Ep. 210 Reparenting Your Inner Child During The Struggles of Motherhood ft. Christine Hassler

From ⁠Laura Chung⁠ "Welcome to my corner of the interwebs. Authenticity means everything to me and it’s important to me that you know who I am, my story, and how I came to be. I was born in Queens, NY and I like to mention this because Peter Parker (aka Spiderman) was also born in Queens. I grew up just outside of Manhattan, an idyllic suburb that I couldn’t wait to move away from. I attended Manhattan College in Riverdale, NY and I studied psychology. In 2003, I got hit with the wanderlust arrow when I studied abroad in Granada, Spain. That experience changed my life. I went on to get my Masters of Science in Industrial and Organizational Psychology at Alliant University in San Diego, CA.I followed the “traditional” path by way of working in corporate America because honestly, I didn’t know there were other options. In 2017, at the apex of what I thought was a life achievement, I wanted to see what else life had to offer. My intention at that time was to be a travel, food, and culture blogger who travels the world. My inspiration was and continues to be Anthony Bourdain and his show No Reservations (RIP). It was during my travels that I was called to deepen my healing and spiritual journey.I never intended to help others with their healing journey or even to teach but I guess this path chooses you. People started to come to me for Reiki healing. I started leading full moon circles in New York City. In a busy city like New York, I found that people wanted to live more mindfully and also find connection through community. Like me, people were curious about the subtle realms and the magic that weaves through life. In 2020, the pandemic changed everything for me, like everyone else in the world. All of my in person healings, circles, and teachings moved online. Even though I missed being able to connect with people in person, I was able to reach people all over the world. This brings us to today. Right here and right now. You probably found me through one of my social media platforms and I roped you into coming here, just kidding. In 2022, my first book, How To Manifest was published by Union Square Publishing. I am the host of the Awaken and Align podcast which is in alignment with my passion in life, which is to speak to inspiring people around the world about spirituality and collective liberation.

Find Jerry HERE and make sure to check out his book ⁠RETURNING ⁠ . "For nearly five decades, I lived with the palpable pain of unhealed trauma and shame. Growing up in a house filled with poverty, substance abuse, and physical, sexual, and emotional abuse left me with profound wounds.  The trauma and abuse started as early as I can remember and so did my use of drugs and alcohol. At age five my parents began giving me alcohol to reward me for chores. At 9 I began using drugs with family members, and by the time I was 14 I was in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. At 17, I decided to change and devoted my life in service to God, I served as a pastor for 13 years, and spent 16 years serving the poor. None of this removed the shame. The pressures and failures of trying to be a “good Christian” and to “please God” only filled me with more shame.  By my mid-forties the never ending need to try and prove myself turned me into a workaholic, wrecked my nervous system and led to severe burn-out. I was emotionally numb, suicidal, having constant anxiety and panic attacks, and was drinking myself to death. Finally it all fell apart. Over a two-year period, I had a heart attack, open heart surgery, a stay in rehab, a second divorce, and another visit to rehab. My last stay in rehab opened my eyes to the unhealed trauma and deep shame I was living with. I saw how my drinking and destructive behaviors were my best efforts to survive the pain I was in.  On my final day of rehab during my last group session, I spoke the words, “I am worthy of my own love.” When I said those words something tangibly shifted deep inside me.   For the first time in my life, I realized that the source of my suffering wasn’t just the pain of trauma but a separation from love, my own love. I decided at that moment I was going to learn what it meant to love myself, and how I could heal my life.Since that day, I have been researching and experimenting with the ways we heal. A journey that has taken me around the world and into places and spaces I never dreamed I would have ventured into. I’ve explored sources of suffering and the science and spiritual practices that heal us from within. Dissecting how trauma, toxic religious beliefs, unhealthy relationships, and society can contribute to a deep sense of shame, suffering, and addictions for many of us. I became a student of how mindfulness, meditation, self-examination, traditional and non-traditional therapies, self-love, and self-compassion help us rewire our systems and heal.  I discovered that we are the healers that we have been looking for all along. I began to see how we can awaken to our own ability to heal ourselves, how we can remove roadblocks that we have in loving ourselves, and the practices we can use to heal ourselves. Ultimately it is about healing our relationship with ourselves, and that relationship begins to heal when we give ourselves permission to love ourselves" ------------- Work with me, your host,  here: Thelovelyalea.com  Get my free MAGIC MENTOR guide at thelovelyalea.com Become a Patreon Member to get behind the scenes, extra content, and workshops.patreon.com/thelovelyalea Follow me on Instagram instagram.com/thelovelyalea ( Remember I will never DM you for readings - watch out for Scammers ! ) Check out my workshops at Spiritualshitschool.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovelyalea/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovelyalea/support

I have always wondered, "What is the point of earth? " Why do we come here and what are we coming here to learn? That the experience many of us have had here has been a little less than savory if you know what I mean. So I have been exploring this for many years and had a revelation or remembrance is what I'm calling it, that finally gives me the answers that I've been looking for to make sense of all this madness. Maybe it will help you too?

Meet Zoey Greco. Zoey has had her intuitive ability her entire life, as well as her gift for healing. Able to describe her past lives and experiences in the beyond as an infant, all through her childhood she was able to "see" what wasn't there and to "hear" what wasn't said. Renowned psychics instantly recognized her as "gifted" and prophesied that she would one day have a powerful impact on the world.In her college years, her abilities seemingly expanded to a bit of an overwhelming degree, and though it was not her life plan, she felt that it was time to make an inevitable shift into healing as her life’s calling.After many gratifying years in private practice serving a global client base of thousands, Zoey began to recognize a thread of connection that wove through her sessions with clients. She felt as though each person was living a different version of a similar story, and was seeking the same thing...a way to be connected to Spirit, and consequently, a way to feel more connected to themselves and to life itself.Through the Mystic Rebel Podcast, her Intuition Activation Mentorship, and through her twice sold out Mystic Rebel Oracle and Crystal decks, Zoey helps others experience healing, discover community, and feel far less alone in their spiritual and personal journeys. She teaches others that we all have the power of intuition and can develop it with the use of many spiritual tools and modalities to manifest a life of endless possibilities. Through sharing real client sessions as well as spiritual lessons and guest interviews with other incredible practitioners, Zoey hopes to introduce spiritual novices to the world of healing, and facilitate deeper growth and expansion for life-long seekers. She wishes for nothing more than to help guide souls back home to Truth and Love.  ___________ Work with me, your host,  here: Thelovelyalea.com  Get my free MAGIC MENTOR guide at thelovelyalea.com Become a Patreon Member to get behind the scenes, extra content, and workshops.patreon.com/thelovelyalea Follow me on Instagram instagram.com/thelovelyalea ( Remember I will never DM you for readings - watch out for Scammers ! ) Check out my workshops at Spiritualshitschool.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovelyalea/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovelyalea/support
