Part of adopting yourself is taking full responsibility for your joy and healing. 

With all that is going on in the world today, especially with the spread of the coronavirus and all the unknowns and uncertainties related to it, it is important to remember that although we might feel fear, we do not need to operate from fear. 

Each of us must take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, our reactions, and our interactions as we do so with a little bit more precaution than in the past.

We either transfer something or transmute it so instead of transferring fear to one another let's shift it into a higher vibration. We are capable of transmuting our fear into love so let's give ourselves permission to fully feel the fear around uncertainties and unknowns, move through it, and transmute it into gratitude, compassion, kindness, and love

We're all in this together, one human race all around the world, let's spread more love as we move through this pandemic together

Our scars shape us into who we are yet sometimes we neglect honoring them in a way that's best for our growth.

Ali shares her journey in learning how to honor her scars, particularly the one from her closest near death experience which happened exactly five years ago this week.

Part of Ali's journey in adopting herself has been transforming into honoring and respecting her body, a practice she continues to deepen on a daily basis.

In celebration of life and in honoring the progress she's had in adopting her experience, Ali shares details of her biggest physical scar, a partial peace sign scar covering her belly, that she received after an 8.5 hour surgery where half her liver and her gall bladder were removed due to a cyst the size of a softball creating a home in her liver.

This experience shook her to her core and was a pivotal moment in her spiritual awakening and how she now approaches life.

Learning to honor your scars and love them for what they are will transform your life.

Self-compassion is one of the most important practices for us to cultivate and practice on a daily basis, especially when we’re moving through challenging times

Ali shares her journey to a daily practice of self-compassion, with tools on how to acknowledge and embrace your inner critic as well as adjusting and reframing thoughts so that you stay in the present and shift into positive self-talk

And remember — have patience with the process + with this beautiful journey we call life!

Through this unedited, open, and briefly interrupted episode Ali shares about transformative losses, shifts, and deaths that she’s experienced along with the learnings and love that were gained from each of them.

Change is inevitable, as is loss, as is death. It’s what we do when we are faced with each of these circumstances that builds character, community, and a stronger appreciation for life.

Each of us experiences all of these at some point in our lives which is why it’s even more important for us to have open conversations about how they impact our lives and to ask for help when we need some extra love and support.

Any change, shift, loss, or death is a reminder to be more grateful for life, to spread more love, and to live in each present moment.

A brief introduction to host + adoptee Ali Jameson along information on what it means to Adopt Yourself. Adopt Yourself was initially started as a coaching program she created + facilitates, yet Ali soon realized it was so much more than just that, it's what she's been actively doing her entire life as she's been learning to accept + love herself. 

Ali has taken her learnings, knowledge, expertise, healing modalities, + experiences into sharing them through her new platform, message, + offering to the world on how to heal, accept, + love yourself, just as you are. You don't need to be an adoptee to adopt yourself, anyone can do it!

Adoption is a subject that is sometimes hidden, even to the adoptee themselves. In past generations it was uncommon to have conversations about  adoption + Ali is bringing adoption awareness into everyone’s lives by sharing her stories + giving other members of the adoption triad a safe space to share their stories through conversations that heal.

By listening to this podcast you’ll learn about adoption from all sides of the adoption triad + you’ll walk away with self-healer tools so that you know how to Adopt Yourself + transform your life by accepting, choosing, unconditionally loving, + prioritizing you!

Adoption doesn’t happen overnight, neither does adopting yourself. As we journey through life we uncover + learn more about ourselves, who we are, what we like, + desire yet sometimes we run away from accepting the parts of us we don’t initially love. Adopting yourself is complete self-acceptance through self-compassion + learning to love all parts of yourself, just as they + you are.
