Discover the power of embracing your true, authentic self in our thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Brad Reedy, a renowned marriage and family therapist and author of "The Audacity to Be You." Together, we explore the transformative journey of unlearning the limiting beliefs we often acquire in childhood and rediscovering our unique selves. Our discussion sheds light on the importance of self-awareness and growth in all aspects of life, from parenting consciously and appreciating our children's individuality, to navigating the challenges of marriage and self-work. We dive deep into the concept of gaslighting, control versus influence in parenting, and the need for self-care both within and outside of relationships. Dr. Reedy's expertise and compassionate approach to therapy make this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking to develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Join us as we unravel the wisdom behind Carl Jung's quote 'I would rather be whole than be good' and delve into topics such as parental wounds, giving and taking in relationships, and maintaining self-care in marriage. Listen in to learn valuable insights and tools to help you embrace your authentic self and cultivate meaningful connections with those around you.

As a teenager, I was diagnosed with, Undifferentiated Schizophrenia and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. I experienced auditory hallucinations, which at the time took over my life. At the age of 16 I attempted to take my life and was admitted to a mental health ward, where I remained for roughly two years. However, that experience went on to shape my ambition. Today, I am stronger and much more resilient. Recovery can vary depending on the individual's willingness to want to get better. I acknowledge and accept that trials and tribulations make up the journey. So I'm proud to be a mental health ambassador because "that person who helps others, simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero".
