From Darkness to Light episodes

  • Parent-Child Relationship Gone Wrong
    Sometimes the dynamic in the family changes in an unhealthy way, and the child becomes the parent and the parent becomes the child. Out of guilt a parent can become a victim, and the child takes the place as the superior in the family. This interferes with the dynamic and makes the natural flow of love and affection impossible. Listen how this can play using my own present life as example, and what can be done to shift the relationship into a more healthy one.

  • Social Media Pressure
    In todays episode I explore the pros and cons of social media, the connection and social side versus the addiction and isolation. Does all the time we spend on social media elevate our level of happiness, or does it bring us down? Is what makes us happy the small dopamin kick that we receive or is it the connection to other people? To be an addictive personality on social media is equipped with a hidden risk that many of us don't recognise as "everybody does it".

  • The Freedom of Choice

    Are we always able to chose what we know is the best? Can we chose to make the right decisions at times when we struggle emotionally, financially or mentally? Can we be judgemental and tell that sobriety, veganism, environmentalism or even kindness is a choice available to everyone.

    I don't think so. Listen to my new episode "Freedom of Choice" on my podcast From Darkness to Light, available on iTunes and Spotify.

  • Live and Let Live - To not let Your Opinions Hurt People
    Can we have strong opinions and not voice them in public to avoid hurting people? Do we really create change by pushing our beliefs onto other people? In this episode I share about the practice Live and Let Live and how we can stop belittling our fellow human beings for not thinking the way we do.

  • Hurt People Hurt People - Taking Responsibility for Your Pain
    Life is relationships. If we instead of shutting dow and cutting people off when we are hurt, see the pain we feel as a gift and act from there, we can heal and change. Hurt people hurt people and create a chain reaction that can be lethal and lead to self harming and detructive behaviour. In this episode I share about ways to reduce the separation and increase the love and growth.

    In this weeks episode Shama explores into the concept of success and how it has changed because of social media.

  • Recovery to Restore the Sanity of Humanity
    In this weeks episode Shama shares about recovery, from addiction to codependency and relationships. To recover means to find something, to discover somethings that is missing. When removing all the ways we escape from pain, we slowly restore our sanity as humanity. The work we do with ourselves have a ripple effect on our whole society and everyone needs to do their part.

  • Friendship - Healing Your Wounds to Become a Better Friend

    In this episode I share about how our wounds can be obstacles in friendship. I share how we can notice signs of wounds and work on healing them, instead of braking up or blame the other one for us hurting.

    Friends are angels who come into our life and follow us for shorter period of time, or for life. They are great learning experiences on how we can heal and become our true selves and can support us in our growth. Good friends are manifestations of love in our lives.

  • Therapy - Transforming Shadows from the Past into Gratitude and Forgiveness

    What if all that is real in the past is all the love we gave and all the love we received? What if going into therapy can help us reveal all the love we received in our childhood, instead of only seeing the mistakes and the errors? What if going back into our past, we can atone and take responsibility for mistakes done, and change the present and the future?

    In this weeks epsiode I share about how therapy can make us see the past with new eyes and how we through atonement can transform past hurts and mistakes into gratitude and forgiveness.
