Hey, it's your girl, simply Shanika, and you are now listening to The Goddess Confessions. the goddess confessions. A lot of people have been asking me how I've been able to transform my mindset my entire life if you want to know and I'll say this it was definitely a process

it has been a process since about 2016 when something happened in my life that definitely gave me the wake-up call that I needed, you know, and at that moment, and I'll never forget the

exact moment, that's when I knew that I had to make changes. There has to be more to life than just

the mundane things that we care about and you know there just has to be

something something different there's something missing and I wanted to know so

I asked and I went on that journey.

But the most important thing that a lot of people have to realize,

and one thing that I know most of you struggle with is

healing from past trauma and letting go of hurt, letting go of pain, of pain, disappointment.

At some point in life, you're going to have to let go of those things that are holding you back,

those things that are hurting you,

that anger that you have towards that person that did whatever they did to you.

At some point you're going to have to let that go if you want to grow.

Take it from someone who knows.

I always use myself as an example because

everything that I talk about

I've personally experienced, which is why I know what I'm

saying to you works and it's absolutely true. I've had people do some awful things to me in my life. Some things I'll never talk about, maybe,

and that's just how awful they are, but I've had to forgive all of those people and accept that those things

happened and I had to allow myself to cry. There have been many

nights where I've sat up and I've been crying and I just felt like life was over for me because I couldn't get over the pain.

And then one day I realized, why am I still letting this haunt me? What is really the issue here? Let me let me get down to it.
