About this episode

I didn't think I'd ever bring this to the podcast. I share a part of my story I've spent over a decade trying to forget, from my childhood and first boyfriend to how I ended up sitting in the pews of what I thought was a church but was really a cult. I share three lessons from it: choose your hard, let people earn a seat at your table, and know there are no mistakes and you're stronger than you think.

What you'll learn

  • My childhood, first boyfriend and how I ended up vulnerable, sitting in the pews of what I thought was a church, but was really a cult.
  • Three lessons I learn through this experience:
  • The importance of not shying away from the hard situations in life and choosing our hard.
  • People need to earn a seat at our table and don’t just get to be there by default because they’re ‘family’
  • There are no such things as mistakes - and we are so much stronger than we ever give ourselves credit for!

Well, I didn’t think I’d bring this to the podcast. I actually didn’t think I’d talk about this publicly at all. Mainly because it is a part of my story I have been trying for over a decade to forget… but as I get older I realise that in order to be the woman I was destined to be, I need to face my own baggage and heal - from the inside out. So today, for episode 100, I’m bringing this personal story to you. Please pour me a glass of wine.
