Unbroken

When you 'want' something, the universe is more than happy to let you keep on wanting it. Until you take action towards what you want, it will only exist in your imagination.

Everyone wants to make changes yet most everyone never does.

Why?

Fear.

If you let your fear of change stop you, you'll never reach your potential.

If you were to lose your job, your family, your relationship, who would you be?

Would you be you? Or would you be lost?

When your identity comes from things outside you, when you lose them, you lose yourself.

In this episode we talk about looking inside to determine your identity so that it's not dependent on things that can be taken away.

Anger and sadness are really two sides of the same emotional coin.

When we’re sad we feel depleted, joyless, unmotivated, and helpless.

When we’re angry we feel energetic, focused, motivated, and powerful.

Both of these emotions are natural and necessary to experience in your healing journey.

RHE had a way of showing people that they were unbroken, that they had value, and that they were loved. Her legacy of meeting life with humility, compassion, humor, and courage will live on through every person whose life she touched.

One year ago, I wanted to die. The demons almost won. Almost. Therapy saved my life.

Not getting what you want in life, even when you put a ton of time, energy,

and effort into it, can hurt. It can make you feel like the universe is

conspiring against your happiness. You may even think that if it weren’t

for bad luck, you’d have no luck at all.

That’s not true.

Most of the time not getting what you want is a blessing in disguise.

When a relationship breaks, you lose a lot.

You lose friends, family, yourself, and your identity.

If you focus on what you’ve lost, you’ll never find your way to healing.

You’ll also find yourself again. Not the you you once were, but a new you, who rebuilt yourself putting all the broken pieces back together in a different way.

Sometimes sh*t happens. If we were happy all the time, we wouldn't be people, we'd be game show hosts. Honor the negative feelings then switch your mindset by focusing on what's next rather than what happened.

In the immediate aftermath of a tragic loss, your body's natural self defense systems kick in. These are the twin sisters of shock and denial. In this episode learn how to negotiate the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event so you can get on the road to healing.
