My Healing Journey (Part 1) - How it started with me realizing I was the toxic one in my last relationship and how I needed to change in order to keep a relationship Fall in Love With Your Life

In this episode, I dive into my healing journey and what initiated that journey. I start off the episode by giving some context around what/how I’ll be sharing. I share some questions from “What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing” a book by Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey. After reading this book it really helped me see what happened to me and why I was the way I was. It gave me permission to see my trauma without making it about my mom or dad. I also dive into how this all started with my previous partner telling me he didn’t want to marry me and that would mean that I wouldn’t be able to stay in the country. It was my wake-up call to really see who I was and how I didn’t want to be that person. It has now been about 4 years since that conversation and it was honestly one of the biggest gifts my partner could have given me because for the first time I had to take a look at myself which actually helped me become someone who feels worthy (at least sometimes). My intention, as always, is for anyone listening to feel less alone and to spark some compassion for yourself or others.
