Part 3: Birthing My New Creation
This is the finale episode 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 struggling with health issues, rebuilding my life, and creating a new community, Bold Beyond.
The finale explores how I discovered my entire life and career was built on a trauma response. We talk about how I blew up my life to strip away the old labels and identities, the descent into the darkness of the unknown, and how the spark for a Bold Beyond emerged from a curiosity experiment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
1: Unraveling the Layers of Self-Discovery: Sometimes, we uncover that our lives and identities have been shaped by coping mechanisms and responses to past traumas. This realization prompts us to embark on a journey of radical self-discovery, unraveling the layers of our constructed selves to reveal our authentic essence underneath.
2: Breaking Free from Limiting Labels: In the pursuit of authenticity, we may find ourselves called to dismantle the structures of our lives that no longer serve us. This process involves breaking free from limiting identities and labels that we've adopted but aren't truly reflective of who we are, allowing us to step into our true power and potential.
3: Embracing the Darkness of Transformation: True transformation often requires descending into the darkness of the unknown, confronting the discomfort of shedding old layers of identity, and sitting with the uncertainty of not knowing who we are becoming. It's in this darkness that we rediscover the wisdom of our bodies and reconnect with our true essence.
4: The Power of Curiosity and Aliveness: Sometimes, profound shifts in our lives emerge from simple acts of curiosity and following the spark of aliveness. By engaging in experiments that ignite our curiosity and asking thoughtful questions, we create fertile ground for new possibilities to emerge organically, leading us toward our purpose and passion.
5: Empowering Collective Growth Through Community: Our vision for the future often stems from our personal journey of growth and transformation. Kristina's vision to empower women to rise together and move beyond their limitations is a testament to the power of a supportive community in fostering collective growth, breaking down barriers, and opening doors of possibility for all.
