The SITuation

Kelsey and Vincent chat with Ashley Valliere (creator of ReKnowing) about relationships, healing deep emotional wounds, working out, and grocery lists. Peppered with belly laughs, useful metaphors for your healing journey, and other insights, this episode will inspire you to keep moving through the s#&% storm.

So. The s#&% storm. What is it? 

It can feel like full body vibrations, shaking, big emotions, and uncomfortable sensations. It's over analyzing, feeling small, and unworthy.  

Do you give yourself s#&% when you’re in the s#&% storm? Are your expectations about healing, your “coulda, shoulda, wouldas” in your way? 

How are you part of your own problem? (Yup. Accountability can suck, but sitting it can help you discover how you are participating in your suffering or trauma continuing?) 

Pain tempts us to numb out, ignore, or shut down, BUT you gotta feel it to heal it. 

It takes serious effort, diligence,...

Are you struggling to let go of people or things that are no longer serving you?

A lot of us have anxiety when it comes to letting go of things or people in our lives.

Maybe it’s that table you bought years ago that just doesn't feel good in your space.

Maybe it's relationships you keep hanging onto, even though deep down you know you should cut dies with them...

Maybe, like Vanessa, it’s a handwoven rug that your babcia made for you when you were fifteen.

Or maybe it’s just years of clutter you’ve shoved in your closets and drawers that you swore you would get rid of or organize, but has piled up so much that your drawers are literally barfing them out.
