1 out of 3 adults experienced some form of mistreatment by their parents or caretakers in their childhood. If you clicked on this video, you may be one of them.

BUT as children, we didn’t understand that our parents did mistakes.

As children, we thought, it’s our fault, that we got mistreated.

We concluded that we are wrong if we get neglected, abused or abandoned as a child.

Today’s episode is a reminder to wake-up from that illusion that we internalized for years and decades.

- Today, you will understand, that it wasn’t your fault, that you were neglected, abused or abandoned. 

- You will truly feel, that you are beautiful, the way you are

- And you will learn how to break free from all the burden you might be carrying today
