63 Adversity: A Deeper Take On Why Sh*tty Things Happen.

63 Adversity: A Deeper Take On Why Sh*tty Things Happen.

If there’s one question I get asked all the time, it’s this: How do you always turn life’s messiest moments into something magical? How do you take setbacks, heartbreak, and straight up shitty situations… and somehow spin them into gold? Well…

That’s exactly what we’re diving into today on I Love Me The Podcast. Because let’s be real… Bad things happen, even to the best of us. But what if those challenges aren’t just random acts of misfortune? What if they’re actually doorways to something greater?

In this episode, I’ll be unpacking:

  • Why tough times show up in our lives…
  • What to do when everything feels like it’s falling apart…
  • And how to move forward in a way that feels empowering.

And to bring it all to life, I’ll be sharing a very personal story - one that really tested me - but led my family to where the grass is greener.

Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:

About me…

My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.

While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.

Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.
