The Rise Up Thriving Podcast Kristina Hudson

Let's talk about how we move from survival to thriving. 
 
In this episode we talk about moving from survival mode, to surviving the day-to-day to stepping into your ideal life.
 
What does it take to move beyond your comfort zone?
 
"How can I start to relax that control? How can I start to move away from a sense of rigidity to a sense of flexibility, a sense of softness?"
 
I would love to hear from you.

Nowadays, I feel like we are taught that we should validate ourselves rather than seek validation from others.
While the idea of external, superficial validation is likely more harmful than beneficial, we tend to miss the mark on the positive impact of validation in the right relationship.
Creating space for validation in our relationships, particularly our intimate partnerships, allows for deeper connection, intimacy and meaning.

When many ask, "Why didn't you just leave?" they fail to understand the complexities that come with leaving a narcissist or an abusive relationship.
There is a very real thing called post separation abuse. 
It has been reported that the most dangerous time for a partner to leave is a 72-hour to 2-week window. 
If the abuser gets wind that the victim is preparing to leave, it can be incredibly dangerous and even potentially fatal. 
If you are attempting to leave an abusive situation, make sure you have a plan.

"Study after study shows having a good support network constitutes the single most powerful protection against being traumatized." - Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score.
Building off my last conversation on the podcast with my friend Katie Rogers, your relationships can serve as the greatest support or your greatest detriment.
Take the time to evalulate your relationships. 
Check out this episode to determine how to audit those who get the most time and energy from you and if they deserve to be a part of your inner most circle.
 

In this episode, we discuss when we each made a decision to leave a narcissistic relationship. 
 
In three of the relationships discussed, we had varying levels of awareness around narcissism and we identified the emotional challenges we were forced to overcome.
 
We revisit the narcissistic cycle of abuse, the ways you can feel sucked back in and the lessons we learned along the way.
 
"You can listen to yourself and decide what you are and are not willing to put up with. And if you believe that you only get one shot at this life, you deserve to feel the way that you want to feel in this life; you deserve to find your happiness, your empowerment. You get to decide your experience and you don't have to justify that to anybody."
