    Ep# 21: Overcoming the Unforgivable: Steps Toward Sacred Forgiveness

    What if the key to emotional freedom is forgiving someone who will never ask for it?  In this episode, I explore the deeply personal and often misunderstood journey of forgiveness—something I’ve wrestled with in my own life, especially when it came to healing my relationship with my father.  When we choose to release, not excuse what happened, we free up space in our body, mind, and heart for new levels of expansion.  Throughout this episode, I share my experience and the spiritual insight I’ve gained along the way. Forgiveness, I’ve learned, is a gradual process, especially when dealing with people who may never take accountability for their wrongs. This is about taking our misplaced power back and cutting the energetic ties the situation has our hearts, so we don’t continue to fuel more hate into the world. I also dive into the connection between forgiveness and our spiritual growth, touching on how it impacts our journey to a more conscious and empowered life. If you’re struggling with letting go of past wounds, or continue to deal with difficult people, this episode will bring you new insights and ways to grow on your human journey.  Join me in this conversation, and let’s explore how to release the ties that hold us back.

    Ep# 19: Father Wound Recovery: Reclaiming Your Power and Self-Worth

    Did you know that having an unhealed father wound deeply affects your ability to let love in?   In this episode, I share how having an unhealed father wound as a woman interferes with our ability to trust and feel safe with men as adults, essentially blocking our ability to receive the love we crave from the masculine and divine father. I reflect on how distant or emotionally unavailable fathers can leave lasting scars that make it hard to feel worthy of the love we deserve.  I share my healing journey through therapy, trauma work, and the spiritual teachers who helped me dig even deeper into my wounds and reveal the deepest, darknest shadow work I’ve ever faced:  confronting the negative animus.  This is an unconscious masculine energy that sabotages our relationships and projects our wounds onto all of our partners. Putting this energy in its rightful place is essential if we want to call in a high-level soul mate.  Together, let’s explore how facing these wounds opens us up to more love and connection.  I hope to offer you some insights and encouragement on your healing path.  Key Topics: - Understanding the father wound and its impact on relationships - How distant fathers affect our sense of self-worth - My healing journey through therapy and trauma work - The role of negative animus in blocking love and connection - How facing old wounds makes room for divine love - Healing the inner masculine allows trust from the outer masculine Connect with Alicia: Take the “Worthiness Wound Eval” to uncover your wounds and download my guide: “FREE Yourself: How to Dismantle the 3 Most Common Unhelpful Beliefs” on my website: https://www.aliciakaycoaching.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aliciakaycoaching/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aliciakaycoaching Website: https://www.aliciakaycoaching.com  YouTube: www.youtube.com/@aliciakaycoaching Trailer Music Credit Alis Reflective Soul, song “Howl” https://open.spotify.com/track/6FkSVtVl1FZwPRmTKAXLjp?si=401711feb98644d9 Follow:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/3MashZj6a6pGQS3OlU2Buz?si=J8XU-5VyQH6F3Ap0-tzSCw

    Ep# 18: How to Break Free from Self-Judgment and Shame with Alicia

    Are you sick and tired of shaming and judging yourself constantly?  This Alive & Awake podcast episode dives deep into my recent experience where I confronted the shame and self-judgment I unconsciously carried from my past.  Being the alchemist that I am, knowing we cannot reject any parts of ourselves if we want to feel whole, I dove into the healing work.   During this solo cast, I share a powerful dream where I was faced with an energy that wounded my inner child from my father's bloodline.  I revealed the process of working with this part of me who never felt loved, accepted, or wanted as a little girl.  Essentially shaming any part of me that was messy, wild, and imperfect. Something most women can relate to.  If you’re on a path of self-discovery or trying to overcome feelings of unworthiness, this episode is for you. I hope my story helps you look at your own inner child and embrace the parts of yourself that you may have pushed away. Tune in as I share insights and personal breakthroughs that I believe will resonate with anyone looking to connect more deeply with themselves and are ready to get off the shame train.  Key Topics: - How to overcome shame and self-judgment - Why healing past wounds is important for personal growth - How embracing all parts of yourself leads to true self-fulfillment - Why integrating your inner child can transform your life - How to let go of unworthiness and guilt for a happier life - Why living authentically helps you break free from negative patterns - How reclaiming your power can change your relationships Connect with Alicia: Download my free guide:  “FREE Yourself: How to dismantle the 3 most common unhelpful beliefs” https://www.aliciakaycoaching.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aliciakaycoaching/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aliciakaycoaching Website: https://www.aliciakaycoaching.com  YouTube: www.youtube.com/@aliciakaycoaching Trailer Music Credit Alis Reflective Soul, song “Howl” https://open.spotify.com/track/6FkSVtVl1FZwPRmTKAXLjp?si=401711feb98644d9 Follow:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/3MashZj6a6pGQS3OlU2Buz?si=J8XU-5VyQH6F3Ap0-tzSCw
