What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Mary Wagstaff hosts a riveting conversation with Essence Turner, a Self-Love Coach, who shares her transformative journey from exotic dancing and instability to a life of radical forgiveness and healing. Essence candidly recounts her past struggles with alcohol and how it became a crutch for her introverted self to become extroverted.
But, as she realised the repetitive cycles in her life, Essence took a bold step towards change, seeking self-help and embarking on a path of personal growth. The episode takes listeners through Essence's discovery of radical forgiveness and how it helped her heal deep-seated wounds, particularly her abandonment issues. Her story is a testament to the power of self-love and the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than focusing solely on alcohol as the problem.
Essence also highlights practical steps she took, like using oracle cards and engaging in nature walks, to tap into her inner healer. Her journey underscores the importance of intuition and the courage to face one's vulnerabilities head-on. Mary and Essence explore the concept of forgiveness as a felt experience, urging listeners to embrace their human emotions while recognising that forgiveness is ultimately for oneself.
With humour and honesty, this episode invites you to reflect on your own journey towards self-discovery and healing. How can you start your own path to radical forgiveness? What would you do if you truly loved yourself? Tune in to find inspiration from Essence's story and consider how you might transform your own life.
