25) Navigating Love while Self Healing: A Story of Not Letting Trauma Interfere with Love

This weeks episode is a VERY personal, vulnerable share where I talk about how my husband and I have cultivated a loving relationship, despite my many "failures" in my past. Having grown up without learning how to regulate and honor my own emotions, I found relationships difficult. Not just intimate, but also with friends (which I don't talk about in this episode).  Join me in a reflective breakdown of how I navigated the hard parts of my childhood and overcame patterns and behaviors that were not serving me in adulthood. All of this healing & development was difficult. It was imperfect. And I'm still working on it. BUT I've managed to find a life partner and a love connection that has given me the opportunity to go inward as I take full responsbility for healing the parts of myself that needed repairs.
