Podcasts about Letting Go

In this episode, I open up about my own transition into a new season — from changing my name online to walking confidently in who God says I am. I share the real story behind that viral “10 minutes with Jesus vs. a trillion dollars” moment, and why it was never about choosing money over Jesus, but choosing relationship over a one-time encounter .Then, my girl Jade Godbolt joins me, and we dive deep into healing, obedience, marriage, covering, and the painful but beautiful journey of letting go of the old versions of ourselves. Jade shares intimate pieces of her testimony — from rebuilding trust after infidelity, to losing followers after laying her “lipstickandcurls” identity at God's feet, to how God restored her joy, her peace, and her entire household piece by piece .Please leave a review , if this episode spoke to you!For exclusive bonus content, behind-the-scenes vlogs, a place connect with the LTTA FAM plus more, join the LTTA app community at LTTA.app and unlock your invite today!Audio Fam, since you listen to the audio every Monday, don't forget to go watch the YouTube on Tuesday!

As women, so many of us have grown up with both the Ps; people pleasing and perfectionism. But the cumulative effect of self abandonment leaves us not knowing ourselves, feeling exhausted and doubting (even fearing) our decisions. My guest this week, Kamini Wood, human potential coach and podcast host, shares strategies to help release ourselves and be able to move forward into more joyful living.Find Kamini hereFollow her here••• Love the show?

A cup of tea, a quiet house, and one piercing thought: new people only know the version of us they meet today. From there, we follow a warm, honest path through identity shifts, seasonal energy changes, and the subtle grief of putting old selves on pedestals. I share why December feels lighter than the fog of October and November, how a nine year invites endings, and why shedding—like the snake—can be the kindest move you make for your future.We dig into practical confidence you can feel in your body. Tiny movements become powerful rituals: calf raises at the cutting board, hand shakes on the sidewalk, hip openers by the playpen. The goal isn't to chase an image; it's to move energy and rekindle self-respect. Alongside movement, I walk through simple self-knowledge prompts to meet your current season with clarity: What does a yes day look like now? Which foods, friends, and rhythms feel like celebration? With a nod to human design, I show how tuning into your inner signals—gut, emotions, or intuition—helps you make decisions that align with who you are today.Interested in my Barbados Retreat?

We're all making decisions based on what feels safe or worthwhile. But what if the biggest risk isn't out there somewhere… what if it's staying the same?In this message, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown shares honest, funny, and deeply relatable stories—from awkward gym encounters to facing fears in everyday life—to explore a bigger question: Is the life you're holding onto actually holding you back? Through a look at one of Jesus' most challenging teachings, you'll discover why real change often requires letting go, rethinking old assumptions, and seeing yourself with new clarity.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Today I sat down with the absolute pocket rocket that is Heidi Horne and we went everywhere from kids having meltdowns to middle aged women building apps and writing books. Heidi is an author, speaker, coach and mum who has spent years teaching everyone from tiny humans to stressed out adults how to actually reset, not just talk about it. We talk about why kids are basically little mirrors for our own emotional tantrums, how easily they love, how quickly they connect, and how much we shut that down once we grow up and get 'sensible'. Heidi shares how she’s gone from tour guiding around the world to teaching meditation, building her One Minute Reset app, writing her second book and throwing herself into founder land at 50 with a bunch of cool tech kids. We jam on energy, friendships, shiny object syndrome, being 'addicted to busy', why boundaries are a spiritual practice, and what happens when you finally start backing yourself 100 percent instead of chasing crumbs. There is imposter syndrome, there is sport, there is hockey with teenage boys, there is a lot of laughing and a fair bit of truth. If you need practical ways to stress less, reset fast and find your childlike spark again, this one will land.

Hi Listeners. I'd love to hear from you. Send an email to Janet@jesteinkamp. It is not possible to respond to your Fan Mail posts directly.You're not crazy for wanting answers—you're human. It's human nature to want to know how and why things happen. In estrangement, too often the answers don't come, and we are challenged to find closure amid ambiguity.In this episode, I'll walk you through the unrest of not knowing in parent–adult-child estrangement. You'll hear why many adult children don't offer explanations (overwhelm, failed attempts to be heard, self-protection, different views of obligation, and shame/guilt). When we're submerged in uncertainty, there can be consequences for our minds, bodies and souls. So, can you move forward without answers?Listen in to hear 6 aspects of ambiguity and practical tools: mindset reframes, survival strategies and a simple step toward acceptance. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the 'why' or 'how could you' loop, this conversation will help you breathe again, slow the ruminating, and refocus on the present. Remember that reconnection starts with you.If today's episode helps, share it with a friend who needs hope.

