Empowerment Strategist, Jennifer Whitacre joins Laura to talk about the path to empowerment. What is empowerment and how can it help you be happier and more successful.In this episode;• Self-awareness is key to healing.• Compassion isn’t always “nice” or “kind,” and sugar-coating a truth isn’t compassionate.• When we shift our focus inward, the external world changes.• Trauma isn’t about what happened to you, and we need to get beyond the story to heal.• It’s not as scary to face your emotions as you might think it is. People have a resistance to emoting, and when you learn how emotions are really meant to work, they become a strength, not something to be feared.About Jennifer;Jennifer Whitacre is an Empowerment Strategist, the host of the Yes, And… Podcast, and an expert myofascial release therapist who has a lifetime of experience in making sense of the long-term effects of childhood abuse and trauma.
