Summary

When you’ve been hurt by someone you trusted, it feels impossible that you’ll ever let go of the pain and shame around what happened and be able to stand in your power again. The truth is that though you feel like a victim, and you feel taken advantage of, or like you’re completely broken, it is possible to move past this situation and open yourself to love and safety without fear. Najwa Zebian has joined us on Women of Impact multiple times and each time she’s been able to put words to the pain that has blindsided many women and offer a new perspective through which we can move out of survival mode and truly start healing. She’s the bestselling author of Welcome Home, Mind Platter, Sparks of Phoenix and so much more. As a woman she’s experienced the difficulties of life, going against culture, and being open and vulnerable with the wrong people. In this episode, Najwa and Lisa are bringing you a fresh look at setting boundaries. It’s not about keeping people out or giving other people a set of rules to follow, it’s about your personal value and how you see your self-worth. Being a people pleasing woman may have landed you in painful situations, but you can make peace with that version of you and ask yourself the one question that will bring you to tears, healing, and freedom.
