Yeah, can 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: you tell our listeners a little bit about you? 81 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean speaking to that like that, I'll 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: start there. You know, I think when I think about 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 4: being a seeker and just kind of being on. 84 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 5: This path, part of what lent itself to that. 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: And I don't know if anyone will identify with this, 86 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: but like I was the only child raised by a 87 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 4: single mom, and I was a latchkey kid for many years, 88 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: and like by nature of that, you go inside, you know, 89 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: like I was my only playmate as a kid. 90 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: You know what, I never thought about that. I was 91 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: just I was only child till I was like thirteen. 92 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 93 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: And so usually, especially if you have a single parent, 94 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: it lends itself to kind of like a high level 95 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: of maturity really young, and you're navigating with a lot 96 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 4: of adult language, like adult understanding, even if you're not 97 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: ready for it. So it kind of lends itself to 98 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: like a lot of natural ability to be in self inquiry, 99 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: which I think is the foundation of our spiritual journey. 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 5: It's curiosity. 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: That's how we get to change, that's how we get 102 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: to grow, that's how we get to heal. We get 103 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 4: really curious about ourselves or our situations or how our 104 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 4: life is unfolded, and we start seeking out the things. 105 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 5: That we feel called to. 106 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: So that like to that extent, like I, you know, 107 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: I would consider myself I was the kid that, like 108 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: the teenager that had self help books didn't apply most 109 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 4: of it. 110 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: Wait were they chickens through to the teenage song are? 111 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: Because that was it was. 112 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: Like the seven highly effective, you know, traits of teens and. 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: You were reading that as a teenager. 114 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're very mature.

And now having one obviously, I couldn't 304 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: imagine not having one and just totally shifts so much 305 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: in you and make sure you have to tap into yourself, 306 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: and I I think that's what. I don't know if 307 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: we wanted to do the taro or we can do 308 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: it at the end, but I think this is a 309 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: good segue into what I wanted to talk to you about, 310 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: which was healing your inner child and how important it 311 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: is and how it can be a lifelong journey. I 312 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: don't know if there's just like this one switch that 313 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: like just turns on and suddenly like all the traumas 314 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: or all the things that you've encountered as a child, 315 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: or just you know they're healed. But it's something that 316 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: I think it's important to tap into and check in 317 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: on often. And I was listening to your episode about 318 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: meeting your inner child, and I was listening and I 319 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: totally connected to when you were saying that, like you're 320 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: the strong friend and that people lead on you, and 321 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, you started you started that, like valuing yourself 322 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: by how much you could. 323 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 3: Take much hurt you could take?

Because women 332 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: were always at the forefront of society and the forefront 333 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 4: of households. 334 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 5: We were the healers, we were the leaders. 335 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: And then at some point things shifted, and then all 336 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 4: books were written with women in a diminished role or 337 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: not mentioned at all, you know, and all of a 338 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 4: sudden women became. 339 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: Some research. 340 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: There's gotta be a trail back to this nigga.

It 437 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 4: is the understanding that we always have choice as women, 438 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 4: We always have choice, and we have been trained and 439 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 4: forced and pushed to believe that we're supposed to be 440 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 4: waiting around to be chosen, and it's like, no, I 441 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 4: do the choosing.

And at any moment we can make another choice. 444 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: There's never such a thing as like truly missed opportunity 445 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 4: or misstability to change your life. In every moment there 446 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 4: is choice. There'll be the parameters that come with that, 447 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 4: you know, which sometimes can be quite challenging, but you 448 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: always have the chance to recreate your life, or recreate 449 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 4: your partnership, or recreate your parenthood. 450 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I agree, I agree. There's never a like. I 451 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: think sometimes even women they're like, who are maybe like 452 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: in their fifties or in their late forties, or kids 453 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: or teenagers, they're like, it's too late for me, And 454 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: it's absolutely not.

