Tragically Beautiful episodes:

March 01, 2024S1, E18 - Savoring a Beautiful Life
Welcome to episode 018 of the Tragically Beautiful podcast. In this episode, you will find so much wisdom, encouragement and hope to empower you to take back control of creating your best, most beautiful life. Join me as I have this amazing conversation with abuse survivor, wife, mama, business owner and author, Cielo Bradshaw.
Key takeaways:
Look at your wounds as allies, not as enemies

Although it’s very difficult to think this way, look for the ways in which you may have contributed to your situation so that you don’t repeat the pattern in the future

Self-love is giving yourself the space and understanding that people’s behavior who mistreated you or hurt you has nothing to do with your identity

When you heal your wounds it is connected to taking your power back and living the life that was made for you

January 15, 2024S1, E15 - Beyond the Scars: Childhood Trauma, Fatherly Abuse and Forgiveness
Welcome to episode 015 of the Tragically Beautiful podcast. In this impactful episode, join me and my friend Frank as he shares about his experiences with childhood physical abuse. He’s dropping some advice that is solid gold so you don’t want to miss this one!
Key takeaways:
You don’t want to let your trauma become your identity

Forgiveness, which is an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger is more for yourself than your abuser - and does NOT necessarily mean reconciliation

Boundaries in your relationships - and defending those boundaries are so important for your healing

Sometimes the therapy we need is, by nature, exactly opposite of our own nature - and that’s ok!
