SEASON 2 PREMIERE
 
How many of you have done something that you believe is with good intention?  You believe it's a triumph, but in reality it's a trauma response?

In this episode, we talk about that very thing.  How it can be detrimental to our peace if we don't actually define the source of the celebration which can be rooted in self love or self pity. 

Key Takeaways/Notable Quotes:

- 9:16: Being a "Miracle Baby," but not Recognizing Myself As One.
- For my parents, I was always known as their "miracle baby," but I hadn't always celebrated or even been celebrated as such.  That didn't come from them, my parents celebrated me. But I was not always celebrated, nor did I celebrate myself b/c I didn't act like I was a miracle."

11:22 - I told myself and tried to convince myself the day i was born, the day i was told i was a miracle baby, i really wasn't a miracle.  I was just another person on this earth that just so happened to be here. I was just another person taking up space and had to purchase a gift for.

13:52 - "it was my way to create these celebrations to brace what was gonna come. Trying to brace for the disappointment that may happen."

14:20 - "I had to come to the realization that instead of allowing the opportunity to be celebrated, i ultimately robbed my friends and family of that by trying to control the outcome myself."

14:50 - How Self Love Becomes Problematic When It's Actually Birthed Out of Self Pity

15:32 - The Difference with Self Care or Self Love is that it's preventative care. It is care and love and compassion that you are showing to yourself to sustain your well being.  You're doing it just b/c you deserve it.  Not b/c you performed, achievement, or did anything.

17:00 - "What i've learned is we will try to manufacture peace because we don't want to do the real work that it would take to eliminate us from continuing to mask the pain."

17:28 - "Who you trying to prove this to? Me or you?"

17:32 - "We put on the facade so that we don't have to do the real work to sit with the pain of "i'm really putting on this party or showing out like this b/c i'm afraid that if i don't, i'm going to be disappointed."

19:59 - "We as humans will try to mask things with clothes, or jobs or accomplishments to mask the things that are really hurting us."

25:52 - "A lot of Great Things are Birthed out of pain, but if your behaviors and actions are consistently showing up as a result of wounded pain, then you can't be operating in peace."

26:35 Unleash the Peace Method - Proclaim, Evaluate, Articulate, Comprehend, Empower

27:05 - "I was trying to manufacture peace, trying to manufacture triumph, in this situation instead of recognizing it was a trauma response."

29:02 - "How much more freeing is it to know that people love you that much that they want to take the time out celebrate you, because they always say you were the miracle, but you just didn't see it yourself."