Because what I think it really is 526 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 4: is in every moment, there's opportunity to deepen the healing, 527 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 4: you know, And it's like it's so important to not 528 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 4: look at it as like, oh. 529 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: Why am I getting so bothered by this? 530 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 4: Like I spent so much time I thought I was healed, 531 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 4: and it's like you are, and you were and you 532 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 4: did diligent, beautiful work which arrived you at this moment, 533 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 4: the opportunity to get to an even deeper life that 534 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 4: is clearing you and cleansing you and giving you more 535 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 4: personal power. 536 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: You know. 537 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 5: It's like some of the stuff that. 538 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 4: We are working through is very literally our life's curriculum, 539 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 4: you know. So many of the situations that for us 540 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 4: are like the deepest traumas or like the repeated patterns. 541 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 4: It's there because that is actually the curriculum we signed 542 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: up to know and to learn on. I believe this 543 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 4: adventure on earth that we chose to have, so there's 544 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 4: always more healing available. And I think anybody that stands 545 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 4: in a space of againstness, like no, I'm not willing 546 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 4: to talk about that because I already healed it, that 547 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 4: shows that there's charge, you know. And I think the 548 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 4: way to investigate where your wounds are are to see 549 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 4: what do I have charge? 550 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: About? 551 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 4: What am I avoiding even in the tiniest ways, you know. 552 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 4: And it's like the biggest gift is just being able 553 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 4: to dive into it. Like I get so excited when 554 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 4: I have more shadow work to do. Like if I 555 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 4: find myself crying about something, I'd. 556 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 5: Be like, oh, there's a gift inness for me. Okay, 557 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 5: I'll sit in it, you know, like. 558 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: Oh, that's a beautiful way I look at it. 559 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's like, you know, it wouldn't be there 560 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: if I didn't need to look at it. So how 561 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 4: much time do I want to waste? Right when it 562 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 4: comes up? Do I want to try to run from it? 563 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: Do? So? 564 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 4: The more I do that, the more it stays with me, 565 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 4: right versus all right, you popped up for a reason, 566 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 4: divine timing. Let me sit down, let me look at this, 567 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 4: let me explore it, let me think about it, and 568 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 4: then once you decide to dive into it. 569 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 5: It's so easy to dissolve. 570 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 4: But I definitely think if we're you know, the way 571 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 4: that that inner child wounding shows up is really everything. 572 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 5: You know, like it's really everything any. 573 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: Level of toxicity in your life, any way that that 574 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 4: shows itself, typically there's always a pathway in a trail 575 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 4: that leads back to a very specific moment in childhood. 576 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 4: And the reason that really those like inner child wounds 577 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 4: some times are so deep and so hard to look at, 578 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 4: it's because they really usually revolve around us in our 579 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 4: most vulnerable space as a child, and then we take 580 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 4: on judgment for how we responded as a child. And 581 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 4: so it's like we're looking back at that same wounding 582 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 4: with child eyes and child relatability and child charge inside 583 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 4: of ourselves instead of saying, you know what, in this moment, 584 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 4: I am a woman. I'm a grown woman. So let 585 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: me look back on those childhood wounds through the lens 586 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 4: of this adult who now better understands life. You know, 587 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 4: like our wounding in childhood really stems from lack of 588 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 4: experience and us attributing meaning to the things that happened 589 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: to us with a very limited language and a very 590 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 4: limited understanding of the world. So when we're coming in 591 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 4: to repair and to heal and dissolve, we have to 592 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: come to it with the rational understanding of this happened. 593 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 4: I was a kid, I interpreted it as this, which 594 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 4: then lent itself to me, layering more and more on 595 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 4: top of it. Or this stem from my parent. You 596 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 4: know a lot of wounding comes from our parents or 597 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 4: the adults in our lives. And the reason it feels 598 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: so hard to heal is because our parents are our 599 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 4: first God, you know, like our family structure is our earth. 