Loving Kindness Everyday

In this episode of "Loving Kindness Everyday," I discuss my personal experiences. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode delves into sensitive topics that may be emotion or upsetting for listeners.⚠️ I believe that by honestly sharing our stories and connecting, we illuminate the shadowy corners that shape shame and begin to realize that we are not alone - don't have to be scared of "them" or our feelings... or anything at all really - especially not the feelings and opinions of people who don't support your Journey. I'm your host, Kindness Calloway, and in this is "Loving Kindness Everyday" the "everyday" is one word not two - like basic, everyday, normal, totally average --- and this is one such episode, it features everyday language and a story that I'm learning more and more is far too "everyday/common" as well...

and that is sexual trauma. During this episode we will courageously and boldly explore some of the darker moments of my own life—ones I'd honestly prefer to just sweep under the rug and forget about all together.

But that's sort of the point... anyway since we all would rather not talk about it. I'll do it for the lot of us.

As I recount a specific part of my journey—not my defining moments but something that was a significant part of my journey - you'll hear my tale as I told to my ex-partner, Sarah during a recorded phone call. Later, joining the voices will be Jocelyn Vaughn, a survivor of human trafficking and sexual abuse, and an advocate within the community who also called into to the show.

Early on, you'll glimpse a discussion with Jon, a trauma specialist whose voice will become familiar in future episodes.

We acknowledge Jessica Bradley, a beacon of hope and healing. As a licensed therapist an a Saprea, staff member, Jessica offers expertise in clinical mental health, trauma-sensitive yoga, and EMDR therapy to support survivors of child sexual abuse. Saprea's mission is to provide a sanctuary for healing, offering resources like retreats and educational webinars to empower individuals on their journey to recovery.

Bienvenidos un episodio especial de nuestro podcast, diseñado para brindar calma, paz, serenidad y domir.

i want to encourage you to turn off the screen on your phone

and just

be * breeeeeeeatheeee

close your eyes.

Take a deep breath. 😮‍💨

And know that this moment is for you

There's nothing to fix, nothing to do, everything is perfect for you...

Right now. (believe it.)

(it's something to embrace)

quiero animarte a que te relajes

Y solo

respirar cierra tus ojos.

Tomar una respiración profunda.

Y saber que este momento es para ti

No hay nada que arreglar, nada que hacer, no hay nada que resolver o ordenar, en esta momento todo es perfecto para ti... Todo está bien. Todo está perfectamente bien.

//// Esta es una experiencia auditiva inmersiva, y el uso de auriculares aumentará considerablemente tu disfrute de la experiencia.///

Our affirmations for this version are loosely inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's book "Blink" which a friend of mine discussed with me of recently (shoutout ☺️Anne at Edison bikes ATL) affirmations are powerful for personal growth and confidence. the book "Blink" by Gladwell really delves into the realm of rapid cognition and unconscious decision-making, highlighting the significance of intuition and adaptability in our daily lives.

Our affirmations today draw inspiration from these principles, encouraging us to trust our intuition, embrace uncertainty, and ignite our passion towards success.

(Nuestras afirmaciones positivas están inspiradas en el libro "Blink" de Malcolm Gladwell, que explora cómo tomamos decisiones rápidas y confiamos en nuestra intuición.

Estas afirmaciones nos recuerdan la importancia de confiar en nuestra intuición, aceptar la incertidumbre y tener pasión por alcanzar el éxito. Nos ayudan a crecer personalmente, a ganar confianza y a adaptarnos mejor en la vida diaria.)

*Affirmations: at this point in the show you will hear the following affirmations wash over you in various waves at different times and in different ways. It's a good time for you to NOW close your eyes and affirm the following affirmations with Me as We fall asleep, together.*

Intuition and Divine wisdom guide me confidently. I always make good decisions.

La intuición y la sabiduría divina me guían con confianza. Siempre tomo buenas decisiones.

I embrace uncertainty as a pathway for Advancement. I am constantly, effortlessly, Magnetically - attracting all that I desire into my life with each calming breath that I take.

//Acepto la incertidumbre como un camino para el avance. Estoy constantemente, sin esfuerzo, Magnéticamente, atrayendo todo lo que deseo a mi vida con cada respiración calmante que tomo. //

"I am successful in all I do. My success is fueled by passion and enthusiasm. I am continuously achieving my goals."

//

¿Por qué tengo tanto sueño de repente? ¿Por qué tengo tanto sueño? tengo mucho sueño.

Why am I so sleepy all of a sudden? Why do i feel just so sleepy?

Thank you for tuning in to today's episode! Remember, you have the innate ability to trust your Intuition and let Divine Wisdom dictate what you do each day.

