What does that even look like?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Ooh, good question.
I don't think it's like alightning bolt moment, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's more like subtle shifts.
You start to see thingsdifferently.
Treat yourself, kinder.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So it's a process, not a destination.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Exactly, and journaling can help you track
those little changes.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Ah, so you can look back and see wow, I've actually

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Love that.
Okay, let's get real Letting goof the past.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Ooh, that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It is One prompt asks about a memory that still
affects you today.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That can be heavy, confronting those old feelings.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, but how do we do that without letting the past
define us?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Right, right, I used to think it meant like
forgetting it all, yeah, butit's more about, I don't know,
integrating those experiences.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Into who you are now.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Exactly Understanding how they shaped you, but not
letting them control you.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
So it's not erasing the past, it's reframing it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, I like that, like taking shattered pieces and
making a mosaic, somethingbeautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Beautiful, but some of those pieces are tough to
handle, you know, like pastmistakes.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Lestallion has a prompt about forgiving yourself.
Why is that so important formoving on?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Because holding on to guilt and shame, it's like
carrying a giant weight.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Weighing you down.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Exactly.
Forgiveness doesn't mean sayingwhat you did was okay.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It means recognizing you're human.
You mess up, but you can learnand grow.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
It's giving yourself permission to evolve.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yes, that's when real healing can begin.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And Lestallion suggests get this.
Affirmations forself-forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Really Like talking to yourself in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Basically, yeah, but they say even something simple
like I am worthy of forgiveness.
Huh, I never thought about itlike that.
It's about retraining yourbrain from self-criticism to
self-compassion.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So it's like planting seeds of kindness?
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And watching them grow into acceptance and love
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You know, I remember when I was trying to forgive
myself after this.
Well, this pretty messy breakup.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh, breakups are the worst.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The worst and I just kept replaying everything in my
head, Like I should have saidthis or I should have done that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh, that's that overthinking spiral Totally, but
I started using affirmationsjust like Lestallion suggested.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So did you actually like stand in front of the
mirror?
Uh-huh, kind of At first itfelt so weird talking to myself
like that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
But then slowly I noticed I wasn't beating myself
up as much.
So, instead of dwelling on thewhat ifs, you were I started
focusing on what I learned fromthe whole experience.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
It's like you were shifting your perspective, not
erasing the past.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Exactly.
It's funny how journaling canhelp with that.
You know.
It's like you're sortingthrough all those messy feelings
, making sense of them givingthem a place to breathe, I guess
.
Yes, and then you can actually,you know, move on.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, so we've tackled emotions, the past.
Now on to something a littlemore fun.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Ooh, tell me.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Self-care.
Lestallion has a whole sectionon self-care and healing.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, but we're not just talking bubble baths, right
.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No, although those are nice.
But Lestallion takes a deeperapproach.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Deeper how.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's about nurturing yourself mind, body, spirit to
support healing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So it's not selfish to put yourself first sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Not at all.
It's like you can't pour froman empty cup.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, I heard that one Makes sense, though,
right.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You got to fill yourself up first, and that
looks different for everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Totally.
Some people need tons of sleep,others need to move their body.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's about listening to what you need and actually
honoring those needs.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Which isn't easy.
There's this prompt.
It asks how do you listen toyour body's needs during healing
?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Ooh, that's a good one.
It's like our bodies are alwaystalking to us.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They are, but we're so busy, so distracted, we miss
those signals.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Like when you're exhausted, but push through
anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yep.
Or when you're stressed andreach for junk food instead of I
don't know a walk in the park.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's about recognizing those needs and
responding with kindness.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Self-compassion right Not beating yourself up.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Exactly Okay.
Ready for the next sectionFinding strength in the journey.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Ooh sounds empowering , it is.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But healing isn't always linear.
You know there are bumps in theroad.
Setbacks for empowering it is,but healing isn't always linear.
You know there are bumps in theroad.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Setbacks, for sure, those are tough.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So how do we find that inner strength to keep
going?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's the million-dollar question.