The continuum of estrangement discussed today can be found at https://www.togetherestranged.org/levels-of-estrangement. The stories, examples, reflections, and perspectives shared in this podcast are based on my professional work as an estrangement coach and my personal estrangement journey. Any examples, characters, or stories referenced are either drawn from my own lived experience or represent a composite of multiple real-life situations shared with me over time. The intention of this podcast is not to accuse, label, or defame any individual but to provide insight, validation, and support for those navigating the complexities of family estrangement. All opinions expressed are my own and are shared with you, the listener, from a place of healing and learning.

The Horn Effect and Autism – Don't Lose You in Counselling Training In Episode 358 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we discuss letting go of the outcome in counselling - why embracing client autonomy matters. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Paula Jones about the Horn Effect and autism - how unconscious bias can shape perceptions of neurodivergent individuals. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explore not losing yourself in counselling training - staying authentic while growing through your studies. Letting Go of the Outcome in Counselling [starts at 03:18 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how holding on to an expected outcome can compromise client autonomy and therapeutic presence, highlighting the importance of letting go of the outcome in counselling. Key points discussed include: Fixating on a client's outcome may cause the therapist to override the client's direction or autonomy. Therapy is not linear - clients may change goals or progress in unexpected ways. The BACP and NCPS frameworks emphasise client autonomy and non-directive practice. Supervisors play a key role in helping counsellors identify when they're steering the process. Letting go involves being mindful, present, and trusting the client's self-directed journey. Progress may be subtle or delayed; the therapist's role is to offer presence, not direction. The Horn Effect and Autism [starts at 28:48 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Paula Jones, a neurodivergent leadership consultant and coach, about the Horn Effect and how unconscious bias impacts perceptions of neurodivergent clients. Key points from this conversation include: The Horn Effect is a cognitive bias where one perceived negative trait skews the entire perception of a person. Neurodivergent individuals often experience quick, unjustified judgements in professional and social settings. Misunderstandings can arise from masking, directness, or non-normative behaviours. Paula highlights the need for neurodivergent-sensitive intake processes and safe, accepting therapeutic spaces. Therapists should be aware of their own unconscious biases and create space for clients to be themselves. The interview includes powerful personal experiences and practical suggestions for inclusive practice. Don't Lose You in Counselling Training [starts at 58:43 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how training can challenge students' sense of self and how to stay grounded through the process. Key points include: Students may feel they need to become someone else to be a good counsellor. Counselling training can feel intense - it's important to maintain perspective. True personal growth enhances who you are rather than replacing your identity. Authenticity is key - it's okay to be yourself and still be professional. Supervision and personal therapy support students in processing and integrating their development. Sarah Henry joins to share insights on navigating authenticity and maintaining your core self during training.

Do you ever feel that if you understood your past better, especially the heartbreaks, breakups, or painful relationships, you would finally feel at peace? Many of us believe that if we could gather every detail of what happened, why someone acted the way they did, or why love fell apart, our stress and anxiety would disappear. While insight and processing our feelings are necessary, emotional healing also requires self love, acceptance, and the courage to let go of what we cannot know. This encore episode explores how releasing the need to know and the need to be right is an important part of healing heartbreak and creating space for calm, clarity, and inner peace. You will learn why the mind holds on to unanswered questions and how letting go of the past helps you reconnect with yourself in a deeper and healthier way. This is a path of self improvement that strengthens emotional resilience, mindfulness, and personal freedom. Through gentle guidance and grounding reflection, this episode will help you: • Ease the pain of heartbreak by releasing old stories and unresolved questions • Reduce stress and anxiety related to past relationships • Stop replaying conversations and searching for closure outside yourself • Build emotional strength, self love, and self acceptance • Break patterns of overthinking, self blame, and rumination • Strengthen mindfulness and inner peace so you can move forward with clarity • Open the door to new possibilities, confidence, and emotional freedom If you are healing from heartbreak or trying to let go of a painful past, this episode offers a soft and supportive space to return to your center and reconnect with your true self.

