We live in a cultural that is in opposition to the true mindset of happiness, love and acceptance. In this episode, we will explore how choosing to love and accept yourself right where you are is the key to moving out of shame-based mindsets that keep you stuck in cycles of addiction, fear, blame, and feelings unworthiness of the love and freedom you desire. You will begin to see that when you radically accept that you are worthy of love and belonging, even in the midst of times when you are not living from your best self, you can begin to live free of the shame that holds you hostage. We will explore the skills of radical acceptance and meditation practice of RAIN by Tara Brach to help you address where you are stuck in your pain and learn to integrate your story of woundedness rather than spend energy running away, numbing out, or remaining in conflict with others. If you are someone seeking to transform your pain into purpose then this is the podcast for you!
