The Journey Inward: Recent Episodes
Christina Ruth Mellor
Meet your new best friend on the journey home to yourself. Together we'll talk about how we can befriend ourselves, unmask who we truly are, remove toxicity from our lives, and day by day create a kinder landing place for ourselves to call home.
Join me for the last episode of season 1!! I thought I'd end the season by describing why I started it. I believe that art can change our inner worlds so much. That seeing ourselves through kinder eyes is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves.

On May 31st, 2021, Matt Jaggi was preparing to do a psychedelic mushroom trip with a trusted love interest. In a life-changing turn of events, Matt was drugged with LSD, led to the roof, and pushed off his second-story building, falling 35 feet down a roof and landing on concrete. Matt’s love interest blamed it all on him, twisted the story, and then disappeared from Matt’s life for good. This episode is airing on the two-year anniversary of that fateful day, and it’s time to set the story straight. This is what actually happened that day and everything Matt has learned about betrayal, healing, and finding his voice again.

Yoga with Adriene: Yoga for forgiveness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXroyyDydRk
Anger is not a bad or unacceptable feeling, but we also don't want to get stuck there. We don't want our anger to transform into a bitter shell of protection that keeps every beautiful and peaceful thing in life just out of arms reach. I share my experience leaving the mormon church and how I transformed the anger and resentment I felt into understanding, which eventually led to forgiveness. We find liberation through forgiveness. You deserve it.

Today we're exploring how good it can get when we make room to receive. If you deflect compliments, question the motives behind others kindness, or starve yourself of your own validation and comfort...this ones for you. Life can't get good if we're unwilling to make space for it to get good. I talk about going viral on Tiktok once I decided I was ready to be seen, the craziest birthday party of my life, and what happens when we train our body to open up instead of shutting down in the face of abundance.