Do you ever feel like you're always “the responsible one,” “the fixer,” “the overthinker,” or “the good one” — and you can't turn it off?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW unpacks the idea of personas — the masks we learn to wear to feel safe, accepted, and in control. Matt explains how these roles are often deeply tied to OCD, anxiety, and panic loops, and why living from a persona instead of your true essence leaves you exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from yourself.If you've been stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism and wondering why you still don't feel free, this episode will help you see what's really running the show — and how letting go of outdated personas can be a powerful step in your healing journey.

Are you loving it? Send Ash a text! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on what happens after a retreat, when life gets lifey and the work has to live in your body, your kitchen, your calendar, and your conversations. I'm joined by my dear friend and longtime client, Em, a single mom to twin girls, homeschooler, full-time student, and retired Marine officer, who shares how somatic work, breathwork, and real integration reshaped her capacity, boundaries, and motherhood.TOPICS & TANGENTS• From intellectualizing to embodiment: why “thinking about healing” kept Em stuck• Hypervigilance, military conditioning, and the nervous system after a high-tempo life• Somatic tools that moved the needle: breathwork, pacing, and structured downtime• Motherhood in real life: anger as a wise signal, mess-friendly kitchens, laughing more• “All-access pass” no more: boundaries that protect energy, home, and kids• Capacity vs. control: living by rhythms instead of wrangling every minute• Integration that actually sticks: what to do before and after a retreat• Generational impact: modeling regulation so kids don't carry adult emotionsPOINT OF THE STORYLife won't stop life-ing. Capacity isn't about doing more—it's about holding more with less tension. When you center yourself (not everyone else), the whole house gets healthier.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE• Surrender Retreat (Tulum) — an immersive recalibration of success, safety, and self through somatic practices, ceremony, and integration (details in show notes) • The Regulated Woman — private podcast & library for ongoing, nervous-system-first supportMORE ABOUT ASHI am the definition of duality — I swear like a sailor and break rules like it's my job, but I also hold incredible space for my clients and work my ass off to help them achieve the success they're after.

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Kim DeMoss - Retreat Ranch's Executive Assistant, Yoga Teacher Training host, and long-time retreat collaborator - to talk about what it's really like to experience retreats from both sides: hosting and supporting. From her early days hosting retreats with Shannon to now managing the logistics behind the scenes, Kim shares candid insights on burnout, boundaries, work-life balance, and how she found her groove in the retreat industry. They also dive into the digital evolution of the industry - how AI and online visibility are reshaping the way leaders must market their retreats - and why self-awareness is key to finding your place in this ever-changing landscape. Whether you're leading retreats, supporting them, or figuring out which role fits best, this episode will give you real-world perspective, practical advice, and a reminder that your version of success doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Key Takeaways Retreat leadership has many layers — and not everyone is meant to be front and center. Supporting retreats can be just as fulfilling as leading them (and sometimes less stressful). Work-life balance matters — especially for women juggling careers, families, and personal growth. The retreat industry is evolving fast with AI and digital marketing — adapt or find your unique niche. Attracting the right participants is key to creating aligned, transformational retreat experiences. Streamlining your focus can lead to more fulfillment and sustainable success.

This episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast is about what you do when the emotional charge shows up — the tension, the resistance, the part of you that wants to slip back into old patterns. Instead of fighting it, I walk you through how to read it, work with it, and use it as information. The charge isn't the problem. It's the signal. I share how I've been moving through a year of both loss and expansion, what equanimity inside polarity actually feels like, and how money neutrality allowed me to walk through my divorce while still honoring love, care, and my own future. We look at attachment, "need," and capacity in a very practical way, so you can see where your energy is getting drained — and how to clear space so money and opportunity actually have room to land. If you're feeling stretched, exhausted, or like your goals still live outside of you, this conversation will help you reconnect with the version of you who already exists underneath the story. If you're ready to take this into your financial life, this is the work we do inside The Spiritual Investor Mastermind. Enrollment is opening briefly and we're honoring current 2025 pricing before the investment increases at the start of the new year. The next round begins February 3, 2026.

