Ep 36: Practicing with Betrayal (Part 1)

I am very excited to be bringing you a two part series on PRACTICING WITH BETRAYAL! The inspiration from this series was born out of thoughts I was having about the sticky situations in our lives. How do we practice self-care and wellness when we are in a tremendous amount of emotional pain, or conflict with people we care about? I realized that one of the most painful emotions I personally have ever experienced is BETRAYAL. I have found it incredibly freeing to know that there are ways to work with painful emotions such as betrayal so that we do not have to remain imprisoned in our pain. I hope you enjoy this series, and I would love to hear your insights and personal stories! PRACTICING WITH BETRAYAL - PART ONE I am so happy and thankful to introduce you to Karilily McClure. Karilily is a mama to 3 wonderful, wild children, wife and partner to her beloved hubby Joel, a yoga teacher, a student of life and spirituality, and she's also a business owner!
