40. Let’s Talk About Insecurity & Embarrassment Around Dealing With Your Past. What’s Been Done To You & What You’ve Done Does NOT Define You. But It Does Impact You. (Navigating Through It All.)

Holy Shift! Ready for one?! Book a call with Dani to talk through if working one-on-one with her or working through one of her programs could help you! Click here to schedule! Hello my friend!  Today’s episode was prompted by a conversation I had last week with my friend and Podcast Coach, Stef Gass. Stef’s amazing! We had the best conversation about things that keep us from living up to our full potential. We talked about roadblocks like shame and anxiety. Today, I unpacked my process a bit and I share openly about things that I had to work through, things that haunted me for so long—like sexual abuse and infidelity decades ago before I was married.  I’ve been reflecting all week, and I am sooo grateful how far God has brought me! I used to be riddled with shame and angst about so much. My life and inner world is so much more peaceful now! :)  The 3 steps I mention are: Intentionally acknowledging that we are NOT defined by the things that have been done to us, or things that we have done. — HOWEVER, in the same breath, acknowledge that those things do impact us. *To deny the impact, denies our experience, and can be harmful to our healing. You have permission to process and grieve whatever loss or the impact of your experience in your life. Don’t buy into the belief (lie) that you’re the ‘only one’ who has experienced this situation, OR that you are too far gone or there’s no hope. Buying into that belief/lie, leads us to isolation and despair, a very dangerous combo. So grateful to be with you on this Spiritual inner healing journey!  Other Episode Mentioned: Conversations w/ Therapist Jim Beebe--"Finding Peace When Your World Is Not Peaceful" & Accepting Life on Life's Terms Enjoy today’s episode and if you need prayer, please email us at [email protected] , you are not alone.
