In this 3-part series, Flipping The Script, the tables have turned, Christina Dunbar - a BFF, an extraordinary artist, writer, founder and guide for women's voices, is interviewing me! We talk about my journey of struggling with health issues, rebuilding my ife, and creating a new community- Bold Beyond. You will learn about perseverance through immense challenges, finding the courage to listen to your body and soul, creating supportive community connections, embracing the unknown, and living a life beyond limits with boldness and purpose.
Flipping The Script Part 2: Rewriting The Story
This part details Kristina's shift from fighting her body to surrendering and listening to its whispers. It shares her journey of reconnecting to her body wisdom, the tiny steps and threads that began putting her back together, and key moments where she regained trust in being able to heal herself. And the plot twist at the end. Let’s get to it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1: Embracing Surrender and Listening to Inner Wisdom: There comes a time in our lives when we must let go of the fight against our circumstances and surrender to the whispers of our inner selves, allowing us to approach challenges with fresh openness and acceptance.
2: Rewriting the Narrative Through Self-Exploration: Through practices like journaling, movement, and various healing modalities, we have the power to rewrite the narratives of our lives, rebuilding a relationship of radical self-trust and rediscovering our inherent worth and resilience.
3: Navigating the Complexity of Healing: Healing is not a linear journey. By embracing this complexity and holding space for both our challenges and moments of hope, we allow ourselves to follow tiny threads of hope that guide us forward.
4: Finding Allies in Unexpected Places: Sometimes, amidst the sea of dismissal and misunderstanding, we encounter individuals who truly see and hear us, becoming invaluable allies in our journey. Their validation and understanding can help us rebuild trust in ourselves after years of doubt and skepticism.
5: Tapping into Inner Wisdom and Feminine Energy: There's a profound wisdom in embracing the feminine qualities of introspection, stillness, and reconnecting with our bodies' guidance. Instead of seeking external solutions, we can find strength and healing by turning inward and honoring the innate wisdom that resides within us.
