What drives someone to seek a life of self-trust over people-pleasing? This episode brings Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke to the forefront, guiding listeners through the maze of PTSD recovery with an emphasis on self-discovery and authenticity. Brad and Kayleen tackle the pervasive issue of losing oneself in the noise of others' opinions—a common hurdle for trauma survivors. They share their personal stories and practical advice on how to reclaim your voice and desires.
With humour and honesty, they challenge the audience to think about what they truly want, free from external pressures. Kayleen recounts her journey from rock bottom to recovery, emphasising the importance of aligning your actions with your true self. Through relatable anecdotes, like her fondness for captions on TV, she illustrates how small acts of self-expression can build the muscle of self-validation.
Brad joins in with tales of his own path to self-awareness, encouraging everyone to practice decision-making in daily life—be it choosing breakfast or a ziplining adventure. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to action. Whether you're painting a wall in your favourite colour or deciding which movie to watch, each choice is a step towards living authentically.
The duo's candidness offers hope and inspiration, reminding us that being true to oneself is not only liberating but essential for healing. So, what would you choose if you silenced the world around you?
