Transformative Reflections: Bettering Yourself and Understanding Others

"I do 100% believe literally every single situation is a mirror. It's just, it depends upon what it's showing you. Is it showing you the growth that you've come? Is it showing you that this is a lesson that you need to learn from?"

Topics Discussed
  • Self-improvement and personal growth
  • The concept of people around us acting as mirrors
  • Handling emotional triggers and personal reactions
  • The role of others in our personal learning journey
  • Balancing judgment and acceptance in relationships

Boy do we have a treat for you today! We're diving deep into the realities of personal growth and how those around us either reflect or influence our journey. Imagine us sitting in a cozy room, sipping tea, and chatting like old friends about the trials and tribulations of becoming better versions of ourselves. We're unpacking everything from why we attract certain people into our lives to how we react to them, and questioning if it's really about us or them.

"Like it is literally a two-way street."

"You're allowing them to have their own, their interaction. So like, yes, most of those people are mirrors to you. One is just not a trigger for you and therefore you've got nothing to learn from that scenario with that person."

We’re here learning and growing alongside you as we move the conversation forward together from the BS that’s crushing authentic voices and keeping many in a loop of self-destruction. We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward? Alos, anything written or said about diet and mental health are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me, may not work for you. I am not a doctor, therapist, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional.
