In this episode of Revive with Janna, host Janna Johnson delves into the concept of defense mechanisms, exploring their role in our lives and relationships. Janna emphasizes the importance of understanding someone's mindset to truly know who they are, rather than relying solely on their past stories. Through her personal journey of healing and overcoming limiting beliefs, Janna highlights how this self-awareness allows us to identify unhealed wounds in others and recognize genuine healing. Tune in to discover how to become your own wellness advocate and foster deeper connections by understanding the mindset of yourself and those around you.
