Join me for a discussion of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza and the awareness of the limiting belief of blocking the good and embracing the bad. If you grew up in an abusive situation you most likely carry this belief. Being aware of how to break the internal automatic cycles we carry is an important part of rewriting our lives.
In this show, podcasters Shari and Jann Simmons discuss how our experiences can be perceived differently when they are viewed through a lens of gratitude or trauma or pessimism, etc. For example, when viewing life from a lens of positivity, one might see a traffic jam as an opportunity to spend some time alone in the car, listening to music. If a traffic jam goes through a filter of negativity, it will most likely be seen as a frustrating inconvenience that leaves us tense and stressed out. The power of these filters in determining our choices is discussed. Join us for Part II in a couple weeks when we talk about how to throw out filters that no longer work!

Wow! This real and raw podcast features Mel Wells, a survivor who rose from the ashes of an adolescence that left her broken, traumatized and fleeing for her life. After years of abuse from a family member, Mel found herself in the clutches of a perpetrator who groomed her and sold her into sex slavery. She spent years running from one state to another to escape his brainwashing until she finally found what she was looking for…herself.
Mel is the proud mother of three adult children and precious grand baby. She started her facebook page, Safe Place for Survivors where she inspires others to embrace their power, own their strength and create a new narrative.

“I use the same thing with offering mindfulness to people: you don’t need to go right in to look at Medusa’s eyes, you know, grab a shield… feel your feet on the floor and look around the room. Have a guide. Don’t go into that bad neighborhood alone.” ~Joe Clements
