GRIEVING THE OLD VERSION OF YOURSELF - life changes before marriage that no one talks about + is being an empath really a good thing?

Ep 78. In this solo episode, I share more about my journey of overcoming vices, addictions, and codependency, and how I'm doubling down in the days leading up to my wedding. Here's what's up for discussion: The desire to escape from oneself and the truth within led me to rely on substances and external fixes. Meditation, which I had strongly resisted, became a powerful tool in reconnecting with myself. Through self-touch and heart-centered breathing, I created a space for meaningful dialogues with myself. Exploring body image, I discovered the importance of finding a balance between personal fitness goals and self-acceptance. Holding memorial services for myself and relationships allowed me to navigate transformation and embrace personal growth. The concept of being an empath shifted for me, as I realized the need to maintain my own energy while witnessing others. By asking deep questions during meditation, I tapped into the wisdom and insights within myself. The journey of self-discovery empowered me to reclaim my autonomy and build genuine relationships. Tune in to hear more about my transformative journey and how meditation has become a profound practice in my life.