600 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: We don't know that there's more world available to us. 601 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: We definitely don't know how it works. So if we 602 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 4: feel this conflict about our parents, it's almost like we're 603 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 4: in conflict with God because we're still looking at them 604 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: through that lens, and so like being able to shed 605 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 4: that is also and I know this can feel really 606 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 4: tender for people, depending on what your parental experience was. 607 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 4: There's a multitude of ways that you know, people experience 608 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 4: like deep hardship and the really the things that feel 609 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 4: unmentionable about our lives, sometimes at the hands of our parents. 610 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: But it's really important that we're investigating that wounding or 611 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 4: that timeline to do it from the space of an 612 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 4: adult who is now equipped with more emotional language, is more. 613 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 5: Equipped with like what are the processes of. 614 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: Being an adult? Things that you know, sometimes we take 615 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: personally as kids. It's like when we become adults, you're like, oh, yeah, 616 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 4: it wasn't because I wasn't wanted or neglected, like my 617 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 4: mom had to go to work, right, you know, or 618 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 4: like or you know, this happened or this circumstance. Adult 619 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: life is complicated, and the circumstance lent itself to me 620 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 4: feeling like this but if I look at it from 621 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 4: the lens of what is true from an adult perspective, 622 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 4: does it still have to hurt me? Is there opportunity 623 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: for me to re experience it, apply my understanding of 624 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 4: now and. 625 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 5: Give it some grace and give it some healing. 626 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so important. And I never even 627 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: really looked at it that way, as like putting Erica 628 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: as an adult in those adults and looking at it 629 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: like is that really what happened? Or let you know, 630 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: it's so crazy too, because even today I was met 631 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: with something that was really triggering for me, and it 632 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: is it is, and I'm just listening to you now 633 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: I realize I correlated the two, is that I was 634 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: triggered today because there is a healing that has to 635 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: happen for me amongst me and like my stepfather who 636 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: like and for me, And it's rooted in my relationship 637 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: with my father, who me and my father didn't really 638 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: have a relationship and he didn't show up for me 639 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: in that way.

Really, I think he didn't want to, like 643 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: he didn't. He just kind of he didn't know how to. 644 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: He didn't know how to do it, you know, because 645 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: and as a child, I was angry about that and 646 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: upset by that and. 647 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 3: Felt like, well, you should have tried harder. 648 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: Who cares if I said, you're not my dad, Like 649 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: you should have tried harder. 650 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 3: I'm a child. 651 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And today, like we had an interaction that really 652 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: triggered me, that irritated me, and it felt like he 653 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: wasn't showing up for me again. 654 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 4: And I was. 655 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: Like, like, and it triggered me because my dad didnt 656 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: show up for me and like you're supposed to be 657 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: my other dad, Like yeah, And so today I, for 658 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: the first time ever, I messaged him and I was like, 659 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: we should probably talk, and like I know that he'll 660 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: never do that, like he'll never reach out to me. 661 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: So like as an adult, I'm the child, but I'm 662 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: also I'm an adult now, and like I don't want 663 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,239 Speaker 1: to have that experience anymore. I don't want to keep 664 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: repeating this feeling because sometimes we're like in great spirits 665 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: together and then other times I'm like what happened? Like 666 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: did I do something? 