The Tools That Saved Me: A Personal Guide From the Brink | Homecoming Epd 18

from The Paco Podcast · host Sandra Prunsky

There's a story I don't often share. It’s not in the highlight reels—it’s from the year my light went out. I found myself on a cold floor, in a room I didn’t recognize, living a life that felt like it belonged to someone else. All I wanted was one thing to help me catch my breath.If you’ve ever felt that way—overwhelmed, lost, or drowning in your own life—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the three practical, non-theoretical tools that I used to navigate my darkest moments: the Permission Slip, the Somatic Compass, and Vulnerable Reaching. These are what pulled me back from the edge, and they might just be the lifeline you need.CHAPTERS / KEY MOMENTS:00:00- The Story I Don't Often Share01:19- Welcome to Unfiltered Truths02:14- My Rock Bottom: The Cold Floor03:42- What You Actually Need in a Dark Moment04:56- Tool 1: The Permission Slip06:38- Tool 2: The Somatic Compass (Finding Your Anchor)10:15- Tool 3: Vulnerable Reaching (The Lifeline)13:47- You Are Not Broken Beyond Repair14:46- Please Like, Share & Comment Your Tools---🎧 LISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Main Podcast Link:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3Iu...Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2LF3COg...👉 SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Channel:    / @theunfilteredtruthsug  ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:The Unfiltered Truths is where we have real conversations about the heart breaking,beautiful, and messy parts of life.
