Beyond a Survivor with Karen Messina

You will LOVE Alexis, just as I did after meeting and talking with her.  She has a beautiful soul, a caring heart and a very impressive story. Take a listen.

If you are healing and growing and moving forward as a survivor, there is one thing that we sometimes do and it is self-sabotage. How do we self sabotage? By settling. Let's talk about it!!

I am super excited to have a special guest on my podcast today. Her name is Theresa Schmidtman. - She is an independent beauty consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics, she is a mom and a grandmother and a survivor which has made her an amazingly strong woman. I loved her as soon as I met her and I know you will too.

What are you afraid of?  Learn how to take control of your end result.  

So, what is your gut instinct telling you? Most times, gut instinct is accurate. You know you,  and you know if something is good for you or not. But often times we ignore our gut instincts.  Take a listen.

If you are interested in joining me, along with a group of amazing women to get this movement to GIVE SURVIVORS THIER POWER AND CONTROL BACK, than stay tuned.

Are things going wrong in your brain but the outside world is going great? You have to allow yourself to feel OK about things going wrong in your life rather than trying to find evidence that you are broken or that life sucks or things only happen to you. Check it out!!

Your life has been made up of experiences. Good, bad and indifferent. Our experiences are what have shaped us and in some cases labeled us. So rather than talk about our past and our past emotional wounds and even our past emotional trauma ….lets just refer to our life as a series of experiences.

I want to bust the chains that bind us and tether us to our past and to the identity that we have created for ourselves by what other people may think or say. What is holding you back? What is the fear that keeps you stuck?

How are you navigating your life now with what has happened to you? How have your past experiences impacted your current life. Lets dive in....

Sometimes we are just afraid to reach out for help.  I can help by answering some of your burning questions,

I want to talk about being stuck in a space in your life and why it feels like you are not moving forward (especially after a toxic relationship or unsafe environments ) and how to move forward from here.

Let’s look at brain health instead of mental health and start Loving Your Brain. I was listening to a podcast with Daniel Amen, MD. He is a double board certified psychiatrist, the founder of Amen clinics and a 10 time New York Times bestselling author. He inspired much of this episode today.

Doesn’t it feel like you are watching your life pass you by? So much has happened, over so many years, but you feel like your life is at a stand still and everyone and everything is passing you by. You will love this episode because I unpack all of it. Take a listen.

I know this sounds like a crazy concept to stop trying but trying just means you failed ahead of time and doing is what you really want to have happen.  Just think about it how many times in your life you said “I tried and I couldn't do it” Take a listen and learn how DOING is what is needed rather than just TRYING.

There are a few things that I can guarantee for you. Doing nothing won’t get you to where you want to be Blaming others for your current circumstance also won’t help you Staying in victim mode is a waste of your precious time Take a listen......

Let's get serious and really talk about making changes in your life that will benefit you and not hinder your progress. Now is the time to make some changes. You are worth it Your life is worth it And the people in your life are worth it too

You can choose to stay in your current situation - being unhappy and feeling stuck and dealing with triggers that sabotage your life OR You can choose JOY Which do you want?

Today I answered 3 of the questions sent to me.  Let me answer your questions......send them to me.   Enjoy!

Are you GIVING up? Or are you ready to GET up and get started making the hard changes in your life that need to happen for you to see results?

Today we are going to get serious about emotional healing and who’s responsibility it is?  You can complain about your life, but that won't fix anything. Taking charge and taking responsibility for your own healing journey is the answer.  Take a listen.

You have the power within you to change anything you want in your life.  Feel, Heal and Create your future life.

So since there has been so much talk lately about men groping women, unwanted touching, sexual advances toward women and even boys and some men I thought I’d talk about feeling safe and not feeling safe in your environment. Take a listen. 

You are not an island....  reach out for help, there is no shame it that.....

What your nervous system needs in order to move forward is Safety.  Flexibility.    To experience more joy and abundance