667 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: Like why are we here? 668 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: Like what's going on? And it felt good to like 669 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: it did feel good because I was feeling a lot 670 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: of anxiety today. I was angry, and then I was like, 671 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: I just needed to like talk to him. Why don't 672 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: I just talk to him? Because I'm because I wanted 673 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: my dad to talk to me and he and he 674 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of did, but not really. I wanted him to 675 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: talk to me and he's not. But I'm an adult, 676 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: so I can go to him and I can heal 677 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: that part of me and even put myself as an 678 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: adult in the shoes of myself then and our interaction 679 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: then and try to understand why he has chosen, why 680 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: he did some of the things that he did. Yeah, 681 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: and I'm just now, I mean, obviously it's today. It's 682 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: like day one of embarking on this journey hopefully with 683 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: him and like healing that and hopefully it'll help heal 684 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: parts of my relationship with my own father too. Yeah, 685 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: but being able to like be adult about it is 686 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: something that you just said that I didn't even realize. 687 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: I kind of applied today. So that's so it's first 688 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: of all, like alignment is so real. I'm so glad you're. 689 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 3: Here right now. 690 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna cry because I'm just like, wow, 691 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: Like it's been like a long time coming in my 692 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: relationship with the men in my life because I haven't 693 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: always felt safe and I haven't always felt like I 694 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: could depend on them. Yeah, and I'm like, yeah, I don't. 695 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be that way. Sometimes it's just 696 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: a conversation that has to happen. So he feels like 697 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: he's given given permission to show up for me that way. Yeah, 698 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, and so yeah. 699 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 4: And you know what, And it's so like, one, I 700 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 4: just like, really prize you for doing that because. 701 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 5: It's so challenging. 702 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 4: Like that's so challenging because it's also feels, you know, 703 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: there's a piece of you that feels like why do 704 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 4: I got to be the one to do this? 705 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 3: And that's kind of like the stance I've always taken. 706 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that's not serving me. 707 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 4: It's this is so powerful, Like this is the stance 708 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 4: of like a really powerful, awakened person. And it's like 709 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: remembering our personal power is so important because we find 710 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 4: ourselves and this is just biologically how it works, how 711 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 4: like the programming of our brain and our hearts really 712 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 4: operates with certain people, we will fall into a role 713 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 4: that is not. 714 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 5: Actually who we are or how we show up in 715 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 5: the world. 716 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 4: And that is especially true when it comes to family 717 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 4: and family enmeshment. Like it's really it's like you could 718 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 4: be killing it in a boardroom, you could be leading 719 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 4: in all these ways, but you get home and it's like, oh, yes, sir, 720 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 4: or okay, or no one listens to me or you know, 721 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 4: and it's like, it's always beautiful opportunity for us to 722 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 4: continue to anchor in the truth of who we are 723 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 4: in this moment. I think, like I definitely have two 724 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 4: thoughts around what she said. You know, a piece that's 725 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 4: powerful but really challenging, and. 726 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 5: It takes a lot, a lot, a lot of practice. 727 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 4: So anybody listening, it's okay if you don't get it 728 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 4: the first try the second third, like it'll come with 729 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 4: the practice. But as frustrating as it feels, especially if 730 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 4: we've been wounded by the adults that knew us as children, 731 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 4: it's so important to realize like adults are flawed, like 732 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 4: which we know now, Like we think about our friends 733 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 4: and their wounding, we think about our wounding like adults 734 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 4: are highly problematic, but we were children and we were 735 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 4: viewing them as safety. We were also trained to view 736 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 4: them as that by television, by film, Like every American 737 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 4: ideal for family structure was built around this. You know, 738 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 4: two parent household, two parents, and you were made in 739 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 4: love and you know they wanted to have you, and 740 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 4: then they raised you and always put you at the forefront, 741 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 4: and they had a college plan available to you, and 742 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 4: the mom was on the pta and the father provided 743 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 4: and we have thisby and if they weren't safe and 744 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 4: they unconditionally love us, well, news flash, that is not 745 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 4: true for ninety eight percent of people living. But there 746 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 4: are these like unicorns that have been crafted as a 747 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 4: