Relationships are one of the most beautiful and scared things we experience here on this earthly plain, they are also the single most powerful teachers we have. For better or worse they bring out ALL THE THINGS… the unresolved emotional issues we have left over from years gone by, showing up again and again to make us whole again. Love Addiction is a thing. And believe it or not it is actually quite common – defined as the expectation that someone else can solve your problems and provide unconditional positive affection at all times… to truly take care of you. A fantasy many women have. When this unrealistic need isn’t met, love addicts find themselves feeling resentful, and as a result create unnecessary conflict in their intimate relationships.

Anger can be a toxic, destructive and downright dangerous emotion when experienced in the wrong way, this can subsequently spark shame, guilt and fear that wreaks havoc on our physical and mental health.

Home is sanctuary, it is where we can escape the world and be our true selves, no judgements, approvals or opinions needed.... so why do we clutter it with Kmart trends and the latest show stopping pieces?

The Ancestral Female Line affects each and every woman regardless of weather you are best friends with your Mother or not... the 'Motherwound' is an ageless affliction passed down this ancestral line, from Mother to daughter. A subliminal learned behaviour both subtle and vicious in its power. This knowledge absorbed by women in the pain, grief and sorrow arising from trying to establish our power and potential in a society that doesn’t make room for us is heavy. Patriarchal conditioning at its best. This week’s episode counsellor, healer and coach Melissa Essence tells us her personal story with the Mother Wound, she walks us through how this can show up in our lives and how facing the blocks or recurring patterns in life that are linked to unresolved issues from childhood sets us free. Nikki O'Brien: https://www.instagram.com/quintessential_being_bynikki/https://www.facebook.com/nikki.obrien.775/
