again after my marriage ended. And then you take one small step forward, then another. Sometimes you take two steps backward before you can take another step forward. 


This episode is all about healing, growth, and discovering who you really are so you can reclaim yourself one step at a time. One of those important steps is to stop abandoning yourself for others. 


My conversation with fellow adoptee, coach, therapist, Julie Brumley is rich and heartfelt. She shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma, healing from a painful divorce, and learning to truly belong to herself.


What you’ll learn:


  • How paying attention to your body can help you stop abandoning yourself and feel more connected.
  • The signs of self-abandonment and how to connect them with the sensations in your body. 
  • The difference between ego and intuition, and how to trust your inner voice.
  • How big life changes, like divorce, can open the door to new purpose and freedom.
  • The importance of slowing down and how to feel more grounded. 


If you’re looking for inspiration or practical ways to heal and grow in the new year, this episode is for you. 


Tune in and let’s grow together! 


Love,

Laurie