legend for which our family structure, it's created, this comparable 748 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 4: ideal forever and it's not true for any of us, 749 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 4: like it really isn't. And when we give ourselves that 750 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 4: freedom that none almost none of us you know, had 751 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 4: that experience, it frees our hearts so deeply because it's 752 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 4: the comparison that hurts when we settle into the what 753 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 4: is this is the parent I was given? There is 754 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 4: spiritual curriculum to that. What do I need to know 755 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 4: about this? How is this meant to actually be a 756 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 4: gift to me, you know, And it's hard because sometimes 757 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 4: those gifts are so painful, you know. And also a 758 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 4: piece of it, we don't speak to enough as adults 759 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 4: now that we're in these mental health conversations. So many 760 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 4: adults from our childhoods have personality disorders, They have undiagnosed 761 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 4: mental illness or personality disorders or complex post traumatic stress 762 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 4: or PTSD. They were barely surviving the things that happened 763 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 4: to them, but they didn't have the language, and they 764 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 4: didn't they didn't have the resources that so many of 765 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 4: us have. Now It's like there are books, now, there 766 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 4: are groups. 767 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 5: Now I can. 768 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 4: Open my Instagram, Like it cracks me up when I 769 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 4: open Instagram on some of these psychology pages I follow 770 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 4: because I'm like, I spent three thousand dollars on that 771 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 4: breakthrough over that years, and today I get to scroll 772 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 4: it and get the truths. 773 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 5: So simply, like, we. 774 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 4: Have things and we're having conversations that our parents never 775 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 4: got to have either, you know. And when we go 776 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 4: down that like family tree, it's like so many of 777 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 4: our parents were in deep pain and survived abuse and 778 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 4: for them, for some for some of them, you know, 779 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 4: it's like something we say right now that I said 780 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 4: a lot that I had to really get more humble about, 781 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 4: was like, oh, I'm breaking the chains.

But I think a part 875 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,959 Speaker 2: of it is, like we have to accept that there's 876 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 2: no part of our parenting that's perfect. We are imperfect people. 877 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 2: So it's by design, right, Because like you said, I 878 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 2: liked what you do. I love what you said about 879 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 2: the curriculum of life. Every fucking single experience, every interaction, 880 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 2: every relationship, including family are as a part of the 881 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 2: curriculum of life. Like I do believe that we choose 882 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 2: our parents, and I know, like some people don't want 883 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 2: to hear that, but there are lessons in that, those 884 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,959 Speaker 2: those relationships closest to you that you have to heal 885 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,839 Speaker 2: and learn and figure out. And I'm still figuring it out, 886 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 2: you know, accepting people and like, are my parents as 887 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: who they are. And I think one of the biggest 888 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 2: things I've tried to apply because lord knows, I may 889 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 2: not be doing this parenting thing completely right because I'm 890 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 2: a little crazy, but like it's just letting my daughter 891 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 2: see me vulnerable letting her know, like I don't have 892 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 2: all the answers, like letting her know I messed up. 893 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: I'm sad. Like the other day I cried and she's 894 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: right here. I cried in front of Luna and she 895 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 2: was like, why are you crying? And I was like, 896 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. Just hug me, hug me, 897 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, But like I don't. And 898 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: I've seen my mom cry and there were things, but 899 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 2: just sometimes it just takes being vocal and vulnerable, and 900 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,839 Speaker 2: even if your kid is six, you know, and I 901 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 2: think I think our parents thought that was deeply traumatizing 902 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 2: to not let your kid know that you didn't have 903 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 2: everything all together. 904 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like. 905 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 2: Everything's fine, everything's fine, the bills are paid. I'm so happy, Like, no, 906 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 2: you're not to lose your shit. 907 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,399 Speaker 4: Everybody was so hyper vigilant because even that is such 908 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 4: a layered experience. It's like for us it would be like, 909 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 4: why mom, were you not just more vulnerable with me? 910 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 4: And then it's like for a mom of that generation, 911 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 4: especially a woman of color, you were pushed into this 912 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 4: this unwanted role of forced resilience all the time, Like 913 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,800 Speaker 4: society didn't give a shit about what you were walking through. 