This episode is a conversation on why you’re not doomed by your past relationships, with my friend and Alchemical Divorce Coach & Transformational Guide Kimberly FiNix. It’s relevant to all sorts of relationships which have ended, from short flings to divorces.

I asked Kimberly to cover this topic with me because we’re both divorced, have lived this wisdom in our own lives, and both get all excited talking about shame. She is also the empress of guiding womxn through the end of a relationship and its aftermath.

You’ll hear us explain why we don’t like to call them “failed” relationships, even if the challenges associated with them were spectacular. We also share some of our own personal experiences.

We talk about:

. The pattern of ignoring and suppressing your own needs

. Having compassion instead of shaming yourself for what happened in your relationships

. Learning to trust yourself again to make solid choices

. Non-negotiables vs. normal compromises

. How understanding trauma patterns can help you have compassion for yourself or a partner

. How previous experiences with a partner could impact on your sense of worthiness

This conversation is full of permission and space to be imperfect, to not have it all figured out, to be learning through trial and error.

For context, we don’t talk in depth about abusive relationships. Some of our conversation is relevant, but it’s not my personal specialty, and there’s a lot more to be said about abuse which we haven’t covered here.
