let's embrace unlearning

2025/1/20 Edited to

... Read moreUnlearning is a crucial aspect of personal growth and self-improvement. It involves challenging ingrained beliefs and assumptions that may be holding you back. By adopting a mindset of humility, we can prioritize unlearning, just as we do with learning. This approach encourages individuals to question how they view themselves and others, fostering deeper self-awareness and understanding. Techniques such as hypnotherapy can be beneficial in this process, helping to rewire thought patterns and encourage positive changes in behavior. Embracing unlearning can lead to a healthier self-image, improved emotional resilience, and a more fulfilling wellness journey. Engaging in practices that reinforce unlearning, such as mindfulness and self-reflection, empowers you to take control of your mental and emotional well-being. Join the conversation on self-love and bettering yourself today!

UNLEARN. UNPACK. UNLEASH.
I thought I needed to do more to be worthy. I thought saying “yes” to everyone made me a good woman. I thought I was “behind” for not having it all figured out by 40. These are the things I am learning to let go of to become the woman I always dreamed of being. If you’re in your healing

Self-acceptance is harder than expected
For most of my life, I thought that the negative things I said about myself were just signs of me becoming comfortable with who I was. It felt like a coping mechanism, like I was learning to take control of the narrative and not let anyone else's words affect me. But deep down, I never realized

Unhealthy things I am unlearning as a mom 🌸
Being a good mom is my top priority. 1. Punishing emotions. I will not get my daughter in trouble for yelling at me, crying, or anything else. If you were crying and somebody told you you have no reason to be, or that they’ll give you a reason to cry, how would you feel? Worse? 2. Shaming.

Witches are not evil…
For centuries, women who embraced their innate power, wisdom, and connection to the earth were labeled as dangerous. The word “witch” became synonymous with evil, deceit, and darkness – a narrative crafted to strip women of their strength and autonomy. But did you know that the term “witch” orig

healing wounds i still carry from childhood 🫶
Let’s talk about inner child wounds—the ones we don’t even realize we’re carrying until they show up in our adult lives. The little girl inside me heard things that stuck: “You’re too sensitive.” So I shut down emotionally. “You have to be strong.” So I never asked for help. “Be a good girl.”
