Jessica's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit! She experienced every subtype of OCD imaginable, from harm thoughts and fears of being in a coma, to believing she had lost her mind, was under a curse, or was too broken from childhood trauma. Despite lots of creative intrusive thoughts, physical symptoms, and derealization, Jessica found her way back to wellbeing and a peaceful mind. Her journey shows that healing and transformation don't come from searching for the "why." Jessica's humor has been a beacon of hope, not just for her, but for everyone in the Peace From Within Community. I’m thrilled for you to hear Jessica’s inspiring story in this episode.

This is a great conversation about how Cassie:  ✨Recovered from postpartum ocd ✨Realized she didn’t need to take her thinking so seriously (after going deep in manifestation and law of attraction)  ✨Realized she was not broken and there was nothing wrong with her ✨Has become an even better business coach by realizing that her  clients have their own innate health.   We talk about Cassie’s experience with OCD, mental checking, avoidance, and also how manifestation and law of attraction caused her to take her thinking too seriously and fear and try to control her thinking.  After coming into the three principles understanding she realized that it’s just not true. You don’t think something and it immediately becomes real. Cassie realized her thinking is random and unimportant. It was also helpful for her to realize that if she’s feeling bad not to take her thinking seriously or try and fix it.  Reawakening to her innate health has helped Cassie be an even better business coach. In addition to realizing that her clients have their own innate health, she doesn’t stress if they’re struggling because she chooses to see people in their power. She knows it’s only their thinking when they’re feeling down and out. Her only job is guiding them to their own wisdom. Cassie sees business as a playground and I just love that so much!

Liah’s story of hope is one you don’t want to miss! She speaks with such honesty, understanding, and wisdom about dpdr, existential thoughts, driving anxiety, fear of losing control, and fear of postpartum psychosis.  Through the three principles understanding Liah realized that there was nothing wrong with her and there was actually nothing she needed to fix. She realized how much easier it is to let your thinking flow when you know how common certain anxious/intrusive thoughts are. Now she knows deeply when her thoughts are distorted and she just leaves her thinking alone. Today, Liah’s thoughts flow and she doesn’t consider herself to have anxiety or ocd. She feels confident and comfortable driving and staying alone with her children.

Join us for an inspiring Story of Hope interview with Robyn! When I went to Robyns’ website (feelyourgood.com ) she did such great job introducing herself that I’m copying that here:  “Five years ago, I was deeply depressed and chronically anxious, my entire experience was consumed by self-criticism, and I thought this was normal.  I also had cancer spreading through my body and a one-year-old daughter I was struggling to love. This seemed less normal.  I knew something had to change - hopefully my trajectory - and in seeking help  from my lifelong friend and alternative practitioner Ian Watson. Through working with Ian and his colleague Carol Boroughs I experienced a massive shift in perspective. And EVERYTHING changed.  I fell in love with my daughter, left my husband and started living.  I fell in love with life.   Paradoxically, I felt less need to control everything and I breezed through cancer treatments with little attachment to the outcome. It is my belief that this was instrumental in my recovery. Loving ourselves deeply and allowing ourselves to BE fully is the best thing we can do for our health.  I found I could give myself permission to live, to love, and to feel and not only would I survive my feelings, but I would thrive.  Because of my experience I now really enjoy working with people facing disease and the psychological impact it has. I also enjoy working with those who find themselves struggling as parents. “  You do not want to miss this episode! *Please note we do talk about suicidal ideation (I think in a very positive, light-hearted, hopeful way) So many HUGE 🫳 🎤 insights. Here are a few of my notes:  Stage 4 cancer turned out to be the pathway to liberation.  I got to see that I was okay no matter what. No feeling can be bigger than me because I’m creating them myself.  When you’re looking for the sense of safety coming from controlling the situation, there is no amount of information that will make you feel safe. The feeling of safety comes from total surrender as opposed to trying to control.  If I can’t control anything, what do I want to live?  My emphasis in my life is to what extent can I really experience each moment.  Parenting went from trying to push a string in a straight line to pulling it. Safety doesn’t come from scans  Love fuels everything- love is running the show  Depression is another sensation.  Pain is resistance. You can’t be resistant and curious.