DayDaDon, the 18-year-old Roxbury rapper, pulls up to discuss his new album "Letting Go of Yesterday," the creative vision behind his Damon Dynamo alter ego, and why he chose Thanksgiving Day to drop a diss track calling out half the Boston rap scene.We kicked things off with barber shop stories before diving into what it really takes to break out of Boston's music scene. DayDaDon breaks down why proximity and co-signs matter more than raw talent, whether Boston's community is genuinely supportive or just performative, and the difference between making "fire" music versus "replayable" music.He also reveals why he called out Jo Saza, Novian Wright, Clark D, and SeeFour on wax—and why he's got responses already loaded for anyone who fires back.Time Stamps:0:00 - Barber Shop Stories7:22 - Intro & Guest DayDaDon9:14 - Thanksgiving Food Rankings19:40 - "Letting Go of Yesterday" & Damon Dynamo27:20 - Getting Real Feedback on Your Music32:15 - Breaking Out of Boston: What's The Blueprint?46:30 - DayDaDon's Mindset & Game Plan56:59 - DayDaDon's Thanksgiving Diss Track1:04:17 - Remix Culture & Artist Gatekeeping1:10:04 - Who Should Boston Rally Behind?1:25:48 - Berto's Celtics vs. Lakers Tickets Saga1:37:44 - Closing & Final WordsStream DayDaDon's "Letting Go of Yesterday" and follow him everywhere.Find us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.BadForTheCommunity.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

This week's Dare Thursday is a little different — mostly because Michelle is recording while full of lurgy and zero illusions of having her life together. Instead of a neatly structured pep talk, you're getting a raw brain dump on presence, pressure, and why your future goals are sometimes ruining your mood in the present.In this episode, Michelle unpacks:

What does it look like to raise kids who believe they belong in science, who feel confident speaking up, and who see women as leaders in fields that have long pushed them out? I first came across Emily Calandrelli's work years ago on social media, and her mix of joy, honesty, and curiosity pulled me in immediately. Her voice reminded me that advocacy doesn't have to be loud to be powerful and that our kids are always watching how we chase our own dreams. She is now one of my favorite examples of what it means to model confidence and curiosity for the next generation. On today's episode, Emily and I talk about finding her way in a male-dominated STEM world, what she learned from losing her Netflix show, and how creating her own YouTube series changed everything. She also shares the story behind her viral TSA moment, how it sparked federal legislation, and what it meant to finally launch into space after dreaming about it for two decades. We discuss: ✔️ How representation in STEM shapes kids' beliefs about what's possible ✔️ Why speaking up matters, even when it's uncomfortable ✔️ The pressure mothers face when they pursue big goals ✔️ What her spaceflight taught her about wonder and perspective ✔️ How parents can spark scientific thinking and curiosity at home To connect with Emily Calandrelli follow her on Instagram @thespacegal and check out all her resources at https://www.thespacegal.com/  00:00 Intro 00:51 Welcome + How Emily Sparked TSA Policy Change 01:50 Raising Confident Science-Loving Kids 03:22 Emily's Path From MIT to TV 05:03 Breaking Into Science Media as a Woman 06:25 Losing a Netflix Show and Starting Over 09:30 Building Emily's Science Lab on YouTube 11:22 Redefining Success Beyond Algorithms 14:44 Motherhood, Identity, and Letting Go of Guilt 18:36 The Spaceflight Story She Worked 20 Years For 22:31 How She Funded Her Own Ticket to Space 24:11 What Seeing Earth From Space Feels Like 25:00 The Gendered Backlash After Her Spaceflight 31:01 The TSA Incident That Went Viral 32:31 Turning Viral Attention Into Real Legislation 38:12 STEM Representation for Kids Today 43:13 How Parents Can Model Curiosity at Home 46:47 Why Meeting Girls in STEM Fuels Her Work 49:21 Closing Thoughts + Where to Find Emily Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Today on Resonance, I'm coming to you from Uluwatu with a message about the power of editing — not in the sense of doing more, but in the courageous act of removing what no longer serves. Culturally, we're taught that happiness comes from accumulation: more doing, more having, more striving. But in relationships, and in our own inner world, the truth is often the opposite. Fulfillment lives in subtraction.I share a recent real-world experience with someone who showed all the signs of connection on the surface, but ultimately revealed a deeper pattern of gaslighting, blame, and energetic misalignment. It forced me to confront something I've carried since childhood: the impulse to abandon myself for harmony, to take responsibility for emotions that aren't mine, and to stay connected to people who haven't earned the privilege of my presence.In this episode, I dive into why we repeat lessons until we claim the boundary we've been avoiding, how unresolved inner voices manifest in the people we attract, and why editing your relational field is essential for stepping into the next chapter of your life. Most importantly, I share how facing discomfort without numbing it is part of becoming the integrated man I choose to be — one aligned with resonance, partnership, family, and true integrity.If it's not a full yes, it's a no. Boundaries are love. Editing is liberation. And every person we release creates the space for the people who are truly meant to walk with us.

