In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Anjalia McGoldrick, psychotherapist, metaphysician, and author of The Child I Left Behind: A Mother’s Journey Toward Healing and Forgiveness. Anjalia opens up about her early years of abuse, teenage motherhood, and survival against all odds. She shares how mentors like Dr. Wayne Dyer guided her shift from survival to spiritual awakening, and how forgiveness—especially self-forgiveness—became the cornerstone of her healing. This conversation is raw, deeply personal, and a testament to resilience, spirituality, and the human spirit’s power to transform pain into purpose.
Anjalia McGoldrick is a psychotherapist, metaphysician, and author dedicated to helping others break cycles of trauma and reclaim their light. From her own lived experience of childhood abuse, teenage motherhood, and decades of self-healing, she built one of the largest counseling and wellness centers in Southwest Virginia. Her memoir, The Child I Left Behind, is both a personal journey and a message of hope for those seeking healing through forgiveness and spiritual awakening.
Healing often begins not with confidence, but with one trembling step forward.
Forgiveness is not about excusing others—it’s about freeing yourself.
Self-forgiveness can be more difficult than forgiving others but is essential for peace.
Trauma survivors may become overachievers, but true healing requires turning inward.
“You must feel in order to heal”—emotional processing is the key to recovery.
Writing your story can itself become a spiritual and healing journey.
Sharing truth openly allows others to step out of the shadows and reclaim their voice.
Spiritual practices of stillness and reflection help cut through life’s distractions.
Every painful experience carries the potential to become wisdom and compassion.
Healing is not about perfection—it’s about showing up authentically and with self-compassion.
