Loving Your Life Again

Hi! My name is Christina and I have been on a healing journey, discovering how to love life again after leaving a toxic marriage with a drug addict, who also had narcissistic tendencies. This podcast is about learning how to love your life again after heartbreak and trauma. We will talk about making the choice to stay or leave, rediscovering who you are, and reclaiming your worth. Also, it is about taking back control of your life. Ultimately, finding joy and peace in the midst of life’s struggles. As God intended, we will go on a journey from surviving to thriving. I started this podcast because I felt incredibly alone on my journey, I struggled for a long time with deciding on when the right time to leave was and once I did, I thought now what. I was just surviving, barely hanging on thinking there had to be more to life than this. So I went on a journey, healing my body, mind, and spirit. Now, I want to share that journey with you, to help you on your healing journey, help you feel not so alone, and help you find the right tools for you to love your life again.  You can find me at: www.breathofrenewal.com <br>Instagram <br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/breath_of_renewal?igsh=MTU1NzR5dWxlNXgzaQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">https://www.instagram.com/breath_of_renewal</a><br>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/christina.sommers.96?mibextid=eQY6cl">https://www.facebook.com/christina.sommers.96</a></p>

On this week's episode I dive into the importance of Gut Health within the Healing Journey with Jennifer Tabrizi.

Jennifer is a fitness + gut health coach for women. Years ago she faced a life-changing diagnosis of Crohn's disease + almost lost her colon. This situation pretty much forced Jennifer into taking better care of her health. Through fitness, nutrition, and yoga, Jennifer was able to help her body heal, and has now been in remission from Crohn's for 7+ years. After going through this experience, Jennifer felt called to teach other women how they too could enhance their lives through the modalities that helped her. Jennifer's mission is to help other women see that anything is possible when it comes to healing + good health.

Three key pillars for holistic healing from the inside out includes nutrition, movement and mind - through yoga, meditation and energetically creating space to heal the body.

Share with us your key takeaway or one thing you can begin implementing today.

Also, stressing the need for seeking outside resources for support, cultivating a relationship with a higher power, and being open to receiving help. Lastly, I highlighted the significance of self-awareness, trauma-informed practices, effective communication, and the importance of building supportive communities.

On this weeks conversation, I have a deep conversation with Nilzara Rivera.  We dive deep into the conversation regarding our faith journey, love for God and healing.  

Meet Nilzara Rivera, a Trauma-Informed Intuitive Healer, Transformational Coach, and Light Language Practitioner. Nilzara has a passionate connection to God, which has helped to explore and fine-tune her skills in distant energy healing, healing meditations, and light language. Her real, raw, yet loving approach creates a safe space where people are empowered to heal and unLayer the bullshit holding them back from being their unique expression of God. 

In addition, Nilzara is a domestic violence survivor and advocate, has a degree in Applied Behavioral Science, is an international bestselling author, and has her Reiki 1, Life Coach, Health Coach, and Anger Management Coach Certifications. 

But what best positioned Nilzara to be a healer and transformational coach was her decision to heal the emotional wounds that hindered her from prioritizing herself. She knows the exhaustion and pain that comes from living a life where her identity and self-worth rely on meeting the needs of others while neglecting her wants, needs, and desires. Nilzara now focuses on living a life of divine alignment.

Hello my friends!

Listen into this episode where I reflect back on some key topics discussed in the last conversation I had with Coach Debs.  I dove a bit deeper on topics such as:

  • You always have choice, you don't have to sit in your stuff
  • Shame often keeps us stuck, you can overcome shame and embrace personal growth
  • Mindset work is incredibly important and it is even more powerful when you incorporate the body, called somatic.
  • Remembering you can only control what you can control and taking ownership of what is yours
  • Breaking free from the fear based mindset
  • Allowing yourself to grieve, it is part of the process
  • Practical ways to use your body in moving the stuck energy through

In this Bonus episode, I bring you my reflection since the car accident that changed my life 8 years ago. This episode is real, it is raw, it is unedited.

I share my personal experiences of overcoming trauma and physical limitations following a head-on collision. Which includes my journey of overcoming self-doubt and negative beliefs to cultivate a more positive mindset. Through her experiences, she emphasized the importance of faith, support from loved ones, and various self-care practices in achieving a fulfilling life.

You too can find joy in the journey back to loving your life.  There is hope, you too can find the peace and joy you long for.
