If we close our hearts, we trap our pain with others' pain. The heart's trying to beat, and it's like... can't beat, right? So all this stuff's getting trapped, and then the signs... There's a huge difference between cognitive health and mental health, and the brain and the mind are two different things.
Leslie Peters has a story that many can relate to, yet few can articulate with such grace. Growing up in a world of abuse and neglect, Leslie felt a profound disconnection from herself and others. At just 16, she embarked on a quest for connection and acceptance, which led her to a lifelong mission of offering others what she needed most—to be seen, heard, and valued for who she truly was.
In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', Leslie shares her journey from trauma to a place of unconditional love and acceptance. She talks about how her nursing career intersected with her personal healing, leading to transformational changes in both her life and the lives of those she touched. Leslie's unique approach isn't about doing; it's about being. She emphasizes the lost art of listening and the 'Illusion of the Armor' we all wear to protect ourselves.
When Leslie allows herself to be vulnerable, she gives others permission to do the same. This newfound authenticity enables people to see themselves and the world in a brighter light, filled with possibilities they never imagined. Through candid conversations and profound insights, Leslie challenges conventional approaches to cognitive and mental health, advocating for a more interconnected understanding of overall well-being.
