Pray, Twerk, Work, Repeat: Healing Relationship Trauma w/Christian Jackson

Why are my Daddy Issues symptoms ongoing and present? Well just like symptoms of chronic illness or depression these are symptoms you go through on a daily basis. The more you are aware of these symptoms, the better you can take care of yourself which will then lead to remission of these symptoms. In this episode, I'm getting more real than usual! You have created a safe space for me and I want to reveal another piece of my journey. This is a story of personal struggles that I had to face and overcome. In the moment I was triggered with everything going wrong. I had a plan in place and even a back up plan and nothing was just going accordingly. If you are having these feelings of feeling out of control or that nothing is going according to plan, stop and take a breath! Sit in the moment and practice being mindful of the situation so you can make strategy for the next steps. Remember, you can do hard things!—-Get into this FREE resource to evaluate how Daddy Issues may be jacking up your relationships.

In today's society we can silently suffer from-sadness-worrying-stressWe constantly put all this pressure on ourselves and feel that we need to people please. It can sound like:-”I have to be this version of myself at all times; -I don't want to disappoint anyone” Mastering this art of pretending that everything is ok, when in reality your needs are not being met, is actually…not ok.Adding all this pressure to ourselves is not realistic and is way too much for one person to be responsible for. Christalyn Howard, mental health counselor, is here today to talk to us about how women can break free from this pressure of feeling like they have to show up for everyone and do everything perfectly. She has us ask-what do you love?-what are your roles? -who assigned these roles to you? This conversation is to allow women to break free from these roles and responsibilities and discover how to live for themselves and learn ways to say no and to take care of their needs before others. Here's how to get in touch with her and follow her content: To stay connected AND get notified when Fall 2022 registration for Beyond Her Roles group beginshttps://linktr.ee/CarolinaCounseling—-Get into this FREE resource to evaluate how Daddy Issues may be jacking up your relationships.
