What does it take to transcend the wounds of childhood and honestly, authentically love and accept ourselves? If you like hanging out in the deep, existential end of the pool: this is your show!  A change in perspective can change your life. And this podcast was designed to do just that.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices In the mechanical sense of the word, to depress something means to hold it down. Today we're taking a different look at depression from this POV.

What are we holding down when we feel depressed? Our hope? Our truth? Anger? And what would it be like to access those feelings and release them instead?

Sadness is often associated as a cause of depression but today we're reconsidering this. What if sadness is more like the byproduct of an ongoing situation where the body isn't able to express what it needs to express or honor the deeper feelings asking to be felt?

And what are the role of hormones in depression as well?

This is a rich topic and we may do a part 2 at some point but let's at least get the ball rolling today! Always love to hear your feedback at: marywelch.com or on Insta: @marywelchofficial

]]> 1620 no Learning to ACCEPT What Cannot Be CHANGED https://www.marywelch.com/podcast Today's episode is a bit of a riff on the serenity prayer. A big part of healing involves understanding the difference between what is meant to be changed in our lives vs what is meant to be accepted. But once we've moved into acceptance, are we truly accepting it? Or is our acceptance more like resignation? Authentic acceptance of a difficult circumstance in our life sets us free, while resignation often comes with a whole host of other, more negative feelings, like bitterness and resentment. The truth is, you didn't come here to bear or endure your life. You came to live it full heartedly, with joy and with peace. When we're stuck in non-acceptance or resignation, we block our own life force and we limit our power. As we learn to accept ourselves and whatever has been placed along our path, for our spiritual evolution, we tap the true vein of gold within.

]]> 1282 no Are You a CYCLE BREAKER? https://www.marywelch.com/lovenotespodcast On today's episode of Love Notes From a Soul Coach, we're talking about cycle breakers. A cycle breaker in a family system is the person who refuses to perpetuate the hurt they’ve inherited. They are the one, in the family lineage, who is determined to break the chain of dysfunction and do things differently.  A cycle breaker says: REGARDLESS of how much hurt I’ve experienced, I refuse to allow that hurt to justify imposing the same kind of cruelty, hurt and abuse on someone else.  The cycle breaker says: I acknowledge the hurt but I don’t act on it. I don’t act it out on others. I choose to use my precious time on earth to heal instead. To connect these dots and wake up and do things differently.  The Somalian poet Warsan Shire wrote:  no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark No one ousts themselves from their own tribe unless there is something seriously wrong inside that tribe. The strength to stand up for what is true and right for us, according to our own internal, spiritual compass is a deeply courageous act and it yields, ultimately, to authentic healing in the family system.  Learn more about cycle breakers, and how to support yourself if you identify as this role in your own family system, on today's episode.  Find transcripts for each show, read my book or listen to my FREE guided meditation for anxiety relief at: marywelch.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

They are the one, in the family lineage, who is determined to break the chain of dysfunction and do things differently. On today's episode of Love Notes From a Soul Coach, we're talking about cycle breakers. A cycle breaker in a family system is the person who refuses to perpetuate the hurt they’ve inherited. They are the one, in the family lineage, who is determined to break the chain of dysfunction and do things differently.  A cycle breaker says: REGARDLESS of how much hurt I’ve experienced, I refuse to allow that hurt to justify imposing the same kind of cruelty, hurt and abuse on someone else.  The cycle breaker says: I acknowledge the hurt but I don’t act on it. I don’t act it out on others. I choose to use my precious time on earth to heal instead. To connect these dots and wake up and do things differently.  The Somalian poet Warsan Shire wrote:  no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark No one ousts themselves from their own tribe unless there is something seriously wrong inside that tribe. The strength to stand up for what is true and right for us, according to our own internal, spiritual compass is a deeply courageous act and it yields, ultimately, to authentic healing in the family system.  Learn more about cycle breakers, and how to support yourself if you identify as this role in your own family system, on today's episode.  Find transcripts for each show, read my book or listen to my FREE guided meditation for anxiety relief at: marywelch.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
