The first episode of Season Two is a powerful conversation with my friend and colleague Anna Boughlam.

This is for you if you've ever experienced any form of mistreatment, have struggled with boundaries, have the caretaker/rescuer/fixer pattern, and could benefit from developing a spine.

We speak about how we recovered from breakups and divorce by taking personal responsibility for our part, using the material that comes up in relationships for deep inner work, and how to alchemize really hard things into our greatest blessing.

In this episode, we talk about:

- how to take personal responsibility
- getting humble and seeing our part
- stepping out of victim mentality
- how our initial relationship patterning comes from childhood
- overcoming codependency
- taking off the rose colored glasses
- the distortions within 'hurt people hurt people'
- developing discernment + boundaries
- how this all relates to parenting
- learning what true love is
- how empathy without boundaries is self-destruction
- energy vampires
- empath/narcissist dynamics
- losing ourselves in relationships
- taking responsibility for where our energy is 'leaking'
- the rescuer/caretaker pattern
