HOLY SH*T what did we NOT talk about in this episode. 

My beautiful kind friend Joy graceously shared her Evolution of Healing Journey with me. 

From the moment she realized things were no longer working to changing everything from the way she talked to herself, her boundaries, and her relationship with receiving support there is a little something for everyone in this episode. 

My absolute favorite part was when she shared in look into a very specific journal practice for when she is struggling. I wanted to share these tender questions with you here so you can impliment this practice if it feels nourishing. 

To hear it in Joys voice tune in around the 60 min mark. 

First she shuts out any noise that is sending her messages of not enoughness.

What Are you making this struggle mean about you? 

Who's voice is that, that is saying you aren't doing enough? 

Can you still love yourself if it doesn't look like xyz?

If self love feels inaccessible: Can you find a tiny part of yourself that feels ok with how things are right now? 

Uff. These questions are such good reflective questions.

My least favorite parenting advice as a trauma informed coach is "Just be Present." The idea that all our kids need is our presents is yeah a nice idea, but this advice forgets about a very real trauma response that was necessary to survive. Disassociation. 

So for those of us who's bodies chose to completely disconnect in order to survive(me), "Just be Present" can feel like climbing a mountain. And leave us feeling a lot of shame over something we have little control over. 

So of course we want to take small steps to learning to be more connected and present every day. But shaming ourselves when presence feels hard is not the answer. 

Tune in to hear me (and my little assistant today who is trying to crawl back inside my uterus) chat about why this happens so you can begin to release the shame and stay on the path to healing. 

You are doing great. Parenting is hard. Trauma makes it harder. And that is NOT your fault.

Pareting is hard. Trauma makes it harder. Especially when we have a generational legacy of trauma. That compounded affect often goes un acknowlegded and we end up feeling like we are drowing with the stress of parenting a we don't understand why. 

In this episode I explain how trauma is passed down through generations and how you can start breaking the cycle today through healing.

Do you remember your "awakening" moment of healing? Like you just knew things weren't working anymore and wanted something new?

So I'm trying something new on the podcast...

Today I published my first ever INTERVIEW with another human!

Many of my episodes share practical advice and trauma knowledge but many of the stories I share are my own. Through my lens. And there are so many more people with different experiences on the planet.

My story might hit in some ways but not in others. My intention for these interviews is to present more lived experience that isn't just mine.

Of course I will offer my trauma insight along the way to offer shared trauma informed language to shine light on patterns there are in all healing journeys but there is so much value in stories.

On today's episode my friend Scottie Durrett who is a mom of 3, life coach and fellow podcaster allowed me to ask her some deep questions and even coach her a little to guide her in discovering the next steps in her healing journey.

I of course started the interview with "When did you have your so called awakening?"

I think you may be able to relate to Scotties story in many ways.

Even if her circumstances are different, the way she describes how subtle the nudge to wake the fuck up from "sleeping at the wheel." to her search for community and support and eventually rebelling and stepping into being authentic, is all things we have in common on this path.

You can find Scottie on instagram  @scottiedurrett 

and listen to the interview that Scottie and I did together on her podcast MomPlex here.

Or if you are ready to jump in to getting clear on your boundaries to support your healing, a boundary setting intensive is a great place to start.

https://calendly.com/katerinabarron/boundary-intensive

In this episode I talk about the unique struggle around boundary setting for those of us who identify as people pleasers. On a downswing of emotion that falls outside of our window of tolerance (more on the window of tolerance in episode 31) we fall into freeze or fawn stress response. This tends to lead to little to now boundaries because our survival has depended on not rocking the boat or making other upset. Listen on to learn some simple strategies to help you over come people pleasing through learning to set more boundaries.
