Send us a textHi! I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast and in this episode, I reflect on the conversation I had earlier this week with Tessa Lewis, host of the Best Self Collective podcast I remember learning about the ego and its different roles, but it was eye-opening to learn that when we feel triggered, the ego is teaching us where we are wounded. Self-compassion is the anecdote when we feel triggered. I share thoughts about Marianne Williamson and her book, “A Return To Love,” which made such a profound impact on my life.In this episode, you are going to learn:

| 02 Feb 2023 | Forgiveness Is A Gift: Reflections on Releasing Resentment with Karen Wilson | 00:18:42 | |
Send us a textHi! I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast. Today’s episode features reflections on Karen Wilson's story, "Releasing Resentment." If you missed it, be sure to listen! Why is forgiving another person so hard? It's because it hurts. We all experience emotional pain as part of being human. We can’t change the ways that others behave, but we can control how we act. How do we forgive? Today, I reflect on lessons from Desmond Tutu. You'll learn: *The 5 vital steps:
*What the splinter and the log teach us.*Having compassion allows acceptance. *Forgiveness is not the same as condoning. *Asking for what you need is a sign of courage and grace. *Forgiveness is the way we heal the world, starting in our own heart. With lots of practice, self development tools, and divine help, the Lord answered my prayers and enabled me to forgive . Forgiveness is a divine gift.Like Karen Wilson, if I can do it, you can too! Thanks again for listening! Please keep your reviews coming! I love you all and appreciate you listening! Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey, xoxo, KarenClosing thoughts: Have you ever had a hard time forgiving? I’d love to hear your thoughts in your review on Apple!

Serena shares her story in the book, "Arrival Stories: Women Share Their Experiences of Becoming Mothers," by Amy Schumer and Christy Turlington Burns. Serena was dismissed multiple times when requesting postnatal medical care and nearly died of a blood clot in her lungs.

We discuss the symptoms of maternal mental health conditions. Who is at risk of maternal mental health conditions? How do maternal mental health conditions impact mom, baby and the family? How do other cultures support new moms? What was your experience in being taken care of as a new or experienced mama? How did you take care of your mental health as a mom?

We discuss research and Patrick Carnes' book, "Betrayal Bond: Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships."

Join us as we shed light on their chilling formation, from the manipulative love-bombing stage to the point where the bond solidifies.

Armed with insights from Lundy Bancroft's enlightening book 'Why Does He Do That?', we navigate the baffling mood changes of the abuser and the consequent emotional turmoil faced by the victim. From feelings of low self-esteem to fear of retribution, we examine the daunting barriers that make breaking free a Herculean task. Look out for signs that might indicate you or someone you know is caught in a trauma bond and understand the abuse of power that often lurks within these relationships. But there's always a way out. In the final leg of this episode, we focus on strategies to shatter these toxic bonds. Through establishing a safety plan, setting boundaries, and seeking support, victims can reclaim their lives from the clutches of abuse.
