About
If you’re really exhausted wishing you could get a grip on your feelings and make decisions without being scared that you might make the wrong one, then this might be the podcast for you.    I was in India many moons ago, wishing I had the emotional strength and willpower to leave an unhealthy relationship. I remember being curled up in a ball, tears running off my face, and soaking the mattress where my face was mashed into.  I wished I had someone like me to help me understand why taking that step and getting out was so hard. I was young, and I didn’t want to die miserably. But I was scared that I might make the wrong move.  I was emotionally strong. I was smart and had a successful journalism career. It made logical sense to leave. But I couldn’t get my mind and emotions to believe what my logic knew. That was because I didn’t understand how my past experiences affected my present feeling and decisions.    I had to learn the connection between my body and mind before I could change anything to get the kind of life and relationship I wanted.    ✅ I studied psychology ✅ I learned about attachment styles ✅ I learned how my past experiences triggered emotions ✅ I learned how cultural and traditional beliefs influence our feelings and decisions ✅ I learned that empathy is the tool for emotional freedom ✅ I learned what they meant when they said, “set boundaries,” and it’s not what we think it means.    I made a conscious decision to work on becoming free of hurt, anger, and fear decades ago. I wanted to be detached from everything and everyone so that I could love unconditionally. That will make more sense as you listen to this podcast ( if you choose to subscribe ? ).    And I did exactly what I set out to do so many years ago.    I have never felt more in control of my life and free. And I will teach you everything I have learned here. So, if you want to free yourself from every time someone says or does something hurtful, join me on this journey. Of course, you are more than encouraged to invite your friends and family who may want to come along to free themselves too.    You can also follow me on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook. ?   What do I do?    Most people know what they want but don’t know how to get it. That’s because they don’t know who they are as yet. I dig deep and get to know them because everyone is different, and when I get to know them, I know how to help them to get what they want.      What do I call myself?    I am a Humanologist, which means that I study the science of why people act and think the way they do.    What makes my heart sing?   Nothing makes me happier than seeing hope in a person’s eyes after they realize they can be okay again after their heart has been broken.      Why   Nothing breaks my heart more than knowing someone feels alone, unwanted, or not good enough.    What do I lead people to?   I believe the bottom line of true happiness and success lies in how we feel about ourselves, how we feel in our relationships, and what legacy we want to leave for our children.

GHOSTING- Why They Do That

Ghosting is a phenomenon where one person abruptly cuts off all communication with another without any explanation or warning. This can leave the person being ghosted feeling confused, hurt, and rejected. The sudden disappearance of someone they thought they had a connection with can lead to feelings of abandonment and low self-worth. The lack of closure can also leave the person haunted by unanswered questions and doubts about themselves.Psychologically, ghosting can have a significant impact on a person's mental health. It can trigger feelings of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, as they struggle to make sense of the sudden rejection. The lack of communication can lead to rumination and overthinking, as the person tries to understand what they did wrong or why they were not worthy of a simple explanation. This can erode their self-esteem and trust in others, making it difficult for them to form new relationships in the future.The emotional fallout from being ghosted can also manifest in physical symptoms such as insomnia, loss of appetite, and increased stress levels. The sense of betrayal and abandonment can linger long after the ghosting incident, affecting the person's ability to trust and open up to others. It can take time and effort to heal from the psychological damage caused by ghosting, as the person works through their feelings of rejection and learns to rebuild their self-esteem and sense of worth.Support the show

🔒 A New Chapter

Subscriber-only episodeWhen we start a healing journey, it's good to ask for support from others. They can help us in many ways, like giving us support and motivation. However, we need to appreciate who we can turn to.Starting a healing journey can be exciting but also tough. Having support from others can make a big difference. They can give us support and encouragement, and help us when things get difficult. That being said, we need to know how to ask for what we need, instead of taking advice that may not be in alignment with our wants and needs.It's also important to think about how they may feel when we start to change on our healing journey. Change can be hard for everyone, not just for us. Our loved ones might be used to the way things were, and our growth might disturb that. So, it is important to be compassionate and kind.By considering the feelings of others, we can talk to them openly and honestly. We can explain why we need to change and show them that it doesn't mean we don't care about them. We can tell them that we want to improve ourselves while still keeping our connection strong. This way, we can make sure our relationships stay healthy and strong.So, when we start a healing journey, asking for support can help us a lot. And, it's also important to be considerate of others' feelings. This way, we can all grow and change in a positive and caring way. And in this episode, we do the first thing that anyone does when they want success, find support to grow.Best of wishes on this path.
