In this episode join me on my hike as I share my thoughts on the false sense of separation we have with the Earth, the disconnection we have with ourselves, and our worth.  The truth is hidden in plain sight, and we can all find it by being present, turning inward and taking radical responsibility for our self worth. We can’t wait for people to choose us. Otherwise we’ll always be waiting, because nobody wants the responsibility of our self worth. We model the love we want by the type of love we give. Make yours unconditional. ~Discover: Asking the questions: What are you ignoring? What does your body need? What does your soul crave? Why we get stuck in co-dependency and wrapped up in our wounds Boundaries are guide-posts to love and trust Why a baseline for grace, kindness, trust and respect is vital Expansion is hidden inside the frustrations and challenges See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you don't stand in the truth of what, you're not going to get what you want - pretty simple right? Whether or not we decide to talk about our truth, it will always still live inside you. Not honouring our truth leads to small betrayals, which usually become giant betrayals later on and typically we can look back and see where we betrayed ourselves initially in order to get there. This week I share a personal story from my past where I self abandoned and didn't declare what I really wanted. The truth always sets us free, no matter how difficult it can be to say it. ~Discover: Why do we fear stepping into our truth? The dangers of staying in the comfort zone Why we self-betray and self-abandon in effort to keep connection Why we need to explore grief The two most important questions you need to ask yourself Small betrayals become giant betrayals later Where do you betray yourself?
