Today’s episode is very near and dear to my heart. I got to sit down with an incredible graduate of the Empowered.Secure.Loved. Relationship Program, Kelly.

We dove into the unconscious beliefs that shaped Kelly’s past relationships, the importance of recognizing patterns, and the transformative moments that led her to finally seek support.

Kelly emphasizes the significance of building a relationship with oneself and the role of community in the healing process, ultimately leading to new beliefs and a healthy approach to dating.

This is a cannot miss episode! I know you will be as inspired by Kelly as I am.

If you related to Kelly’s story, and you know you are ready for your own healing journey, the time is now to take action.

You are so worthy of doing the healing work.
