Episode Highlights: Jem shares her personal healing journey and how her work with the Centre for Healing helped her peel back layers of shame and addiction inherited from her family. She opens up about moving past codependent relationships and addictive behaviors in her 20s, and how choosing sobriety allowed her to invest in herself and plan for a meaningful future. The episode explores how spirituality and practices like mantra singing provided Jem with the connection and community she was craving. Jem recounts a major leg injury as a “loud” message from her body, highlighting the importance of listening to our physical and emotional cues. She emphasizes the power of self-compassion and cultivating a different relationship with internal parts of ourselves, like the inner critic, rather than trying to eliminate them. Jem shares her current self-care practices, including self-touch, journaling dialogues with different parts of herself, and intentionally living life at a slower pace.