I tried to fall asleep last night to be sleeping episode I made, but it kind of bothered me. I kept getting woken up by voices so I decided to redo it. Sort of this is just a sleep program in the background you're gonna hear voices and talking, but it shouldn't wake you up and it says things like, " I love how the Universe already knows what I want and has worked everything out for me."

" I always get what I want. "

" I love how I don't have to wait to get what I want."

" Loving Kindness surrounds me."

"People are always so nice to me."

" how everything always works out so well for me"

" I'm so sleepy. I feel so good and calm and relaxed right now."

etc.

…basically it's just a bunch of power thoughts that I like to listen to at night time to fill my next day with joy and positivity and divine synchronicity so I am gonna share it with you. Also, I'll encourage you to listen to the intro and contact me about the Emily project as I'm going to be doing a giveaway and asking you beautiful people to choose the person who receives red and blue bag.

also I had to put Malcolm Gladwell in the name again just for fun because I was gonna stop podcasting that day that I met him. It really filled my heart then learning about him and his work. I think it's really great. He's my tipping point. I'm going to speak into existence our Great friendship… and you know I met him just after meeting Matt who won an Ambie …and you know ambien is how many Americans get to sleep, so… you know. Whatever. I'm here for a good time. Let's go.

also I hope this helps you fall asleep,"ambien free" and also Matt and I agreed about me winning that Ambie so (you know. That's Done ✅)

that's all I have to say.

have a good day and check out my sponsor page on kindnessthekid.com help us out 😉

ps. A Divine shout out to Kevin Garcia who held the door open for me at the coffee shop and walked right into my Divine Synchronicity. I love it baby. I really do!

This is the follow up episode I posted after meeting Malcom Gladwell "randomly " this is the real sleeping episode..dedicated to dearest Daris (and Hunter too).

March is manifestation month so here are your affirmations for first class travel and love.

Anyone who is a fan of Robotic Affirming this is for you to dance to while you see yourself basking in the Sunshine while enjoying your first class vacation in Bora-Bora.

This was created with loving by Kindness Calloway, Loving Kindness Everyday with a special thanks for GarageBand and all my loving fans. Thank you for your continued support it means so much to me. <3 KiC.

Welcome to the Loving Kindness Everyday podcast, I'm your host Kindness Calloway.

Join me as we embark on a journey of affirmation and manifestation, infused with the powerful energy of Jesus. Throughout this month, we'll delve into affirmations and mind-clearing audio sessions to empower your manifestation efforts.

As Joel Goldsmith wisely said, if the mention of Jesus offends, we can substitute it with a term that resonates, for the essence remains potent. I've personally found immense strength and efficacy in invoking the name of Jesus in my affirmations, so I encourage this, because it works! There is power in the name of Jesus when used in conjunction with our Minds.

Our Minds possess incredible power; they shape our reality and manifest our deepest desires. Through repetition and Belief, we can harness this power to manifest All of Our Righteous desires and see positive outcomes in our lives - even from seemingly impossible situations.

Consider the remarkable phenomenon of the placebo effect, where belief alone can heal and transform. By immersing ourselves in these affirmations, we can rewire our brains to align with our true desires, bringing them into fruition.

I invite you to join me on this transformative journey, where together, we'll cultivate a mindset of abundance, healing, and manifestation. May you find peace, joy, and fulfillment as you embrace the power of affirmations, especially when rooted in the name of Jesus. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Welcome to the episode 12.2 Loving Kindness Everyday podcast remix with your host, Kindness Calloway (@KindnesstheKid) in this episode, we remix and represent the deep into the powerful topic of traumatic abuse and forgiveness.

Jocelyn Vaughn

Jocelyn is the amazing host of "Eye Am More: A Podcast for Survivors," where she tells stories of how people overcome trauma and fight for mental health. If you want to know more about Jocelyn and her awesome work, check out the links below.

After listening to her podcast episode called "Surviving the Sunken Place," and I was blown away by how much I learned from it. As someone who has been through trauma, I know how important it is to keep learning and growing from it. It's like going to the gym, you have to do it often to see the results!

One thing that Jocelyn said that really stuck with me was "connect with your village." She meant that we need to reach out to people who care about us and support us, no matter where we are in our healing process. In this episode, she also talks about how we should get help before things get too bad. If we wait too long, we might hurt ourselves or others, and that's not good for anyone. She also reminds us to respect ourselves and our limits, and not let anyone cross them. Jocelyn Vaughn's message holds invaluable wisdom for survivors and those overcoming adversity. I encourage you to heed their wise words and proactively apply them in your life.