I think it helps to rememberwhat you've already overcome.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Like looking back at past challenges.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, remembering those moments when you thought
you couldn't do it, but you did.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's proof of your own resilience.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, remembering those moments when you thought
you couldn't do it, but you did.
It's proof of your ownresilience Exactly, and then you
can reframe those setbacks.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Not as failures, but as learning opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's all about perspective.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Love that.
So challenges become steppingstones, not roadblocks.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, every experience , even the hard ones, teaches
you something.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So how do we build that resilience?
Muscle Lestallion talks aboutaffirmations again.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Really what kind this time.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Ones for strength.
Like I am strong, I am capable.
I will overcome this.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Hmm, sounds cheesy, but I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Right, it's like reminding yourself of your own
power.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah that you've got this, just like you overcame
those past challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, we've reflected , let go of the past, embraced
self-care, found strength.
Now what?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Now?
We face the future.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Exactly.
Lestallion calls this lastsection embracing the future.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Okay, I like where this is going.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They ask what does a healed version of yourself look
like?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Whoa, that's deep.
I think it starts with usingyour imagination, really
picturing it.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like the best version of yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yes, after all the healing, the learning, the
growth, who are you then?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Not erasing the past, but integrating it Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's not about being perfect either, so it's about
wholeness, authenticity, yeah,and recognizing that this vision
can change as you do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's a journey, not a fixed destination.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Exactly and that brings us to, I think, the most
important part.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Which is.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Trusting the process.
Trusting the process, that'shuge.
It can be scary, though.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh for sure, Especially when you hit those
bumps where it feels like you'renot getting anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Totally.
But, Lestallion, they've gotthis prompt.
It asks how do you trust thathealing is bringing you closer
to the life you desire?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Ooh, that's a tough one.
It's like how do you have faithwhen you can't see the results
yet?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Right, but I think it starts with accepting that
healing it's not a straight line.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
More like a winding path.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Exactly With twists and turns you don't expect.
It's about surrendering to that, even when it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And celebrating the small wins along the way.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, those are so important.
They remind you that you aremaking progress.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's like those little boosts of motivation to
keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Absolutely.
Think of it like training for amarathon.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You don't just wake up one day and run 26 miles
right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Definitely not.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You build up to it slowly.
With each training run you getstronger, more confident.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Ah, I see.
So with healing those smallsteps, they're building that
resilience.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Exactly and just like you trust a trainer to guide
you through the tough workouts.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You can trust the healing process, knowing it's
making you stronger.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes, it's leading you to a healthier, more fulfilling
life.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
So those small wins, how do we actually like
celebrate them?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It doesn't have to be fancy.
Just take a moment toacknowledge your progress, even
if it seems small.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So, like hey, I got out of bed today, even though I
felt awful.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes, or I chose a salad instead of fries.
Go me.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's shifting the focus to what you have
accomplished.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Exactly.
And those little victories theyadd up, they create momentum.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's like a snowball effect.
Yeah, okay.
So we've got this idea ofhealing being this journey, this
process.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And it's not just about us, right.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh, good point.
Lestallion has a prompt aboutsharing what you've learned with
others.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because healing can be contagious.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Whoa really.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Think about it when you hear someone's story their
struggles, their triumphs.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It can be inspiring, for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And it makes you realize you're not alone.
It normalizes the ups and downsof healing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So by sharing our stories, we're actually helping
others heal too.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Exactly.
It creates this ripple effectof support and understanding.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, so we've talked about confidence, connection,
trust in the process, butLestallion also asks what is one
affirmation that helps youembrace the future with
confidence?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Affirmations.
Those are powerful little tools, I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They are.
It's like planting thosepositive seeds in your mind.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And watching them grow into beliefs.
One that really resonates withme is I am open to new
possibilities and I trust theuniverse is guiding me.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Ooh, I like that one.
It's about letting go ofcontrol, having faith.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, and that surrender it can be so freeing.
You're not forcing things,you're flowing with life.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Trusting that it'll all work out.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Exactly, and sometimes those unexpected
detours lead to amazing things.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh, like when you get lost on a road trip and stumble
upon a hidden beach.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, just happy accidents.
