Ep 56: The Stories These Scars Hold

We're taught to erase our scars, that they get in the way of our beauty and perfection. What's been coming up for me that led to this episode is the wisdom that scars are the physical manifestation of the lives we've lived. They are a part of the stories our bodies hold. They can be evidence of both our pain and growth.  I wonder if as souls we ever held the intention to not go through pain. Or was the intention to have the storied life we're now experiencing that has the potential to lead to deep levels of growth? What are the stories we get to tell? What are the stories that our scars now tell? This is a "free-flow" episode, creating room for the thoughts and insights that have been emerging. I hope you find it inspiring or expansive 💖.    Some Resources I Mention: Movie: The Woman King Book: Journey of Souls by Michael Newton Briefly, Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur ----- More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, traumatic pregnancy or childbirth, or missed opportunity to become pregnant.
