  • When Different Is Unacceptable

    When Different Is Unacceptable
    May 23 2024
    How different do you have to be to trigger 'you're not okay' in other people? In this episode I explore when being me, being 'too different' triggered such a reaction. That reaction has little to do with my race, sex, height, weight or anything like that, it's just a personality thing. And it will be the same for you, there will be people who criticise, complain and condemn you for being different - question is, how do we cope with that reality? Listen to how I frame things. Any questions or queries about how I can help you live a mind controlled life, then reach out to me -elaine@elaineblidgeon.com

    Mourning The Loss of The Bad Things In Life
    May 9 2024
    We've all had to deal with loss, or will the older we get, but what do you do when you are mourning the loss of something bad. In this episode I talk about how I realised I was mourning the loss of a bad situation that I recently got out of, why this could even be so, what it means and what we should do if we are not to be stuck in negative triggers for years. So if you've ever felt 'off' and you can't seem to get yourself out of it, then it might be that you are holding onto something bad that you think it would be worse to admit to. THE NOISE ON THIS PODCAST IS ANNOYING- but listen and learn it's an eye opener.
