In this episode of the Soul-to-Soul podcast, I delve into the importance of allowing ourselves to receive help from others, especially as women over 50. I share personal stories about how my belief that I had to solve all my problems alone stemmed from my father's death when I was nine. This belief led me to shut myself off from the possibility of experiencing God's work through other people.

I discuss how this mindset only works for so long before realizing that we are meant to receive help and support from others. I emphasize the need for a healthy balance between giving and receiving, and how both are gifts that can lead to personal growth and transformation.

00:04:08 - Learning to Receive
The importance of learning to receive help and love, and how it connects to self-love and balance.

In this episode of the Soul-to-Soul podcast, I, Patrice Baker, delve into the complex world of emotions and how they impact our lives, especially for women over 50. I share my personal journey of dealing with the trauma of losing my dad and how it led to deep-seated anger, jealousy, and grief. These emotions often put me on automatic pilot, causing physical and emotional distress.

I emphasize the importance of managing our emotions to achieve what we truly need and deserve. I explain that emotions are imprints left in our bodies by significant events, and they can be triggered by similar occurrences, leading us to react in familiar but often unhelpful ways. I encourage listeners to focus not just on negative emotions but also on positive ones like joy, love, compassion, and hope, which can help us navigate challenges more effectively. Tune in for wise woman talk, insights, and resources to help you move beyond fears and regrets and start living the life you dream of.
