In this week's episode I discuss the difference between story and feeling and how to get to the other side of a highly sensitive broken heart as quickly as possible. Healing is learning to love ourselves through the toughest of human feelings while letting go of the stories that bind us. How and why I allowed myself to open up to love again after 2 divorces.

Heartbreak, Trust, and Resiliency

Hosted by psychotherapist Nikki Eisenhauer, M.Ed. LPC, LCDC, International Life Coach, Licensed Professional Counselor, Yoga and Meditation Teacher. Emotional Badasses are survivors, thrivers, seekers, and healers! This show provides essential emotional education on topics such as Mental Health, HSPs (Highly Sensitive People), narcissists & manipulative personalities, healing from trauma and PTSD, calming your nervous system, inner child work, and setting healthy boundaries. Expand and awaken to your higher purpose, be more present and authentic, find strength in spirituality, quiet the monkey mind of modern society with meditation, and connect deeply with yourself and safe others. We let go of what doesn't serve us to heal old wounds, find our voice guilt-free, and learn to be the hero in our own story, embrace guerrilla self care, and laugh with lightness on the self development path. This show is designed to mindfully be the emotional education so many of us crave; emotional badass is where we learn to love ourselves without apology. Emotional Badass is where Moxie Meets Mindful.

Master the Art of Stillness: A Guided Meditation for HSPs

We look at the chilling realities of grooming and child sexual abuse as we unpack the disturbing revelations from the Max Nickelodeon documentary, "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV." It highlights the exploitation and abuse of "Drake & Josh" co-star Drake Bell, and details allegations of toxic behavior behind the scenes on some of the most popular Nickelodeon shows of the time, which were run by a man named Dan Schneider. Drake Bell's story and the 'Quiet on Set' documentary shed light on the systemic issues of child abuse within the entertainment industry and Hollywood. We explore the mechanisms of grooming, the impact on victims, and the often overlooked bystander effect that allows such child abuse to continue unchecked. Drawing on insights from child sexual abuse survivors and experts, we offer strategies for healing and empowerment for those affected by similar traumas. This exploration is not just about uncovering the dark truths but also about providing a beacon of hope and understanding for highly sensitive people and anyone on a journey of self-improvement and seeking to safeguard the innocence and wellbeing of children in a world where their vulnerability is exploited.
