Growing up in dysfunction, we often cling to certain behaviors to shield ourselves. But once recognized, how do we engage with these coping mechanisms in a more healing and positive manner? In this continuation episode, Tammy steers the conversation towards finding healthier alternatives to the coping mechanisms we’ve learned. By reflecting on the balance between immediate and long-term mental health, we dive into techniques to convert mechanisms like “Denial” and “aggression” into productive healing tools. The episode emphasizes the role of mindfulness, recognizing triggers, and the value of seeking professional intervention when the path gets tough. Tammy provides not just insights, but tools that can add to your personal healing journey. We invite you to check back next week and continue this healing journey with us.

Whether you're fresh out of your toxic environment or in your seventies and feeling like it is time to finally take back control of your life, NOW is the time. Healing knows no age limit.

Tammy shares her own limiting beliefs she had about therapy and the moment she realized that she needed to get support. From surviving unthinkable hardships to struggling with the concept of unconditional love, Tammy finally understood that she couldn't do it alone. The truth is, growing up in a dysfunctional family has sadly become the norm rather than the exception, so why should seeking help be any different? Tammy believes everyone deserves to break free from the damage done by their upbringing and live a life defined by their own choices.

Coaching provides you accountability, support and love, and this podcast is a community to support that. Let's break free from the shackles of our past and step into a brighter, more empowered future. When does your journey to healing start? Right now!

People often wonder what it's like to work with a transformational life coach. What exactly do we talk about? There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Healing is a complex process, and it looks different for everyone. Tammy’s theory is to meet her clients where they are at every day, no matter where that may be.

Join Tammy as she takes you through a typical day, all while sharing a story that highlights the complexities of the healing journey. A story where they uncovered a woman’s deep-rooted cause for fear of flying. Healing is about uncovering deep-seated emotions and addressing them compassionately. There are different modalities that can be used such as mindfulness, NLP practices, EFT, reframing, grounding, meditation, but most importantly,  you need a safe, supportive space to dive into your emotions and discover your authentic self.

Every day will be different, and that's the beauty of it. With support you can create a plan and be ready to adapt as life throws its curveballs because the final outcome is your personal freedom in every aspect of your life.
