Rumi — 'Recognize that unlearning is the highest form of learning.'

I remember the day I read that quote. It somehow struck me to the core and awakened something in me. I realized at that moment that while all my efforts of learning about trauma, shame, addictions, and the healing process were beautiful, I needed to focus just as much, if not more, on unlearning.

Unlearning the things that others told me about myself. Unlearning the way that I thought relationships worked and what love looked like. Unlearning how I saw myself and what I believed about myself. And most importantly UNLEARNING THE BARRIERS I HAD TO GIVING MYSELF PERMISSION TO LOVE MYSELF.

In this episode, we take a look at the following:

• The principle of unlearning in wisdom literature 
• The importance of unlearning in healing
• What is unlearning?
• How can we and how do we unlearn?
• An exercise in unlearning
• Being teachable and humble in unlearning
• Letting go of what we think we know
• The gap between letting go and relearning
• How do we relearn?

I am so grateful you are here, and I hope this episode serves you in your journey.

What comes to mind when you hear the words self-love? Do images of people acting arrogant or prideful pop up in your mind? Do you have fears that if you practice self-love, others will judge and label you?

Have you defined self-love in such a way that you feel like you will never be worthy of it?

The meaning and the stories that we have about what self-love is and what self-love isn't need to change so that we can be free to unconditionally love ourselves.

In this episode, we take a practical look at the definitions we have around self-love. Many of us have limiting beliefs about self-love that are blocking our ability to practice it.

I am grateful you are here,

We have all heard the research about the benefits of gratitude. We have been encouraged to keep our chins up, be grateful for what we have, and keep a gratitude journal to remind us of how blessed we are.

 But what happens when you can't see to find it in you to practice gratitude? What happens when the trauma you experienced puts you in survival mode, and you don't seem to have any capacity left for gratitude?

 In this episode, we take an honest look at the following:

•          How trauma impacts our ability to practice gratitude

•          The benefits of gratitude

•          Practical tips for how to practice gratitude

•          Learning to be grateful for yourself

•          A 7-day gratitude challenge

 May you know that I am truly grateful for you and that you can find the space within yourself to live in a spirit of gratitude.

I am grateful you are here,
Jerry

In this first episode of several episodes to come on the lessons that I learned while living nomadically, I share my experience and struggles with practicing solitude. 

Solitude is something we often avoid, but it can be the very thing we need to truly understand ourselves and what we need to heal. 

Solitude can be uncomfortable, and that is okay; in fact, that discomfort is part of what we need to release the pain that is inside of us and let go of the things that are holding us back. 

I hope this episode can help you in the practice of solitude as a way to hear your own soul speaking to you and to understand what you need on your journey. 

I am grateful you are here,
Jerry

As a trauma survivor, I had no idea how much my experiences were impacting my ability to have self-esteem. One of the messages that trauma can send us is that there is something wrong with us. 

This message can significantly impact our ability to have and build self-esteem. 

In this episode, we take a look at the following:

• Understanding what self-esteem is and is not
• How trauma impacts our ability to have self-esteem
• How self-compassion can help us in building self-esteem
• Learning to build self-respect
• How having and keeping boundaries leads to greater self-respect
• Why keeping our promises to ourselves is so important
• Speak to yourself with respect
• Pushing ourselves to try new things
• The gift of serving others in building self-respect

I hope this episode can help you see that your struggle with self-esteem isn't because there is something wrong with you but because it is a natural result of the trauma you experienced. You can build the self-esteem and self-respect you desire. 

I am grateful you are here,
Jerry

One of the most painful things we can experience is a broken relationship with ourselves. Our relationship with ourselves often becomes broken by trauma and other painful life experiences. When that relationship is broken, we become separated from love and, most painfully, our own love. 

Learning to love ourselves is a process. The first part of the process is understanding that we are worthy of love and then identifying the barriers that we have to loving ourselves. 

In this first episode of a two-part series on how we can find permission to love ourselves, we take a look at:

• Our relationship with ourselves
• How that relationship gets broken
• The barriers that we have to loving ourselves
• How we can begin to overcome those barriers

I hope that as a result of this episode, you can begin giving yourself permission to love yourself. 

I am grateful you are here,
Jerry

If you struggle with anxiety, it can be at the very least disruptive, if not debilitating, in your life. If you have tried various methods to get control of your anxiety and nothing seems to have helped, then you might want to try the practice of meditation to help you on your journey.

In this episode, we take a look at how meditation can help us with anxiety by allowing us to:

• Be more present and stop being fearful of the future or regretting the past
• Sit with the feeling of anxiety instead of pushing it away
• Get quiet so we can hear what anxiety it trying to tell us
• Observe and become more aware of what we are feeling and why we are feeling it

I hope this episode can help in your journey and that the insights shared bring hope to you in learning to heal the parts of you that are getting your attention through anxiety.
