Krista and I dive into the following topics... + how unprocessed grief, trauma, and emotions can further depression, anxiety, and unalignment in life + the cognitive shift of believing that we are our emotions versus emotions are temporary feelings that are trying to tell us something that comes with age + how trauma work allowed Krista to increase self-compassion, develop her identity, love her inner child, improve relationships dynamics, and navigate the world through a kind and gentle lense + the importance of feeling emotions and connecting with others from the perspective of an empath (Krista) and being emotionally detached (Sadie) + exploring sobriety and substance use as a college student and why Krista chose not to drink during her healing journey + how achieving your goal weight doesn't equal happiness and how Krista's now practicing body acceptance + Krista's favorite practices that have helped her maintain her growth and continue to evolve Mentioned in this week's episode... + https://onsiteworkshops.com/ (onsite in Nashville, TN) + https://drjoedispenza.com/ (Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations) + https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tara-brach/id265264862?mt=2 (Tara Brach's podcast (meditation recommendation)) Episode Sponsors 🍓This week's episode is brought to you by https://bit.ly/3jolAMS (Sakara).
