When we embark on our healing journey (which is a journey of a lifetime!), it is so important to acknowledge the truths that we are not only healing from our own personal experiences but we are also healing from intergenerational trauma and from collective wounds.

Our special guest Vanessa Bennett - LMFT, Author, Facilitator, Podcaster of the Cheaper Than Therapy Podcast, and Mama - offers us professional insights and perspectives that inform us of what it takes to really heal.

As we expand on the healing journey, we explore the significance of healing in relationships and allowing ourselves to be seen in our messiness, our imperfection, our not having it all together  - emphasizing that vulnerability is required to experience true intimacy.

Other topics that we discuss in this conversation include (but are not limited to): depth psychology, the collective unconscious, collective healing, mind body spirit interconnectedness, radical responsibility, mirroring relationships, healing in a healthy way, and codependency.

When we dream to live an unconventional life, we must fully accept that it requires us to walk an unconventional path. And unconventional paths are paths that require us to fully embrace the unknown, practice radical acceptance, and deeply trust along the way that we are being led to where we dream to be.

For LaNia Roberts, her unconventional dream life includes being an artist. This unconventional dream life of hers is one that has manifested and in this conversation, she shares with us what walking the unconventional path has looked and felt like.

A large part of the journey for her has been the reclamation of her voice, the rewriting of many stories she'd made agreements with that weren't true, and lots of keeping it real with herself.

We talk art as a tool for self-expression and liberation, redefining beauty, truly allowing yourself to feel what you feel, healing and the boredom that comes with healing, letting go of unaligned relationships and beliefs, uncovering truths and lies, and so much more.

Do we need to be fully healed to experience a healthy relationship? What is required of us to experience a healthy relationship? Are our partners at all responsible for our healing? What if we have different attachment styles? How do we know whether or not we should walk away from a relationship? These are all questions (amongst others) that we explore and expand on in this conversation with Trauma-Informed Love Coach, Sabrina Flores.

 At a time where we have access to so many varying (and conflicting) words of advice surrounding healing and healthy relationships, it can feel conflicting to know what advice to follow and not to follow. What's beautiful about this conversation and about speaking with Sabrina Flores is that she vulnerably, openly shares with us her own personal stories (past and present) that support her coaching.

This is an insightful episode all about the healing journey, healthy relationships, and healing in healthy relationships.