"Your desire is an acorn with success built into it."  What if the universe wasn't something to command, but something to collaborate with, a living intelligence responding not to your wishes, but to your being? In this SoulTalk episode, I sit down with world-renowned intuitive, bestselling author, and spiritual teacher Colette Baron-Reid once again  to reveal the deeper, often misunderstood art of manifesting, not as a formula, but as a spiritual practice. Together we journey into what Colette calls the sacred partnership,  a dynamic relationship between your inner state and the quantum field. She shares vulnerable, soul-stirring stories from her own life: getting sober with nothing to her name, receiving unexpected miracles when she finally let go, and the painful collapse of her music dreams that revealed a deeper destiny. Colette explains why manifestation fails when we chase outcomes from fear, and why it opens when we align with who we are becoming. Why the universe isn't interested in our ego's timeline. Why forcing pushes blessings away. And why surrender is not passive, it is the most powerful action of all. Colette reveals her signature practice, the Circle Method, a deceptively simple yet profound drawing ritual that rewires the brain, shifts the nervous system, and activates synchronicity. Listen to this episode and learn how to manifest not by gripping tighter, but by partnering with the intelligence that already knows the path to your highest good. Timestamps:  (00:02:33) -  Clarification on Colette's 19 oracle decks & 8 books. (00:03:20) - Manifestation as co-creation vs willpower. (00:04:28) -  Colette's early spiritual roots and Unity Church teachings. (00:05:26) -  Why forcing "what you want" doesn't work. (00:07:27) -  The music dream, surrender, and learning divine timing.

(00:50:07) - Why you don't need to be hyper-specific. (00:52:53) - Receive bigger blessings by not limiting the universe. Some Questions I Ask: Why do we desire things that aren't ultimately meant for us? Can we manifest anything, or are some things destined? What role does effort play, and when does surrender matter more? How do you manifest money when you have none? Why does attachment create scarcity? What is the quantum field and how does it affect manifestation? In This Episode, You Will Learn:  The real science behind manifestation and how to apply it How to follow synchronicities and stop blocking your blessings. How to manifest without forcing, hustling, or burning out Why letting go magnetizes your desires faster. The Circle Gratitude Method, a daily drawing practice that rewires your brain.  How to align with divine timing instead of ego timing.  How beliefs, trauma, and early conditioning affect abundance. Why do you attract who you ARE, not what you want.

Many men feel caught between the identity they built at work and the person they hope to become. Today's guest helps us explore that space.   Doug O'Brien has spent his career studying how our stories shape the way we live and the way we move through change. Before entering this work, Doug lived an entirely different life as a classical pianist, a Carnegie Hall performer, and a punk rock musician in New York City.    Over time, he shifted into teaching and storytelling in a way that opened a new path for him. In this conversation, Doug shares how the stories we hold can keep us stuck and how new ones can help us move into the next chapter.   We talk about: How Doug transitioned from a life in music to helping people change The moment that shifted how he viewed what is possible Why career identity becomes so difficult for many men to release The simple question that reveals who we are beneath our titles How storytelling helps reshape belief and create room for what comes next   Resources: https://www.essentialcoachingskills.com https://dougobrienhypnosis.com

