121 - Overcoming adversity, joyfully, with Amy Molloy

Amy Molloy sure knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity and getting through challenging times. As a teenager Amy suffered from anorexia, she became a 23-year-old widow, her second marriage ended in divorce, there is a family history of depression, and her father was paralysed with cancer… Now, Amy is married to her third husband and she has two beautiful children. In her latest book, The World Is A Nice Place, Amy writes about how to overcome adversity, joyfully. In this episode, Amy shares: How she dealt with the death of her husband, grief and moving on after the death of a loved one. How she got past the guilt of moving on and into her next relationship and not letting the relationship with her late husband be brought into the next relationship. The importance of self-compassion. The labels we put on ourselves from our past and whether they are our own opinions of ourselves or the (possibly past) opinions of others, and how they can limit us and impact us in the present and moving into the future. The benefits of storytelling for healing. Perfectionism and how to challenge your inner critic and self-talk. Her experience with past life regression and childhood regression therapy.
