Goodbyes and the Law of Attraction 2021
We practice saying goodbye to what no longer serves us. We learn to let go of worry for the sake of worry. We let go of covid strategy stressing, let go of perfectionism, of caring what other people think, of people pleasing tendencies, of fear of loneliness, denying intuition, and influencer enabling of dysfunctional ideals. We instead give a happy hello to 2022, and practice the law of attraction to start manifesting the healing we want.

Parenting as an HSP While Healing
In this week's episode I discuss why vs. how as a healing tool of action in healing, identifying the holes that childhood trauma creates so that we no longer trip into them as people and as parents. We explore choices not power struggles, owning our human flaws, owning reactivity with a simple plan, exploring what we model for the children who watch us, understanding the roots of manipulation, helping a child find their assertive voice.
Worry and the Emotion Thesaurus
Exploring the physical, mental, emotional signs of worry as well as worry as weather. When worry is normalized we can no longer separate worry from living, worry from loving, etc..

Trauma Dumping and Bad Therapy
In this episode, we break down the impossibility of trauma dumping on a professional therapist and how to take care of your sweet self with compassion if you recognize that past trauma and struggle seems to flood out at inopportune times. You are worth deep self compassion and emotional self acceptance as you walk your healing journey.
