Ep 122. The Holistic Psychologist: Why I Chose to Leave My Relationship with a 6-Month Old Baby

In this episode, Ash reconnects with Laura Corcoran, a Holistic Psychologist and mother of three. Just four weeks after a life-altering breakup and with a six-month-old baby in her arms, Laura joins Ash to talk candidly about what it means to unravel, release, and rise.Laura opens up about walking away from a relationship that no longer aligned, the fears and shame she faced in doing so, and the soul corrections that continue to unfold in her healing journey. She shares how victim consciousness, nervous system regulation, and inner child work have helped her break cycles of hyper-independence and self-abandonment.This episode is a powerful reflection on reclaiming power, sitting with grief, and how motherhood can both dismantle and reforge identity. With insight, vulnerability, and compassion, Laura shows how choosing self-trust, even when terrified, can open the door to a more expansive life.The episode highlights are:00:00 Introduction to Laura's Journey02:59 Daily Life and Self-Care Practices06:04 Navigating Change and Transformation08:59 The Impact of Relationships on Personal Growth12:04 Understanding Victim Consciousness14:46 Facing Fears and Making Bold Decisions17:56 The Role of Shame in Personal Transformation21:06 Choosing Your Highest Timeline31:59 Navigating Grief and Emotional Healing40:04 Empowerment Through Motherhood and Relationships44:11 The Victim-Villain-Rescuer Dynamic51:13 Recognizing Needs in Relationships56:01 Personal Growth and Energetic AlignmentYou can connect with Laura through her Instagram or website here.To access your free guided meditations, head to the Freebie Page on Ash’s website ⁠https://www.ashbutterss.com/free-resources⁠Follow and connect with Ash on: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok ⁠⁠Facebook Website⁠ Hosted on Acast.