In this session of Family Therapy, Elliott Connie works with Gladys, who shares her emotional struggle and hopes to mend her relationship with her son, Elijah. After court battles, misunderstandings, and a damaging altercation, both mother and son have experienced significant pain and distance. Despite these challenges, there remains an unbroken bond, exemplified when Elijah reached out to his mother during a moment of deep despair. The therapy session aims to help Gladys reconnect with Elijah by focusing on the present and letting go of past anger and resentment. Elliott encourages Gladys to get to know her son as he is today, as this could pave the way for healing. The session closes with a powerful message about the importance of choosing healing and creating a space for connection, urging listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the emotions that may be hindering them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the Spiritually Fit Yoga podcast with Amelia Andaleon! In episode three of my 30-day December mini meditations, we explore Aparigraha, a Sanskrit word meaning "non-possessiveness," "non-attachment," or "non-greed," and is the fifth of the ⁠five Yamas⁠ (ethical restraints) in ⁠Patanjali's Yoga Sutras⁠. It involves taking only what you need, letting go of excessive material possessions, and releasing emotional attachments to things, outcomes, and the past. Aparigraha asks us: What are you gripping tightly?  What are you trying to control?  Who are you having a hard time emotionally letting go of?  Are you attached to any outcomes, results or expectations?--------------------------I'd love to hear what you are experiencing practicing these mini meditation episodes.

"CALM in the CHAOS""Letting Go of It" 

Feeling guilty is one of the most common struggles for people stepping away from a dysfunctional family. Whitney explores how guilt is a learned response, not necessarily an evidence of wrongdoing, and why you were trained to believe that meeting your own needs harms others. She discusses the difference between guilt and grief, how family members use guilt to pull you back in, and offers practical tools for moving forward and coming to terms with these feelings.  Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.

Our fifth and final Yama jewel, Aparigraha, encourages us to embrace non-possessiveness. What do you covet? What do you cling to? Consider what in your life reflects your values and priorities. This month's Yama invites us to examine the physical possessions we surround ourselves with. Do these items make you feel free and light, or do they weigh you down and create a sense of heaviness?Aparigraha serves as a reminder that breathwork is a perfect example of non-possessiveness. The simple act of inhaling and exhaling teaches us about embracing the fullness of life without the need to cling to it. Instead of holding onto our breath, we allow it to flow, experiencing release and relaxation.This time of year often brings many obligations and expectations. Aparigraha urges us to be gentle with ourselves and with others. When we extend unconditional love, we model non-possessiveness and promote acceptance and forgiveness. What a beautiful way to end the year!Show Notes:The Yamas and Niyamas: Exploring The Ethical Practice of Yoga by Deborah Adele

Giving up alcohol originally felt to Mary Alice Stephens like leaving so many things behind - ‘Fun Mary', date nights with her husband, friendships that centered around wine, and a father who expressed his love through alcohol.

Adult children of alcoholics, and those raised in narcissistic, toxic, neglectful and unpredictable homes, who decide to dive into self growth, self help and emotional healing, inevitably learn that they cannot unsee what they see now that they have awakened to the truth of their toxic family dynamics. This can be a distressing time for someone who has identified themselves as a caretaker, rescuer, people pleaser and who has felt responsible for maintaining family relationships, at all costs, and even at the expense of their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.  It is bittersweet to awaken to the truth of a toxic family system, and to be confronted by the fact that just because you can see the truth, it does not imply the people you love, who you have been enmeshed with and you have tried to save, fix or rescue, will want to see what you see.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, opens up about the emotional challenges of a healing adult child who struggles with abandonment trauma, codependency, and the fear of disconnection, who fawns to keep toxic family dynamics and unhealthy friendships afloat when they discover that they must let go of those they love.  In this episode, you will learn: ✨How to get more comfortable with accepting the uncomfortable reality of having to let someone you love go. ✨How codependency pushes God's love out and idolizes fear instead.  ✨What you need to know about making a spiritually aligned decision when needing to end a toxic relationship with a loved one, family or friend.  ✨Easy to recall Biblical Scriptures that reinforce the need for healthy boundaries when any relationship fills your heart with fear vs God's love. Your Healing Starts Within Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Program is a neuroscience-based roadmap to help you gently rewire subconscious patterns, regulate your nervous system, and return home to your authentic self.
