In this extremely open conversation, Meghan "Meg" Thomas - coach, podcast hostess, and breathwork facilitator - joins KJ on SOAL to share her deeply personal story publicly for the first time.
Meg and KJ touch on themes of identity, reclamation, and the power of storytelling. Their dialogue serves as a catalyst for further discussions about fertility, adoption, and donor-conceived children. Welcome to the transparent, heartbreaking work of unearthing for reclaiming.
Compassionate Considerations:
🌱 How do you check back and ensure your intuition is correct?
🌱 In order to feel emotions, you move through them.
🌱 The body always knows the truth; even if our minds are unwilling to see it yet.
🌱 Permission to feel all the emotions including shame, betrayal, grief, and anger.
🌱 Ingredients for shame: secrecy, silence & judgment. The antidote is transparency and the willingness to dialogue.
🌱 Be brave enough at this moment, to take the next action.
🌱 Self-compassion includes allowing you to uncover your medicine for yourself (which is medicine for The World).
April 27th is International Donor Conception Awareness Day
