This week, I share the story of my almost 20 year relationship with my ex-husband and father of my child, the man I truly believed was my soulmate, and how I moved through total rock bottom when our marriage collapsed.
I share the hard lessons I had to learn about what I was bringing into the relationship that was not working (things like insecure attachment, low self worth, codependency, and victim mentality) and how I healed.
I also share how I learned to love and value myself, moved into secure attachment, learned about boundaries, and unhooked from codependency. And, how I stopped being a people pleaser and moved into true authenticity.
I also speak about how I learned to navigate conflict, speak truth, and become an empowered empath. There's so much more in this episode, too!
Healing from divorce and hard break-ups is 100% possible when we understand that there is wisdom in the wounds and have support people around us who can help alchemize and learn the lessons that we need to learn.
As always, I share tons of resources in the show notes, including my video lessons on How to Heal from a Breakup and The Trap of Codependency.
