What happens when the love you seek only leads you deeper into the wounds of your past? Tina’s story is one of breaking free—from generational trauma, rigid family dynamics, and the suffocating grip of narcissistic relationships.

Raised in an environment shaped by emotional, physical, and spiritual control and abuse, she found herself caught in a cycle of toxic love, where love bombing and trauma bonds felt like home.

In this episode, Tina unpacks how deeply ingrained childhood patterns can shape our relationships, leading sensitives to be drawn into the illusion of love offered by narcissists.

But her story doesn’t end in victimhood. By shifting her perspective, recognising the soul contracts at play, and reclaiming her power, Tina stepped into her sovereignty—no longer a product of her past, but the creator of her own reality.

Join us for a raw, eye-opening conversation about healing, self-ownership, and the path to true freedom.

Silencing the inner saboteur is crucial for neurosensitives on their journey of healing and self-empowerment.  By cultivating mindfulness and developing a deep understanding of one's triggers and thought patterns, we can gradually quiet the relentless voice of the inner critic. It is crucial for us to acknowledge that self-worth is intrinsic and does not rely on external approval !

Taking the time to nurture self-worth and embrace self-love is a transformative journey that requires introspection and commitment. Through this process, neurosensitives can unlock their true potential, and find a sense of empowered balance and inner peace.
