Description

Getting through the darkest and most difficult emotions in life isn't always about sheer force or brute strength. It's about reassurance, confidence, grace, and learning to use that darkness as a source of power. After having her second child and surviving two miscarriages, Cordelia Gaffar felt less like herself than ever before. Rather than go on antidepressants while nursing her daughter, she dove headfirst into nutrition, fitness, and spiritual practice on a journey to unload the weight of her emotions and get back to who she really was.

Today, Cordelia joins the podcast to talk about the trauma of her postpartum depression, finding relief without going on medication, and how to take back control of the chaos that surrounds us all in everyday life.

Cordelia is an Emotions Opener and Transformation Strategist who helps leaders lean into difficult emotions so they can show up powerfully. She is the best-selling co-author of America's Leading Ladies, as well as a new book about her signature Replenish Me Process coming later this year.

Pearls of Wisdom

• Why relief comes from creating and embracing harmony in our lives, cultivating an environment of compassion and self-forgiveness, and how these techniques make us better humans, parents, and leaders.
• Why now is the time to release the need to do everything that's expected and accepted and reassess what your values are. Your self-compassion will radiate out into your household and beyond. When you create habits that honor your values, you create an environment for rebirth.

• How to approach your healing from a place of concern, compassion, and self-nurturing. It's time to stop focusing on doing things to take care of yourself and instead prioritize doing what will support you right now for the love of yourself and your children.
