    My son was bit by a cobra!!! 🐍 Oh no wait. It was only a copperhead. Listen in as I recount a recent incident involving my son and how prioritizing my well-being helped mitigate its emotional impact, emphasizing the importance of practices like meditation, journaling, and breath work in fostering inner peace.✌️

    The choices we make daily can be pivotal in managing our emotion 😊😭🤣🥰🙄, especially in the midst of family crises. Listen as I share practical examples, such as handling my mother's panic over my son's snake bite and dealing with the financial💵 stress of missed work without letting these situations overwhelm me.

    Not just by focusing on mindfulness 🧘‍♀️and building habits to manage stress, can we can regain control over our emotions and maintain a balanced perspective. More specifically we need to pay attention🚨 to our daily choices and have regular check-ins 🤔with ourselves.

    This heartfelt conversation not only invites you to prioritize your self-care but also encourages you to join our community, "Healing Her Childhood," to connect with others on a similar journey. Tune in and take the next step towards healing and emotional resilience.

    PS: I call the snake a cobra at least twice. Haha! TV really has me linked up to cobras. 😂

    Ever wondered how guided meditations can help you navigate the intricate impacts of complex trauma? On today's episode of the Hidden Healing Podcast, we dive into the transformative potential of these practices through a deeply personal lens. I recount a challenging hike where a guided meditation brought unexpected emotional clarity and growth. Discover how these meditations can foster self-compassion, address specific stressors like financial anxiety, and even help you uncover repressed memories, all while setting the stage for significant personal healing.

    We also explore the nuanced relationship between childhood trauma and financial literacy. Drawing from vivid childhood memories, I reveal how my upbringing and the environments I grew up in shaped my perceptions of abundance and security. Learn how trauma can disrupt learning and strain relationships, particularly around money management, and why safe spaces and practical tools like journaling are essential for healing. Tune in to hear about my journey from scarcity to abundance, and how community support plays a crucial role in this transformation. Plus, I’m sharing a free mini workbook to help you kickstart your own healing process from complex trauma.

    Starting Your Healing Journey

    Starting a healing journey can feel like trying to find your way through a tricky maze. But what if there was a cozy spot just for you in that maze? I call that spot cocooning—a special time for deep thinking and growth that I've used in my own life. In this episode, I’ll share how cocooning has changed me and others, showing how it builds strength and renews our spirits.

    Cocooning isn’t about shutting everyone out. It’s about taking good care of yourself and getting your energy back. I’ll talk about finding the right balance of calming activities like journaling and meditating, which can help spark your creativity again. Through my own stories, you’ll see why it’s important to create a peaceful space in our lives to help us heal, grow, and get ready to face the world with more energy.

    As we finish our cocooning phase, the idea of coming back into the world can be both exciting and a little scary. In this episode, I’ll share tips on how to know when it’s the right time to step back into the world. I’ll give advice on setting personal goals and gently telling others what we need. Plus, I’ll introduce a mini workbook designed to help you on your healing journey. This way, when you’re ready to spread your wings, you’ll do so with new strength and clarity.

  • Is Self-Love the Answer?
    May 3 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Through the years, I learned that vanity has no part in healing yourself—instead, it's about finding and nurturing your inherent value. In our latest episode, we wade through the complex layers of trauma that many carry into their adult lives, a burden invisible yet heavy. In this episode we unravel the myths that suffocate our self-worth and challenge the societal misconceptions that shape our self-care rituals. This heart-to-heart isn't merely a discussion; it's the raw unearthing of the inner work necessary to recapture joy and intimacy in our lives.

    Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us—your commitment to growth is why we've crafted a special mini workbook, available complimentary in the show notes. Dr. Richardson and I explore its transformative potential, encouraging you to reflect on whether complex trauma lingers in your life and how it might be influencing your path to fulfillment. This episode, paired with the workbook, marks the beginning of your healing journey. Together, we offer support and understanding, fostering a community where acceptance paves the way for a life filled with connection and self-compassion. Join us, and let this be your first step towards a more connected and fulfilling existence.
