What if your unresolved past hurts are sabotaging your present relationships? Discover how releasing old pain can pave the way for healthier, more meaningful conversations in our latest episode of Have a Cup of Johanny Podcast. I open up about a deeply personal experience of being ghosted by my son's father when my child was just six months old. This ordeal brought emotional upheaval that influenced my reactions in future interactions. By sharing this, I highlight the critical importance of addressing and letting go of past traumas to prevent projecting pain onto others and to cultivate more constructive communication."

"In the second chapter, I delve into the transformative power of empathy and forgiveness. We each live in our own unique 'pods' or personal dreams, and this realization has fundamentally changed how I handle negativity and pain from others. I'll recount a pivotal moment when a simple question—'What would you gain from that?'—stopped me from reacting negatively and instead led to deeper self-reflection. Through the practice of journaling and self-awareness, I explore how understanding our pain and triggers can lead to more empathetic and constructive interactions. Join me on this journey of shameless learning, embracing curiosity, and transforming our approach to communication.
