درباره این اپیزود
In this episode (16) of The Yearning Heart Podcast, Jennifer J. Lehr, LMFT, speaks with Willow Light, an esthetician, herbalist, and intuitive healer, about her powerful journey of healing from childhood trauma and toxic relationships.
Willow shares openly about growing up in foster care, the impact of her mother’s mental illness, and how these wounds shaped her choices in love. From a stable but spiritually mismatched marriage, to a painful six-year relationship with a narcissistic alcoholic, to the deep healing that followed—including psilocybin journeys and therapy—her story is one of resilience, courage, and transformation.
Now, Willow is in a spiritually aligned relationship with someone she’s known since childhood. Her journey shows how our deepest wounds can lead us toward growth, self-love, and hope.
✨ Topics in this episode:
The “mother wound” and “father wound” in relationships
Why we sometimes attract toxic partners
The seductive pull of narcissistic love
Nature, meditation, and psilocybin as healing tools
Moving from dependency → toxic entanglement → interdependent love
💜 A story of descent, healing, and renewal—proof that even our most painful chapters can open the way to love.
