EP15 Scratch-and-Dent to Sacred Worth: The Crocheted Dog Miracle

Episode 15: Scratch-and-Dent to Sacred Worth: The Crocheted Dog Miracle

Catch up on the story with Episode 14:  I Called Bullshit on the Meditation—Then Everything Shifted with Brenda Johnston

💡 Episode 15 Overview

What does healing look like when it shows up in a box?
This week, Jax unpacks a hand-crocheted miracle—one that took fifty years to land. Inside that box: a basset hound made of yarn, sent without a card, without a warning, and with more impact than any apology ever could.

This episode traces a childhood heartbreak, a long pattern of scratch-and-dent shame, and the exact moment a gift rewrote the story. Along the way, Jax dives into the mirroring concept, daily Ho‘oponopono, and the emotional boomerang of generational patterns—plus a road-rage reframe for anyone who has ever cursed a stranger behind the wheel.

Episode 15 is about self-worth, unexpected repair, and the freedom that comes when your story breaks open in a way you never planned.

• A childhood tea fundraiser, a crocheted dog named Danville, and the moment that defined a scarcity wound

• Why owning beautiful things felt unsafe for decades—and what shifted

• A totally unexpected gift from Jax’s mother that reopened a closed door

• How humor, pain, and long-held memories carry more mirrors than we expect

• A simple but powerful Ho‘oponopono practice for self-forgiveness and inner-child healing

• A road-rage example that explains why context always matters

• The bridge into next week’s hypnosis guest (board-certified, radically confident)

• The launchpad for the Seven Adopt-a-Nots series—what we pick up that never belonged
