What small step can I take today to release guilt or shame?

What affirmations can I write to remind myself of my inherent worth?

Loved our conversation today and I hope it blesses you <3

I was listening to part of a talk by Gabor Mate. He is the expert on trauma and addiction. His talk was discussing how addiction can stem from childhood trauma.

When we are told as children that some emotions are not to be expressed or are unacceptable, at a young age we tend to hide parts of ourselves in order to gain the acceptance and love of our caretakers. This means our survival as a child, but not as an adult.

As adults we can still struggle with showing our emotion and being our "true selves" at the cost of love, acceptance and belonging. When we sacrifice our true self, we suppress life itself.

Let's review! You've heard of a LIFE review? Well let's start with just one year. Last year.

Where were you one year ago? How far have you come? Where do you want to be this year? Who do you want to become?

We can set course to where we want to go after knowing from where we came. Let's review last year and notice how we feel about what lies before us; what do you desire and how do you feel about it?

In 2025 I am living authentically. And I'm here to coach you into living your authentic life also.

It took six years for me to come to a point of not wanting to live "inauthentically" any longer. I couldn't hide my truth anymore and I was willing to face whatever guff I got from anyone who learned I had an abortion. I'd rather have that than continue another day living a lie and hiding what I had done.

The same thing is happening to me today as I depart from the Christian faith. I am choosing to live authentically to what I believe to be true rather than pretend to be something I'm not. And 2025 will be me living this out openly and freely.

If you're ready to live authentically in 2025 then let's coach. Don't wait another year. Message me to get started.

The thing we did when we chose our abortion was use our brain. Against perhaps our "better judgement", what we knew to be right or wrong, what was socially acceptable, against what people around us might say or think, we chose abortion believing it was what we needed or that it was the best thing for us at the time.

Listen in as I explain why our abortion decision in a way is quite commendable.

Join me for Bitter Sweet December 18th

Long title, but that is what we GET to do. After we have chosen to love ourselves now and through whatever happens in our future regarding whatever.

If you're going into the holidays feeling anxious about your abortion in some way, listen to today's episode and request to join my telegram channel. I'm here for you darling <3

Girl. I will tell you in this episode, we need to stop judging ourselves.

If we feel guilt, shame, regret, it's because we have a judgment in our mind about ourselves; about the way we think it SHOULD be and because it's not, we feel bad.

Listen in to also hear again about unconditionally loving yourself instead of betraying yourself via the decision of changing your mind about your abortion after it's already done.

Let's connect

To "go back on yourself" after having your abortion and wish you hadn't done it is to essentially betray yourself.

As much pain as you may be going through after your abortion, betraying your own decision is not going to help. It's not the right thing to do even though it feels like we are lead to.

Listen in to today's episode and decide to UNCONDITIONALLY love yourself and support your decision instead.