914 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 4: So you probably not only didn't even. 915 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 3: Vocalize it outside of yourself to. 916 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 4: Anyone, because you knew it when it matter and when 917 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 4: it changed, but you didn't even vocalize it to yourself. 918 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 4: So the ability to be vulnerable is not even a possibility. 919 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 2: It's not even you don't even recognize it in yourself, 920 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 2: let alone expressing it to someone else. 921 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 3: And I experience that now, like, oh, Erica, like you're 922 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 3: I'm not okay. I'm like, maybe you're right. 923 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: You know, you don't even realize that you're not okay 924 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 2: until you've given yourself the grace to say it to 925 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 2: yourself out loud. 926 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 927 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 2: And that's such a powerful thing, Like in exploring the 928 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 2: inner child is like first you have to identify that 929 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 2: those that those wounds even exist, and then you have 930 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 2: to dig back into your your deep subconscious about exactly 931 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 2: the moment and experiences and interactions that you've had that 932 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 2: contributed to how you act out in adulthood. Because I've 933 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 2: i was listening to your podcast, I've experienced a lot 934 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 2: of ways, like drinking, you know, I've feend a lot 935 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 2: of my twenties and now like excessively drinking, or like 936 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 2: unnecessary sex and unnecessary relationships and toxic love and just 937 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 2: feeling comforted by that toxicity because I'm actively avoiding dealing 938 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,720 Speaker 2: with my fucking self, you know, because that hurts too much. 939 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 4: Well, if toxicity is our normal, we're just craving home, 940 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 4: you know, Like we're just craving that same dynamic that 941 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 4: we were so used to and that was the foundation 942 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,919 Speaker 4: of our beans. So it's like even sometimes when we 943 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 4: want more for ourselves, we continue these loops in these 944 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 4: patterns because that is what was illustrated as safety to. 945 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 3: Us trauma bonds. 946 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 2: I just really learned that, like the last few years, 947 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 2: because I was backstepping and backstepping and backstaffing with my. 948 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 5: Bad Luna go blame God, Oh my business. 949 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm backstepping and then like just these toxic cycles of 950 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 2: such pain. But I was literally putting myself in the 951 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 2: position actively raising my hand to get there. And it's 952 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 2: like it took me a long time and realized, like 953 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 2: and I would even notice.

But I saw that with my parents. I 958 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 2: saw my parents have toxic relationships my entire life, yelling 959 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 2: and screaming and acting crazy and coming and going, And 960 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 2: so I saw myself attached to that in my adulthood 961 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 2: and in ways that the relationships mirrored so much it 962 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 2: scared the shit out of me, you know. 963 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:11,439 Speaker 3: But I was. 964 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 2: Actively doing it to myself and then getting so mad 965 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 2: at myself because A, I know the results, be you 966 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 2: keep doing it, be you keep doing it, you keep 967 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 2: doing it, you keep doing it, and then finding some 968 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 2: weird sick comfort in it.

You'd said, why is like finding wholeness the 1033 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: fight of our life in the childhood? 1034 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 2: Girl? 1035 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: Why is finding wholeness the fight of our life in 1036 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: our adulthood? And I told me. I was like, oh 1037 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: my god, is that what our whole podcast was about? 1038 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 1: Is like finding our wholeness? And I was like, kinda, 1039 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: And it does feel like oftentimes it does feel like 1040 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,879 Speaker 1: the fight of your life. And I think she said 1041 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 1: a child has to blame or else. 1042 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 5: She'll go and say, oh my god, that was like 1043 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 5: what Yeah? 1044 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 3: And I was like, day when you said that child. 1045 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: Has to blame or else, she'll go and say And 1046 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,839 Speaker 1: I was like wow. And now having a child and 1047 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: her always like when something goes wrong, you like, she 1048 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,879 Speaker 1: did it, you did it did And I'm like, yeah, 1049 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,720 Speaker 1: Carl're not in trouble. 