Understanding more about the False Self and how I relate to it and live through it, is helping me to recognize my True Self in all her expressions.   Birthed very early in life, it's job was to protect the inner, more vulnerable True Self, wounded by developmental trauma.   In this episode of Know Yourself, I share lots of information about the False Self, the characteristics of, and how it shows up in adult life.  I hope you give a listen.

It took a painful accident to wake me up to my needs and to face honestly all the ways I have abandoned myself throughout my 50+ years on this planet.  Becoming my own best friend has been years in the making and as I forgive myself and discover new ways of being, I am certain that I will no longer allow anything or anyone to interfere with the relationship I have with myself.  In fact, I am intent on being my own best friend in whatever that looks like and feels like.  My needs come first now.  My hope is that this episode will help you discover your needs and inspire you to know yourself on a deeper level.

Is there something you've been wanting to do but your met with resistance that holds you back from that very thing?  I have a technique I use in helping me identify and work through resistance and I share it with you in this episode of Know Yourself.  Are you ready to face your resistance head on?  Are you ready to move through it with the intent of being more authentically you, willing to take risks and shine?  I invite you to listen in.

In this episode I touch upon what the Inner Child really is.  Have you ever wondered?  Have you been curious about inner child work?  I discuss the characteristics of the Child and how she/he shows up in your life by way of enhancing and/or contaminating.  I invite you to tune in and listen.

To heal and transform and live in full illumination of Self means knowing yourself.  It's about a journey inward through the heart and the understanding of what holds you back.  As I have transformed over this past year, it makes perfect sense that my excitements shift with me.  The name is different because I am different, in the most magnificent way for me.  

As we move toward the Winter Solstice, Christmas and the New Year, I offer a gift of Spiritual Practice. I invite you to follow what excites you and do it to the best of your ability and honor yourself by remaining in a positive state, no matter what. My hope is that you'll embrace this new practice and make it part of your every day. (Sorry about the sound of my little fireplace heater. I forgot to shut it off.)

The decision to step away from social media has opened up doors to understanding and healing both my deep-rooted insecurities and addictions. In this episode I share discoveries as I once again start off on a journey of self-love through the practices of awareness and by working with the Child Within. Uncertain, I step forward into what will be the newest and best version of myself to date.
