Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

My name is Lisa A. Romano.

I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I am a believer in the power of an organized mind.

My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness

rather than living a reactive life.

May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope

as you spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

So today, we're going to be talking about how you can better trust your intuition,

My name is Lisa Romano and I talk everything that has to do with personal development,

healing from codependency, and of course, narcissistic abuse recovery. I like to talk about

these things because relationships are really at the core of what drives human behavior. If we had

an amazing relationship with our parents, if our hearts felt loved, then we grow up feeling safe,

then our brains wire for connection versus protection. I love that saying.

So if you grew up in a hostile home or if you felt like your parents were just disconnected,

like you couldn't connect to them, right, for whatever reason, even though it wasn't your

divine inner child's little fault, oftentimes you accept blame for it. That's where shame comes from.

So whenever you blame yourself, you also, the accompanying emotion is shame. So if you felt

unloved or if you weren't loved enough, and let's face it, most parents are doing the best

that they can, trying to pay a mortgage, dealing with their own past trauma stuff,

trying to get through a day. Most parents miss the mark. There are some parents who are malevolent.
