In this episode of The Courageous Survivor, I dive deep into the complex relationship between our innate need for connection and the importance of staying true to oneself. I explore how early life experiences, especially those involving trauma, can deeply affect our ability to connect authentically while remaining true to who we are. Reflecting on my own journey, I share how my upbringing and past experiences led to a disconnect between my true self and the person I felt I had to be to survive.

Throughout the episode, I discuss the process of rewiring these foundational aspects of myself, addressing the ways in which I’ve learned to prioritize my needs, set healthy boundaries, and make decisions based on facts rather than feelings. This journey of self-discovery has been a challenging but necessary part of my healing process, and I invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences and the ways they might be making decisions out of a need for connection rather than from a place of authenticity.

Join me as I continue to explore these themes, sharing insights from my healing journey and offering encouragement to others who may be on a similar path.
