EP 6: Digging Deeper
In this episode of Her Joyful Life, I invite you to go beyond the surface and explore the transformative power of digging deeper, into your thoughts, your patterns, and even your past. Through heartfelt storytelling and raw honesty, I share how doing the deeper emotional work has helped me move through pain, self-judgment, and limiting beliefs to live a life of joy and authenticity.
What begins as a reflection on a simple affirmation, “I start fresh”, evolves into a powerful conversation about identity, acceptance, and inner healing. I share personal insights from my own journey, including how a deep-rooted need to be “the good one” created a superiority complex, how divorce led me to mourn a life that wasn’t truly mine, and how facing my hidden shadows set me free.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
— Why even the simplest affirmations can hold deep truths
— What it really means to “start fresh” (it’s not always a clean slate)
— How unexamined expectations shape our identity
— Why shadow work and self-honesty are essential for lasting growth
— How to lovingly accept past versions of yourself while stepping into the real you
Whether you're on a healing journey, facing a big life transition, or simply tired of the surface-level stuff, this episode will remind you that your joy lives in your depth. The corners we hide from are often the keys to our freedom.
I also share how the Her Joyful Life membership supports this kind of inner work, through affirmations, reflection worksheets, journal prompts, and live Zoom calls. You don’t have to go through this alone.
