Has anyone else had an absolute week? I know I have. This episode was created to act as a self compassion reminder. We are our own hardest critics and often do not treat ourselves with the same love and respect that we treat others with. In this episode I discuss what has been troubling my mind lately, what self compassion is, and what self compassion is not. I discuss Dr. Neff's 3 identified elements of self compassion and provide multiple examples of self compassion exercises for us all to add to our 'toolkit', and implement as a daily practice in our lives. 

Have you watched the Barbie Movie yet? Barbie has been a hot topic lately that brings light to patriarchal and matriarchal conversation. Watching the Barbie Movie inspired me to get educated and have a conversation that breaks societal gender stereotypes. Today I dove into masculine and feminine energy in every way. I discussed what they are, what purpose they serve, and the importance of identifying our core energy. Divine feminine and divine masculine were discussed, as well as wounded feminine and wounded masculine. We discussed emotional masks, and I talked about my own struggle to identify my core energy and masks I have worn throughout my life. Today we broke gender barriers through tapping into the balance and understanding of yin-yang. I discussed these concepts in terms of romantic relationships and how successful, intimate relationships are formed when polarity is present.

Ghosting. What is it? Why do people do it? Is it okay to feel rejected when it happens? In this episode, I address all things ghosting. I define ghosting and talk about common reasons 'ghosters' ghost people. I tell a very vulnerable, personal story about how I got ghosted in my life and also narrate how there are different levels of ghosting and times when it actually is okay. As at The Healing Era we care about personal healing and growth, I dive into discovering how to handle being ghosted  gracefully and how to heal with the associated rejection. I also discuss the psychology behing chronic ghosting and how to heal from being a chronic ghoster.
