Episode Details

Hit it with a hammer.

Done. 

If only it were that easy. 

In reality, the cycle of emotional and spiritual abuse feels like a freight train rushing down the tracks of your everyday. An unstoppable force. And if you stand in its way, you’ll be run down. A sad little pancake beholden to the destructive patterns you’ve existed in since…who knows when. 

My dear. You forgot about two things.

First: You can’t stop that train. 

Second: You don’t need to stop that train to heal and be free and come into your power. 

Remember the handle thingy on the side of the tracks, controlling the railroad switch? 

Yup. Start there. 

In this episode:

• A heart-warming tale of what the Flying Free podcast is accomplishing in the lives of survivors
• How many nickels I theoretically have and why (very important)
• What love has to do with breaking cycles (I’ve got a great, but super old, example)
• The reason giraffes refuse to have short necks (a purely scientific explanation)
• Why authentic growth is the opposite of abusive control
