Have you ever felt that your reactions to others reveal more about their struggles than your own self-worth? Join us as we unpack this profound realization and share personal stories on cultivating compassion, especially in tricky family dynamics. Get ready to be inspired by our guest, Leona Khong, an energy healer who left her corporate job to embrace the mystic world of spirit guides and shadow work. Her journey, filled with courage and transformation, offers a compelling look at how connecting with our spiritual allies and facing our fears can lead to incredible growth. We also explore the deep healing that comes from shadow work, starting with an inner child hypnosis meditation. Leona’s insights shed light on how the pandemic has pushed many of us towards deeper self-reflection, influenced by indigenous teachings about our interconnectedness. By addressing personal wounds from childhood and past lives, we reveal the power of self-compassion in reducing reactivity and improving relationships. Through heartfelt anecdotes, we illustrate how understanding our internal triggers can pave the way for a more harmonious and loving existence.
