Year of Self-Care: Love

Love is a powerful force for change. And most survivors are great at GIVING love ... and most struggle to RECEIVE love!

I share about how love can move us through the toughest of things and how self-love makes it possible to face the tough stuff and take care of ourselves in it.

This week ... the invitation is to choose love!

Year of Self-Care: Goals

I know that this word can be both inspiring and horrifying. Goal setting can be a real drag, especially when our goals turn into yet another way we beat ourselves up.

But it doesn't have to be that way, particularly if we release our attachment to the outcomes to some extent.

Hear about that and about one of my personal goals....finding a way to spend an extended amount of time in St. Louis to be with mom!

Toby: Keeping Your Child Safe

             

In this episode, I introduce you to Toby Stark – who I have recently partnered with to bring The Empowered Parent: A Sexual Abuse Prevention & Response program to the Beyond Surviving Community!

We dig in to important topics like practical ways to minimize the risk of abuse, how to recognize the warning signs of abuse, how to response to a disclosure, discovery, or suspicion of abuse.

And of course, how all of this plays out for someone who has experienced childhood trauma themselves!

3 Power Poses to Help You Access Your Healing Breath

Do you know the 3 poses that most support diaphragmatic breathing? Well, I'm here to share them with you! Breathing through the diaphragm helps us to activate the vagus nerve, which stimulates the relaxation response.

This type of breathing will help you come out of states of activation, but it's also a great practice to incorporate into your day to day to strengthen and nurture your nervous system.

Let me know which of the 3 poses you liked the most!!

Year of Self-Care: Patience

By definition, patience means to accept ... to accept a delay, a suffering, a disappointment, a trouble, a situation ... without anger.

Oooo weeeee can that be a tall order, especially if our nervous system is stuck in fight or flight! Especially if we've been on a healing journey for what feels like forever and we still aren't where we want to be.

Yet the slowing down and the stillness that comes with patience can help temper our attitude, improve our mood, help us process and heal, and ultimately step into greatness.

It was the lowest time in my life, and then....

I met Kathy in 2021. She was at an all time low in her life. She had just gone through a terrible break-up and been kicked out of her home. Her confidence had been destroyed and she was just living moment by moment. But like so many of my clients, Kathy is a fighter and refused to surrender to the circumstances of her life.

I knew right away when we first met for a free consultation that Kathy and I clicked and I was so excited to get started walking alongside her.

By the end of our time together, Kathy had regained her confidence, come to deeply believe in her worth and badassness, and she even bought her "forever" home!!

Listen to Kathy's story!

What Kathy wants you to know:

"I know you're probably struggling right now...and thinking that it can't get any worse than this, maybe that you're not worth it. But I'm telling you right now, it's absolutely not true. If you give Rachel a chance to help you, you will be so glad you did that. Your life is worth it. You are worth it."

Year of Self-Care: Trust

Trusting our own heart and mind is definitely a skill we have to acquire in order to thrive. Being our most authentic self, marching to the beat of our own drum, charting a course that is alignment with our own values all rely on self-trust.

Even though abuse may cause you to be full of self-doubt, it does not have to remain this way. You can learn to trust yourself and your decisions and show up in the world as the amazing unique person you are!
