Recognize Your Power, Claim and Erase Shame and Celebrate Your Healing Journey

HEARTFIRST with Ifoma and Jess

In this episode, Jess King shares a personal mid-September check-in during this extraordinary year. Between the Covid-19 pandemic, politics, environmental catastrophes (and whatever else) there’s a lot each of us could be afraid of and stressed out about each day. More than ever we are being challenged to awaken. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by emotion at times and to feel discomfort - emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually - as a result of the collective awakening we’re experiencing. Jess shares a personal issue she’s been working on - claiming her shame over her age (as posted in her birthday Instagram post last week) in terms of viewing herself as a failure. As minor as it may seem (and as much as she has already shamed her shame for years!), it is through our personal healing that we empower others to awaken and heal. This requires courage and we’re all capable of moving forward in this way (no, it’s not easy - but it, and you, are worth it). By first acknowledging our issues and then taking steps toward owning them we are already having a tremendous positive impact. Self-awareness is the first step. And while healing isn’t linear, each and every step with intention in the direction of our personal healing unlocks healing in someone else. Our ripple is so powerful. Let’s celebrate our awareness and our journeys as we continue to liberate ourselves, heal and evolve. No judgment - only love. We’re in this together and together we all win.
