This is the final episode of the 5-series podcast that focuses on aligning in your self-love and also includes a guided healing meditation for you to connect with your unique soul essence frequency.

In Episode #4 we explore internal invalidation stories and how we can shift these stories to begin peeling away untrue narratives. This podcast includes a guided meditation to help you dive into your inner knowing and to connect with a part of yourself that needs your love and care. If you can see it, you can heal it.

In this episode, we take a step further into looking at where some of our first invalidation stories came from by focusing on our family systems. If we are unable to give love to ourselves consistently or we struggle often to feel enough, these difficulties are linked to old invalidation stories that have been told to us or modeled to us by our families. By looking at how our families have shaped us, we acknowledge what has happened with attention and care and we find ways to let these stories go in order to create a new path that is more filled with joy and radically loving ourselves.

In Episode #1, we began the dive into radical self-love and how to recognize that coming back to self-love is actually peeling away old stories and pictures rather than having to do things outside of us to cultivate self-love. In this episode, we are going to look at this even closer by focusing on invalidation stories and perfection pictures.

The Radical Self-Love and Aligning with Your Soul Essence Podcast is a 5-part series developed to help you identify, let go and transform the blockages that get in the way of you aligning consistently with your soul truth. To put it simply, your soul essence is your truth and radical self-love is the ability to completely unhook yourself from all the old stories and pictures that you house in yourself that cover up your innate goodness and the love that is at the core of your being. This podcast will explore how to be in your highest alignment in love and how to connect with your soul truth while also gaining more insight and awareness and of what has gotten in the way of you being naturally aligned with who you really are. We will look at internal and external invalidation, healing our family trauma and rejection, creating new thought patterns and learning self-love practices to better manifest living in your truth. Episode one begins with diving into learning more about what self-love is and the ways old stories and pictures have gotten in the way of aligning in our soul truth.
