From Surviving to Thriving with Deanna McKellip

Have you ever heard the phrase, you can’t change anyone but yourself?

Different upbringings and life experiences give us each our own identity, but they also highlight the fact that we each learn different skills based on how our parents raised us. This can include survival skills. 

Deanna shares how the transformation of asking “why is this happening for me” instead of asking “why is this happening to me” became a life changing shift in radical self-responsibility, allowing her to feel empowered to seek the lesson instead of stuck in victim mentality mode.

Trigger Warning: We discuss Eating Disorders, cPTSD, and Suicidal Ideation in this episode

In this episode, you can expect Kara, Jack, and Deanna to talk about:

• What transformation means to Deanna and how she overcame cPTSD and an eating disorder to thrive in her business and life
• How your upbringing can influence your life, and how not everyone may grow up with the same tools for basic self-care. How to learn these lessons later in life.
• Why it’s important to listen to your body and be more intuitive, not only when it comes to eating but also living intentionally 
• The importance behind therapy in growth and how radical self-responsibility plays into it
