Welcome to Keeping It Kind With Kind At Heart.

Episode recorded 30/08/2020. 

Today on the podcast we’re talking about healing family relationships. This podcast episode is very special to me, as i am having a very powerful beautiful conversation with my mum. 

We delve into the past and have an open, honest dialogue about our experiences during times that were very difficult for us. It has taken me a lot of work in order to get to this place where i can look back with acceptance and compassion. Sharing these vulnerable conversations are never easy but i believe by having them we create a safe space for people to ponder on their own family relationships. 

As i have mentioned on previous podcast episodes it has taken me a long time to learn to accept myself and my family, so many traumatic events lead me to always trying to run away from my life, i left to go travelling a good few years and i left not just to travel but also to escape. 

In the last few years I’ve done a lot of soul searching and realised a lot about my experiences and stories, and learnt to change the narrative around them, so i was able to let go and heal. I am now able to reflect back and piece together a bit more accurately of why things may of unfolded the way they did, it’s allowed me find closure and forgive. It’s also allowed me to see the purpose of the darkness and how much light and power them experiences have given me. 

I feel fortunate enough to be in a place where i can now hold an open heart towards my family and start to heal and mend them broken relationships, because if i wasn’t able to look at them differently i would still be trying to avoid and suppress my experiences which would of kept me trapped. 

Until we accept and allow space for healing we won’t ever be able to step into our real authentic selfs because something will always feel missing, and we will always be trying to find that missing pieces.  In order to live a fulfilling life we have to come to peace with the past and unfortunately this isn’t a simple task. It takes a lot of shadow work to be able to come to full acceptance for our past. 

Remember to be patient with yourself during this journey, it’s going to take time and be uncomfortable but it’s the only thing that can set up free. 

Thank you for reading and listening to this podcast episode.
