About this episode
It’s time to talk about the two kinds of people in this world: the seekers and the stuck.
In this episode, I dive deep into the real reasons why some lives transform after abuse while others continue to feel stuck.
We’re unpacking:
- Why healing is not about labeling your abuser a narcissist and calling it a day
- How to know when you’re ready to move from survivor to thriver.
- What your philosophy of life has to do with your emotional garden.
- Why reading one more Instagram post about toxic people isn’t going to transform your life.
- And how your anger might just be the spark that gets you out of the cage.
