Summary
Open wounds in relationships can throw off how we move in the world because it causes us dis-ease not only in our mind, but often in our body too. In this week’s episode, I dig into what it takes to move through relationship unrest when the other person can’t show up, won’t take responsibility, or simply isn’t able to meet you where you are. It's a big and emotional topic, but finding healing and resolution within yourself holds so much power. Once you stop waiting for an apology or a resolution that may never come, you finally start reclaiming your peace. I share personal stories about over-giving, ignoring red flags and staying in relationships long after receiving signs that you outgrew them. Tune in to hear how healing comes from taking responsibility for your own emotional process, practicing self-forgiveness, and accepting people exactly as they are, not as you wish they were.Episode Highlights:Heal without an apology, to take your power back.Healing happens when you feel and release your emotions, not by waiting for time to pass.Recognize your relationship patterns, and what you need to shift to attract what you need now in your life.Quotables:[00:06:45]“ Time does not heal all wounds, what heals all wounds is you actively taking action for your healing. That's what works.