1050 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 3: You're not in trouble, Like, why are we blaming someone 1051 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 3: right now? Yeah? 1052 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:09,880 Speaker 1: I thought that was so interesting. 1053 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 5: It's so like and it's also so sad. 1054 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 1: You know not, I know it is. 1055 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 4: It is yeah, you know I so I you know, 1056 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 4: off and on. I've gone to therapy over the years. 1057 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 4: I do think like cognitive therapy is phenomenal, and it 1058 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 4: gives you language and it. 1059 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 5: Gives you structure to your experience. 1060 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 4: But we have to add in like somatic experiencing to 1061 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 4: really be in the healing or to like dissolve the trauma. 1062 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,399 Speaker 4: We have to love the trauma. We can't just give 1063 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 4: it language and understand, Oh I act this way because 1064 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 4: this happened to me. It's like, Okay, now that I 1065 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 4: can understand that, how can I bring that intellectualization down 1066 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 4: into my heart so I can actually live as the 1067 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,359 Speaker 4: person I want to be that I really am. And 1068 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 4: so sometimes like I have this one phenomenal psychologist, sometimes 1069 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,399 Speaker 4: I just cut. Like so I do a lot of 1070 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,240 Speaker 4: healing work on myself, but I also do a lot 1071 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,359 Speaker 4: of healing education for myself. Like over the last ten years, 1072 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 4: I've probably gotten like an Ivy League education in different 1073 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 4: healing modeality. So sometimes I'm like the weirdo that books 1074 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 4: time with a leading psychologists to ask them questions that 1075 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 4: aren't necessarily about me. 1076 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 5: But I'll be like, how does. 1077 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 4: This work in the brain or why does this happen? 1078 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 4: Or why do kids do this? You know, I'm really 1079 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 4: really freaking curious. So I you know, when I study 1080 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 4: trauma and I study the barriers that we put up 1081 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 4: against our own healing, the common denominator for all of 1082 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 4: us is this under underlying feeling of being unworthy or 1083 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 4: being worthless. That is where I feel that one hundred 1084 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 4: percent of all of our trauma really sinks into and 1085 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 4: also experiences lend itself to that. Certain experiences happen that 1086 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 4: we interpret as being judgments against us or wrongness about us. 1087 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 5: So I was asking her, I said, you know, why 1088 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 5: is it that. 1089 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 4: Everything always comes down to us not really thinking we're 1090 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 4: worthy or us really loving ourselves? And she said, you know, 1091 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,920 Speaker 4: when you're a kid, she said this phrase to me, 1092 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,880 Speaker 4: thats that you share that Jess. 1093 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 5: Like it rocked my soul. 1094 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 4: It was you know, well a child has to blame 1095 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 4: or else that will go insane. And she said, you know, biologically, neurologically, 1096 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 4: the way your mind works as a young person is 1097 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 4: that like you don't have context for anything, you don't 1098 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 4: have language for hardly anything, and you don't have life experience, 1099 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 4: and so everything about our experience is crafted by how 1100 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 4: we understand our caregivers. So if our caregivers, who we 1101 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 4: now come to understand as adults, are these problematic flawed 1102 00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 4: adults like we are, and like we know. 1103 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,959 Speaker 1: I look like I can't wait to call my mom. Problemiz, Mom, 1104 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,839 Speaker 1: you were a problematic caregiver. You did your best. 1105 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 3: I love you did. It was probably dev said that 1106 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 3: to say that Dad, it's problematic step father. 1107 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,439 Speaker 1: When I go talk to my stepfather, So listen my relationship. 1108 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 3: You're a problematic adult and I am too. 1109 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,719 Speaker 4: And also, you were a wounded child, right, you know, 1110 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 4: like you were a wounded child and you wounded me, 1111 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 4: and that's. 1112 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 3: You know what it is. 1113 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,800 Speaker 4: But you know, the process of like a child blaming 1114 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 4: or it will go insane, is really found in that 1115 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 4: the way. 1116 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 5: A child processes it has. 1117 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 4: To give meaning because it's craving to understand its experience, 1118 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 4: it's craving to build its structures. And so for a 1119 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 4: young person, it's not even conceivable to you that the 1120 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,360 Speaker 4: problem is your parent, or the problem is your family system, 1121 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 4: or the problem is your home. 1122 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,239 Speaker 5: If that were to occur to you, it would put you. 1123 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 4: Into a fight or flight that is not survivable, like 1124 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 4: if your parent is God, if your home is really 1125 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 4: your earth, and something is wrong with that, and you're 1126 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,280 Speaker 4: all so very clear that you cannot care for yourself. 