The armour that once protected you might now be the very thing keeping you from not only real connection - but a life path and purpose that are truly meant for you. The question is: can we wake up to a different way, one that lives just underneath our shielding and control..?
In this episode, Anthea is joined by a deeply present and grounded voice, to explore what it means to live with emotional presence and integrity in your everyday life - Miriam Binder, Master Coach with Integral Coaching Canada, and former Corporate Executive.
You’ll learn about the subtle ways we disconnect through dissociation, control and self protection, and how these patterns impact our ability to experience authentic connection and conscious relationships. You’ll also learn about the loneliness that can sit behind the armour, and the courage it takes to soften into vulnerability and connection. These facets ultimately become the re-building of a sense of self that redirects the life you build thereafter.
A big part of this conversation is relational healing - and how transformation happens through real life interactions, not just solo inner work. Together, we explore healing through love, the role of self awareness, and what it actually looks like to move from control into surrender and flow in your life.
We also touch on inner child healing, parenting and healing, and the power of forgiveness practice, especially when it comes to how we show up for ourselves and our children. This episode invites you into compassion practice, non judgment awareness and a deeper sense of embodied love that allows you to meet life with openness instead of protection.