And Lestallion reminds ushealing, it's not a solo mission
.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Right, it's about reaching out, finding your
people.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Your tribe, your support system, the ones who get
it who cheer you on, no matterwhat Exactly that connection?
It makes all the difference.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right.
Before we wrap up, there's thislast prompt that really stuck
with me.
It asks how do you trust thathealing is bringing you closer
to the life you desire?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Ooh, that's a big one .
It's like the ultimate test offaith, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It is Because, even when you're doing the work,
sometimes it's hard to see whereit's all leading.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So true, but I think it boils down to this Trusting
that the process, messy as it is, is unfolding exactly as it
should.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And that it's guiding you toward that life you dream
of Exactly.
It's about choosing to believeeven when doubt creeps in,
Because healing it's not aboutinstant gratification.
It's about showing up foryourself every day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, it's a commitment to your own
well-being, even when it's tough.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
All right, we've covered so much ground today,
inspired by these 50 healingjournal prompts from Lestallion.

setbacks just opportunities tolearn?

Yes, and then you can actually,you know, move on.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, so we've tackled emotions, the past.
Now on to something a littlemore fun.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Ooh, tell me.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Self-care.
Lestallion has a whole sectionon self-care and healing.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, but we're not just talking bubble baths, right
.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No, although those are nice.
But Lestallion takes a deeperapproach.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Deeper how.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's about nurturing yourself mind, body, spirit to
support healing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So it's not selfish to put yourself first sometimes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Not at all.
It's like you can't pour froman empty cup.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, I heard that one Makes sense, though,
right.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You got to fill yourself up first, and that
looks different for everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Totally.
Some people need tons of sleep,others need to move their body.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's about listening to what you need and actually
honoring those needs.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Which isn't easy.
There's this prompt.
It asks how do you listen toyour body's needs during healing
?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Ooh, that's a good one.
It's like our bodies are alwaystalking to us.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They are, but we're so busy, so distracted, we miss
those signals.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Like when you're exhausted, but push through
anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yep.
Or when you're stressed andreach for junk food instead of I
don't know a walk in the park.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's about recognizing those needs and
responding with kindness.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Self-compassion right Not beating yourself up.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Exactly Okay.
Ready for the next sectionFinding strength in the journey.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Ooh sounds empowering , it is.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But healing isn't always linear.
You know there are bumps in theroad.
Setbacks for empowering it is,but healing isn't always linear.
You know there are bumps in theroad.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Setbacks, for sure, those are tough.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So how do we find that inner strength to keep
going?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's the million-dollar question.
I think it helps to rememberwhat you've already overcome.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Like looking back at past challenges.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, remembering those moments when you thought
you couldn't do it, but you did.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's proof of your own resilience.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, remembering those moments when you thought
you couldn't do it, but you did.
It's proof of your ownresilience Exactly, and then you
can reframe those setbacks.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Not as failures, but as learning opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's all about perspective.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Love that.
So challenges become steppingstones, not roadblocks.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yes, every experience , even the hard ones, teaches
you something.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So how do we build that resilience?
Muscle Lestallion talks aboutaffirmations again.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Really what kind this time.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Ones for strength.
Like I am strong, I am capable.
I will overcome this.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Hmm, sounds cheesy, but I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Right, it's like reminding yourself of your own
power.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah that you've got this, just like you overcame
those past challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, we've reflected , let go of the past, embraced
self-care, found strength.
Now what?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Now?
We face the future.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Exactly.
Lestallion calls this lastsection embracing the future.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Okay, I like where this is going.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They ask what does a healed version of yourself look
like?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Whoa, that's deep.
I think it starts with usingyour imagination, really
picturing it.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like the best version of yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yes, after all the healing, the learning, the
growth, who are you then?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Not erasing the past, but integrating it Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's not about being perfect either, so it's about
wholeness, authenticity, yeah,and recognizing that this vision
can change as you do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's a journey, not a fixed destination.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Exactly and that brings us to, I think, the most
important part.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Which is.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Trusting the process.
Trusting the process, that'shuge.
It can be scary, though.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh for sure, Especially when you hit those
bumps where it feels like you'renot getting anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Totally.
