045 - How Going Through Hardships Has Changed My Life

The Love With Liana® Podcast

With everything going on in the United States right now, I felt compelled to share this episode with you. I did record it well before the official news of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but I believe it is currently more relevant than ever.

Going through hardships is—well—hard. There's no sugar-coating that. Some of the most difficult times in my life were during a big life transition, in dealing with grief, suffering from an injury, or recognizing my own upbringing wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.

We all develop our life's programming from 0-6 and we may not realize we are living under these programs until about 25 when our prefrontal cortex fully develops and we gain deductive reasoning. That is about when we gain new perspective on our lives and we then determine what we want out of it going forward in the rest of our adulthood. If we go through a particularly traumatizing event earlier in our lives than that, we may begin our healing journey earlier. Nevertheless, we must do our best to live as healthy adults, whatever that looks like for each individual.

I reference my healing journey in the metaphor of me creating my new Mala beads. Malas are quite difficult to make but that is the point of them; with each knot of the Mala, we unknot a part of ourselves. So with each hardship, we unlock a new part of ourselves we didn't know was there, and we grow even brighter.

You are worthy of living a bright life 🤩 Much love to you!