1127 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,839 Speaker 4: If you were to find fault in that system, it 1128 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 4: would send you spiraling. 1129 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 5: Who would care for you as a kid. 1130 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 4: You would probably give yourself a heart attack from being 1131 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 4: in fight or flight constantly. So you have to think 1132 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 4: it's you. You have to think that it's something wrong 1133 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,200 Speaker 4: with you, and then you commit yourself to this path 1134 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 4: of being better, of earning love, of you know, trying 1135 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 4: to get the attention, or trying to get into a 1136 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,359 Speaker 4: safe space with your parents or with your family so 1137 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 4: that you can feel the love, so that you can 1138 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,640 Speaker 4: feel safe, which then leads you usually on this lifetime 1139 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 4: journey of on the far end of the spectrum either 1140 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 4: becoming a sociopath and a full on narcissist or becoming 1141 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 4: a really really committed people pleasing. 1142 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: People say that sounds like the recipe. 1143 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 4: For people please who's in fear of losing love, who's 1144 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 4: in fear of losing safety, who's in fear of losing self? 1145 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 4: And you know, either side of that is not necessarily 1146 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 4: anyone's fault, but they are interesting things to look at 1147 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 4: as we heal ourselves.

That like someone if certain reactions in adulthood 1152 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,879 Speaker 2: start to make you react different ways. There was something 1153 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 2: else you said. I think everyone has childhood trauma.

And then sometimes I like to like do 1462 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 4: one like deep journey a week. So like last night 1463 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 4: I did a two hour breath work journey, and it was. 1464 01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 3: It was more intense. There was definitely the. 1465 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 4: For two hours, and then like everything started tingling and 1466 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,360 Speaker 4: I might have like, you know, levitated for a second. 1467 01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 3: I don't even know what happened. 1468 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 1: But. 1469 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 4: I went somewhere really really fucking enjoy my own company, 1470 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,280 Speaker 4: like I am such a great friend to me, Like 1471 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 4: I really like having moments to just spend with myself 1472 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 4: and there not be any comparison, there not being any 1473 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,440 Speaker 4: Like I can, honest to God, find joy and absolutely 1474 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,560 Speaker 4: anything and feel connected to it. So that's kind of 1475 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,120 Speaker 4: the way that I use my practice throughout the day. 1476 01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,759 Speaker 4: But also like if I enter a room in my house, 1477 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 4: I let it incense before I walk into my office, 1478 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 4: I do a prayer in the room, I light an incense, 1479 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 4: I light certain candles, I call in, you know, certain 1480 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 4: energies to just aid me. And that's a part of 1481 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,800 Speaker 4: every single day and of every process. If I run 1482 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 4: myself a bath, I do reiki over the water and 1483 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:58,720 Speaker 4: like say a prayer that the water rejuvenates me, and 1484 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 4: then I get in and you know, it's like there, 1485 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 4: I feel like there's always opportunity to turn something into 1486 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 4: like a moment, not just for growth. Like we can't 1487 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 4: get too focused on how we're growing, what we're growing, 1488 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 4: how we're healing. Sometimes it's like, let me relax into 1489 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 4: the pure joy of what is in this moment and 1490 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 4: exactly the version of myself who I am in this moment. 1491 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 4: I know I'm looking to potentially refine or chisel in 1492 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 4: this way and in this way, but I can also 1493 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 4: love the shit out of her right now as is. 1494 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 4: I can also love how she's showing up to herself 1495 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,719 Speaker 4: even when she hasn't figured out this tool yet. 1496 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 5: You know, I can. 1497 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 4: Still celebrate the process. So that's kind of like the 1498 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:44,040 Speaker 4: way that I move. But definitely I introduce breath to everything. 1499 01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 4: I introduce reiki to everything. I find ways to do 1500 01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 4: both in every part of my day. 1501 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's amazing.
