The Midlife Awakening That Changed Everything

from Journey to Self: Power Beyond People Pleasing · host Sandy Bartlett

Discover why people pleasing recovery takes decades, not months, and what actually shifts the pattern over time. Learn how a lifetime of self abandonment shapes the spiritual journey toward becoming a shamanic practitioner.In this episode, Sandy tells her personal story for the first time. Sandy shares an unflinching look at the survival patterns laid down in childhood, three marriages shaped by people pleasing, the deaths that opened a door at sixty-six, and the first Akashic Records reading that changed the direction of everything. If you have ever wondered what a real-life spiritual awakening at midlife looks like — not a tidy version, the actual road — this is that account.We follow the full arc of one woman's people pleasing recovery and spiritual journey — from the little girl who learned to disappear, through marriages built on self abandonment, into the loss that cracked the door open, and finally into the shamanic practice that turned her own healing outward into work she now holds for other women. This is for anyone in midlife who is starting to see the shape of their own road and wondering what comes next.#PeoplePleasingRecovery #MidlifeAwakening #ShamanicPractitioner #SoulRetrieval #AncestralHealing #AkashicRecords #SpiritualAwakeningMidlife #WomenOver60 #WomenOver70 #MyStory #JourneyToSelf #SandyBartlettTake the People Pleasing Persona Quiz🔗 https://thesandybartlett.com/quizJourney to Self Community 🔗 https://www.skool.com/journey-to-self-the-awakening-1973/aboutMeet Northstar Noelle — your AI guide for clarity, self-trust, and direction beyond people-pleasing🔗 http://subscribepage.io/NNQKIz This is a public episode.
