An authentic life that you don't need to defend. That's the goal of this tribe. And we're not going to get there by stopping those who come for us. We'll get there by not being bothered when they do.
When your life doesn't look like others think it should...when we carry the shame of feeling like we don't measure up...when we're battered and bruised from the fight to move forward...it creates a hunger for validation and a heightened sensitivity to cruel comments.We can't change them, but we can change us. How does that begin? We may be tempted to shrink back or armor up, but the real work is looking at the areas that hurt, and ask ourselves why they do. Pain points to areas that need healing. My friend Amanda Carr and I have had several conversations around that. In this Bonus Episode, I'm letting you listen in on one of them. Amanda discusses co-dependency and its impact on the nervous system, about smashing her own limiting beliefs, and of absorbing the wisdom of people like Gabor Mate', Jay Shetty and Brene Brown. This discussion is far-reaching and may hit on points that deserve to be looked at more deeply. But for now, I'm sharing it with you because this musician and life coach offers so many pearls of wisdom that have helped her process her own pain, and I hope you find something here that will help you as well.