But, Lestallion, they've gotthis prompt.
It asks how do you trust thathealing is bringing you closer
to the life you desire?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Ooh, that's a tough one.
It's like how do you have faithwhen you can't see the results
yet?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Right, but I think it starts with accepting that
healing it's not a straight line.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
More like a winding path.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Exactly With twists and turns you don't expect.
It's about surrendering to that, even when it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And celebrating the small wins along the way.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, those are so important.
They remind you that you aremaking progress.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's like those little boosts of motivation to
keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Absolutely.
Think of it like training for amarathon.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You don't just wake up one day and run 26 miles
right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Definitely not.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You build up to it slowly.
With each training run you getstronger, more confident.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Ah, I see.
So with healing those smallsteps, they're building that
resilience.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Exactly and just like you trust a trainer to guide
you through the tough workouts.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You can trust the healing process, knowing it's
making you stronger.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yes, it's leading you to a healthier, more fulfilling
life.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
So those small wins, how do we actually like
celebrate them?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It doesn't have to be fancy.
Just take a moment toacknowledge your progress, even
if it seems small.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So, like hey, I got out of bed today, even though I
felt awful.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes, or I chose a salad instead of fries.
Go me.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's shifting the focus to what you have
accomplished.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Exactly.
And those little victories theyadd up, they create momentum.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's like a snowball effect.
Yeah, okay.
So we've got this idea ofhealing being this journey, this
process.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And it's not just about us, right.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh, good point.
Lestallion has a prompt aboutsharing what you've learned with
others.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Because healing can be contagious.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Whoa really.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Think about it when you hear someone's story their
struggles, their triumphs.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It can be inspiring, for sure.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And it makes you realize you're not alone.
It normalizes the ups and downsof healing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So by sharing our stories, we're actually helping
others heal too.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Exactly.
It creates this ripple effectof support and understanding.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, so we've talked about confidence, connection,
trust in the process, butLestallion also asks what is one
affirmation that helps youembrace the future with
confidence?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Affirmations.
Those are powerful little tools, I gotta say.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They are.
It's like planting thosepositive seeds in your mind.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And watching them grow into beliefs.
One that really resonates withme is I am open to new
possibilities and I trust theuniverse is guiding me.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Ooh, I like that one.
It's about letting go ofcontrol, having faith.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yes, and that surrender it can be so freeing.
You're not forcing things,you're flowing with life.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Trusting that it'll all work out.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Exactly, and sometimes those unexpected
detours lead to amazing things.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh, like when you get lost on a road trip and stumble
upon a hidden beach.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, just happy accidents.
And Lestallion reminds ushealing, it's not a solo mission
.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Right, it's about reaching out, finding your
people.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Your tribe, your support system, the ones who get
it who cheer you on, no matterwhat Exactly that connection?
It makes all the difference.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right.
Before we wrap up, there's thislast prompt that really stuck
with me.
It asks how do you trust thathealing is bringing you closer
to the life you desire?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Ooh, that's a big one .
It's like the ultimate test offaith, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It is Because, even when you're doing the work,
sometimes it's hard to see whereit's all leading.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So true, but I think it boils down to this Trusting
that the process, messy as it is, is unfolding exactly as it
should.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And that it's guiding you toward that life you dream
of Exactly.
It's about choosing to believeeven when doubt creeps in,
Because healing it's not aboutinstant gratification.
It's about showing up foryourself every day.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, it's a commitment to your own
well-being, even when it's tough.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
All right, we've covered so much ground today,
inspired by these 50 healingjournal prompts from Lestallion.
As we wrap up, I want to leaveyou with this Approach your
healing with a sense ofcuriosity, even playfulness.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What if challenges were puzzles to solve and
setbacks just opportunities tolearn?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Imagine embracing the unknown, the twists and turns,
as part of the adventure.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's how you create a life that truly lights you up
.
So grab your journal, pick aprompt and start writing.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You are strong, you are capable, you are worthy of
healing.
Trust the process, embrace thejourney and never give up on
yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Until next time, keep diving deep.
