This episode is all about finding your own self-worth and learning to trust your judgement. We loved this conversation for anyone who may be facing trauma or domestic abuse, or finding your confidence again after some hard knocks.
Some key lessons and insights from Rebecca's story include:
- It's important to take time after a difficult relationship to reflect on what you want and don't want in a partner
- How Rebecca learned to set healthy boundaries and not rush into another relationship for fear of being alone
- Recognizing the gradual nature of abuse and not blaming yourself for ending up in an unhealthy situation
- How telling your story can help you own your experience, feel less shame, and see that you've grown from hard times
- How finding people who make you feel safe enough to share allows you to fully show up in relationships
- How keeping difficult experiences inside can feel lonely, while telling your story helps you reclaim power over your narrative
- Learning to speak your own truth
By owning every part of your journey - even the parts that once brought shame - you see how far you've come.
