In this episode, Cheryl and Leta discuss:
The importance of speaking out about abuse
Striving to go past the point of survival
Taking steps to keep yourself safe
Taking responsibility for your own inner work
Key Takeaways:
Speaking out about your difficult experiences isn’t only beneficial for your own healing, they are also able to give others hope. Your resilience will inspire people and your willingness to talk about it will give them a safe space to also talk about the challenges that they face.
Strive to go past the point of survival and into overcoming adversity. Don’t be defined by what you went through, instead, try to home in on the lessons that you’ve learned and the character you’ve built up through your perseverance.
In a perfect world, women should be able to go wherever they want, wear whatever they want, and be safe. As it is right now, people have to make adjustments in order to be safe. One must be careful, acknowledging the danger, preparing for it, and avoiding it.
If we don’t take personal responsibility and work on our own character, we can be having a buffet of goodness in front of us and be starving. We won’t be able to confidently stand in the face of our own reflection. Fulfill your commitments to yourself, and be responsible for your own inner work.
“There becomes a point where your character, who you are, and the lessons learned from that are more important to you than the events.” — Leta Greene
