In a world where parent shaming and blame are all too common, I wanted to sit down with my good friend Chantelle Nelson for an honest conversation about moving beyond blaming our parents for what we did or didn’t receive in childhood.

Together, we explore the concept of reparenting—what it means to give ourselves the love, care, and nurturing we may have missed. We discuss the delicate balance between extending compassion to our parents and taking accountability for meeting our own emotional needs as adults. This conversation dives deep into the complexities of childhood experiences, trauma, and the evolving relationships we have with our parents.

We share personal stories of reparenting, reflecting on the journey toward emotional healing and integrating the parts of ourselves that feel broken or forgotten.

Chantelle Nelson is a Therapeutic Life Coach with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and trauma certification. She’s also the host of the Own It podcast and someone I’ve had the privilege of calling a dear friend for the past nine years.

Research shows that when we feel good about ourselves, we make better decisions. But let’s be real—how often do we reach for comfort in food, alcohol, or shopping to escape pain? Spoiler: it leaves us feeling numb, stuck, and yep, the hangover is real.

Enter self-compassion—a life-changing practice that can transform how we relate to ourselves. Like a kind midwife guiding us through pain, self-compassion doesn’t 'fix' us. Instead, it reminds us to breathe, stay present, and reconnect. In our hardest moments, it gives us what we need most: comfort, connection, and the reminder that we’re never truly alone.

In this podcast, I’ll dive into:

• What self-compassion is—and what it isn’t
• Understanding self-hatred
• Building shame resilience through self-compassion
• The latest research on self-compassion
• Common objections and misconceptions
• A look at the theology behind it

I don’t know about you, but this year, I don’t just want to talk about transformation—I want to live it. I want to lead a life where my body, soul, and spirit are fully aligned. We live in a time where we are inundated with information, yet we struggle to embody it.

Transformation isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about consistent practice, intentional repetition, patience, and self-compassion. In this solo episode, I explore what it truly means to live an embodied life and how to break free from cycles of self-sabotage.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• How language and pattern recognition help us understand and navigate our experiences.
• The difference between proving yourself and embracing true transformation.
• The essence of embodiment and why it’s essential for lasting change.
• The nature of self-sabotage and the influence of the subconscious mind.
• How to move from awareness to action using the four stages of competence.

Join me on this journey to cultivate greater coherence, embody meaningful change, and align your mind, body, and spirit for true transformation.
