Have you experienced a toxic relationship, romantically or with a parent? Do you struggle to trust yourself and have poor self-esteem & self-worth? Are you ready to finally  feel better and level-up in life for GOOD?

In part 1 of this series, I share my own story in hooking up with and separating from a narcissistic/sociopathic ex-partner & the key lessons that I learnt about him and myself through this process.  

I also share 5 signs of toxic relationships:

1. Regular blame-shifting
2. Criticism, demeaning or belittling remarks
3. Encouragement to isolate
4. Broken promises & false hope of change 
5. Feeling drained and on edge

Intrusive thoughts. Those pesky if not downright distressing thoughts that seemingly appear out of nowhere and rip us away from any sense of calm. We all have them. We just often don’t discuss it because we feel embarrassed or ashamed. And that’s the EXACT reason why I am discussing it on this podcast! (You know me, I don’t shy away from the real talk ;) 

In this episode I share my own huge wake-up call during a low moment in Australia in 2020 during the time I was separating from my narcissistic-ex partner. A wake up call to how exactly my thoughts were impacting my emotional wellbeing and only causing more suffering. You’ve likely been there too, during a time of high stress in your life. 

I also share what you can do to navigate intrusive thoughts in your own life. Clue: Trying to suppress these thoughts does NOT work (in fact research shows it only makes it worse). Instead, we discuss grounding, meditation, mindfulness, acceptance, distanced self-talk and a couple of quick psychological hacks. 

If you’d like a copy of the free 5-minute mindfulness meditation, DM me the word “meditation” over on instagram and I’ll send you a link to where you can download it.

TW: Discussion of suicide & self-harm

We all naturally want to avoid feeling ‘negative’ emotions but if you bravely dare to face the shame, guilt & fear you have stored inside, you will unlock more joy, freedom & inner peace than you’ve ever known. In this episode you will learn the relationship between fear, guilt & shame, how to process these heavy feelings in your body, what is waiting for you on the other side of your fear and the 90-second rule that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 

This week’s guest is self-love embodiment coach Jessica Piff, also known as “Jess the Love Coach”. Like myself, Jess’ spiritual awakening and starting over was sparked by the lows of narcissistic abuse. It woke her up to her deep-seated insecurities and lack of self-love. But it catalyzed a transformative journey of self-discovery. Fast-forwarding a few years she is now married to a kind & caring man, living it up on the party island of Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand and living a life full of love, purpose and inner peace. She shows you what is possible.

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to trust the process? (And how & why you should do it?) Have you wondered how to strike a balance between making decisions, taking action AND allowing life to unfold naturally? Do you find it difficult to let go of control and cultivate a deeper sense of trust in the universe? 

If so, this emotional, intimate & heart-warming episode with my former spiritual psychotherapist Dr Mia Quinlivan is for you!

We also discuss spiritual awakenings, how to deal with inner resistances, where the personal development/spiritual growth industry is going worryingly wrong, how the universe gives you signs (and where the ego can lead you astray). 

Dr Mia Quinlivan is a gentle, compassionate soul who reminds you of your unconditional worth, your innate perfection, and why you need to take it a little easier on yourself. We laugh, we cry, we question.
