💬 Episode Notes:
Healing begins by understanding the “core issues” that drive our behaviors, emotions, and relationship patterns.
Our earliest attachment experiences shape how we perceive love, trust, and safety in adult relationships.
The concept of *birthrights* refers to the inherent worth, belonging, and love we are all born deserving of.
Healing our core issues means reclaiming these birthrights that may have been disrupted by trauma or neglect.
Mindfulness and self-awareness are key tools in identifying emotional triggers and interrupting negative cycles.
True transformation happens when we integrate new ways of being, not just new ways of thinking.
Emotional healing isn’t linear — it unfolds through compassion, curiosity, and consistency.
Deep relational repair starts with self-connection; we can’t offer others what we deny ourselves.
When we learn to respond rather than react, we shift from survival mode into secure attachment.
Healing our own wounds allows us to model wholeness, safety, and love in all of our relationships.
