Understanding Loneliness, Meditation, and Forgiveness - Terrie Vanover

Join us on a journey of self-discovery and healing with Terrie from Continuing to Rise, a beacon of resilience and growth. Her personal experiences with divorce and solitude have forged her into a distinguished guide aiding others through similar challenges. Together, we unearth layers of trauma and abandonment wounds that often hide beneath the surface of a divorce. We underscore the importance of acknowledging one's own role in past relationships as a stepping stone towards healing and personal development.

We don't stop at the discussion of divorce. The episode unfolds further into a conversation about loneliness and how the active practice of self-connection can foster authentic relationships. Drawing from our personal experiences, we explore the power of being present, meditative practices, and the subtle art of embracing discomfort. The episode rounds off with a powerful dialogue on forgiveness, not as a path to reconciliation, but as a journey towards individual growth and healing. Join us as we weave through the threads of self-improvement, and forgiveness, and charting a hopeful course post-divorce.
