Happy Women's Month.

This series is a 4 weeks long (4episodes) series where I get to have conversations with some of the wonderful everyday people I had the opportunity to meet and are my inspirations in life.

Everyday I am Inspired by how as human beings we are able to rise above all odds that were against us and like phoenix rise from the ashes that were meant to bury us & show up liberated and more resilient than ever before.

My hope for this series is that we would have genuine open conversations where we are able to learn from each other and hold space for joy and healing and to know that; even in suffering, we are worthy of love, peace, joy and freedom.

The book is written by Dr. Edith Eva Ever, a holocaust survivor of Auschwitz. She is 92yrs young and holds a doctorate in Psychology.

She discuss 12 techniques to help you break out of your personal prison and find freedom to live your best life, no matter what your past experiences were.

Throughout the whole book, all I kept saying to myself is, I can't believe that Dr. Eger could have had a past like she did and still be so positive and encouraging to others today! I also kept on reflecting to my own life experiences and getting a chance to actually revisit my own past and unlearn while learning to give myself the gift of forgiveness and grace.

The Key note in this book for me are:

· The ultimate key to freedom is to keep becoming who you truly are

· Forgiveness is the gift you give to yourself.

Without giving away too much on the book, I will be sharing with you 6 lessons that realy resonated with me from the 12 lessons shared to save your life from The Gift.

Once upon a time ( sometimes I still am),  I was a major people-pleaser — a real pushover. I didn’t know where other people ended and I began, and my decisions were based on what would make other people happy or comfortable. I thought this made me easy going, likable, and generally pretty cool.

On today's episode I get to discuss people pleasing traits and how they have affetcted me in my life. I get to dive into understanding this concept, the quencequencies related to it, factors that come in play when we are living with it and tips on how to overcome people pleasing traits.

Hope you enjoy and let me know how you have found the episode.

with love,

Grace

On Today's Episode, I reflect back on how the book Authentically Uniquely, You: Living Free from Comparison and The Need to Please by Joyce Meyer Help me heal my past trauma's and teach me new ways of dealing with comparing, competing and people pleasing.

You will meet a young Grace and an Adult Grace in this episode, who from reading this book, they managed to come into terms with self acceptance, self forgiveness and feeling their feelings while letting them go when the time is right.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I was recording it and I hope you take a part of it and use it for your healing too.

I would like to here from you and how this episode is helping you.

Sometimes heading in a new direction can be scary until you realize you’re headed toward a new and exciting destination. You might have expected a particular outcome or your well-laid plans did not come to pass as expected. Though frustrating, Life doesn’t always go according to plan and it can be difficult to take comfort in not getting what you want at times. Think back to a moment when a life situation did not turn out as planned – imagine the details as best you can. There may have been an expected outcome you had hoped for. You may have witnessed your well laid-out plans crumble before your very eyes. Take comfort because you’re not alone. On today’s episode we chat to a 3rd year Medical Student at Wits and an entrepreneur, Emmanuel Bope and we tackle one of the anticipated topic ‘’ Life beyond plans we make and challenges we face”...hope you enjoy it as much as I did
