In this episode, I sit with my friend, Ashley Ryckman. Ashley and I have connected quite a bit over the last few months, and our collaboration of having some powerful conversations around creating massive change in the world. I particularly enjoyed this conversation with Ashley because it's just such a great reminder, even to myself, that no matter where we come from, we can create the life we want to have. We create, whether it's the business or the family, or whatever that vision is we have for our life no matter what we come from. Ashley is a wife and Mompreneur of six beautiful humans! She is passionate about what she does and committed to helping women worldwide believe they deserve a life of love and abundance. Ashley's story is harrowing, and it's daunting at times, but it's beautiful and powerful. We need some time to understand that anything is possible. We are all on this planet together, whether going through this journey together. And in this conversation, we're going to dive into many different topics, not only becoming the hero of her own story but choosing to put herself first and identifying ways in her methods that she's been able to empower other people to do the same. I'm looking forward to you listening or watching it today! -Be Unbroken.

In this episode, I read the chapter of my book Think Unbroken Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma. And I read one of the chapters about Hard work, Time, and Patience.  There are bits and pieces that you can compile from the world around you to create your protocol, but at the end of the day, you have to be patient with yourself, and you have to give yourself time to heal even if it takes the rest of your life. When I decided to take the first step, I realized that the hard work ahead could not be measured against metrics or timelines. No one can determine what that thing is except for you. Are you ready to take the first step and create a massive change in your lives? Join us as I share this episode! Be Unbroken.

In this episode, I want to share that the hardest aspect of being a trauma survivor is learning what you should have been taught. Did you know that you are worthy of love without an exchange of value? I didn't understand that reality at all until this weekend. I literally became a different person. Today I am a different person. I can't explain it in the text, but if you have ever struggled with love, I think you should watch this. Every aspect of my life feels different today. I'm still trying to understand this, but I believe in teaching what I learn. So here goes.
