What if breaking free from societal and familial expectations could lead to a more joyful and authentic life? Our guest, Susan Cruz, shares her inspiring journey from the exhaustion of trying to be everything for everyone to discovering her true purpose. Raised in a family with high standards, particularly from her father, Susan faced burnout by following a path dictated by others. She invites us to explore how stillness and listening to our hearts can uncover hidden passions and strengths, transforming not only our personal lives but also empowering others along the way.
Join us as we uncover the magic of stillness and the power of forgiveness in Susan's transformative journey. The mantra "Be still and know I am God" served as a guide for her introspection, leading to the release of internalized judgments and a newfound dedication to holistic growth. Through yoga and the ritual of self-forgiveness, Susan emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and alignment with one's life purpose. Her insights challenge us to embrace change and fluidity in our personal growth, setting boundaries, and trusting our inner guidance, even when it seems vulnerable or unconventional.
As we close the conversation, Susan offers invaluable wisdom on maintaining individuality within relationships, especially in marriage. Her personal anecdotes reveal how embracing authenticity and vulnerability can strengthen bonds and foster personal growth. Discover how a playful mindset can open doors to new experiences and how the healing power of tears can lead to self-love and appreciation.
