Ep 14. For when you feel triggered: Core wound stories and feeling our feelings

Tune in and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. 🧡

In this solo episode, I come to you raw and freshly in the emotions of being triggered. I share some insights into how I reframed my mindset to feel better and caught the childhood core wound story that it was rooted in (the enneagram 9 core wound). I share insight into my little “T” traumas, unconscious patterns, my approach to therapy, holistic mind-body health, and tips for feeling your feelings (not just intellectualizing them). Most importantly, I encourage you to have compassion for yourself. 

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! 💕

“Just because I think it doesn’t make it true.”

affirmations below! 💗

This morning I decided to compile some affirmations to call in some goodness. Guess which one led to this surprise bubble party I stumbled upon during my lunch walk! 

✨affirmations✨

🌳I'm open to being surprised and delighted 
🌳 there's the potential for joy around every corner
🌳 it's all fun and games
🌳I'm a magnet for serendipity and magic
🌳 I keep a playful spirit because I'm constantly dancing and playing a game with life
🌳 fun comes easy to me

Would you add any to the list??
