Reclaiming Your Power After a Toxic Relationship: With My Guest, Alicia Rodriguez

My guest on this episode is Alicia Rodriguez, writer and storyteller. Join us as Alicia shares her compelling story about her relationship with a shaman that turned toxic, and how tuning into her intuition enabled her to reclaim her self-worth and leave the relationship. This led her to heal her inner wounds to become able to enter into relationships and navigate life as a whole, healed human being. After a divorce, Alicia met a shaman named Napo and, being a spiritual person, moved to Ecuador to work with him and open a spiritual retreat center. They eventually developed a relationship and Alicia lost herself in it. She recounts her story about how she began to trust her body’s “alarms” and intuition to find her power again, leave Ecuador, and heal. Her advice can help women or men who are in toxic, codependent situations, so they can tap into their courage, enforce boundaries and reclaim their power. Alicia wrote a memoir about her experience which is called “The Shaman’s Wife, A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self-Discovery.”
