Healing from infidelity can seem so overwhelming, undefined and unattainable. In this episode, I'll share 6 things that help in the process of healing.

In a simple online search, you can find many varying opinions about how healing actually happens after infidelity. Can it actually be done?

Yes. Listen to understand why some traditional views on healing (such as the saying, "Time heals all wounds") aren't necessarily true if we don't know what to be actively doing with that time. You'll learn how valuable self-compassion is, and more tools to help you process your emotions as you move forward.

Do you ever wonder if you can just feel "good"? In this episode, you'll learn why we aren't programmed to feel good all the time, and why it's actually a positive thing.

Most of us spend our life feeling just a few main emotions, and wonder why we keep getting the same results. When you learn that life is best when we allow both the positive and the negative, doors open up that were once closed. There is literally nothing you won't do if you know you can handle any emotion.

Listen to understand how some of your emotions may be holding you back, how even negative emotions can serve you, and how to feel more of what you want.

If I were to ask you who you are, you would probably answer with some information from your past. Most of us go through life not really challenging our stories - we believe them as fact.

Most of us have long, detailed "scripts" of how others should behave, and when they don't, we get upset. We expect others to follow the script, even if they don't know it exists. This is not only frustrating for the people in our lives, but very frustrating for ourselves because of what we make it mean that they didn't do what we wanted them to do.

Listen to this podcast to understand the difference between making requests of others and having your own back whether they agree or not, and turning all of our emotional well-being over to others. You'll understand the freedom that comes from actually allowing people to be who they are rather than who we want them to be so we can feel better about them and ourselves.

In this episode, I'll help you identify if you're a people pleaser, why you do it, how it is harming you, and what to do about it.

Many of us have false beliefs that we have to say yes to everything, make everyone happy, and not let anyone down, ever. This of course creates so much pressure. And in the end, is not only exhausting, but deep down we know we are letting ourselves down. We may believe that is it loving to pretend like we are okay with things when we actually aren't. If you have been people pleasing for so long that you don't even remember what your own voice sounds like, this is the episode for you!
