The Power of Forgiveness: How Finding My Father Freed My Future
Manage episode 467181234 series 3612181
In this raw and deeply personal episode, I peel back the layers of my journey from an abandoned 9-year-old girl to a successful entrepreneur. I share how childhood trauma, including my father's disappearance and challenging family dynamics, shaped my identity as the 'tough-as-nails' person who struggled with trust. But this isn't just another trauma story – it's a powerful narrative about choice, healing, and the unexpected ways life leads us to growth.
You'll discover how a transformative experience helped me understand the difference between life's events and the meaning we attach to them, ultimately leading to a surprising reconnection with my long-lost father through a simple email to the Greek embassy. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in their past stories, questioning their worth, or struggling to trust in their relationships.
Whether you're dealing with abandonment issues, family trauma, or simply trying to understand how your past influences your present, this conversation will remind you that healing is always possible – sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Join me for this honest, unfiltered discussion about forgiveness, transformation, and the power of choosing our own narrative.
