Radical responsibility - in simple form - means taking ownership of your life, your emotions and your circumstances. Not as a burden, or from a place of victimhood - but as a way of taking back power of your life and creating an internal freedom that you can’t have unless you do this.
In this episode, I’m sharing the key components to radical responsibility and why it’s so important for your transformation.

The bottom line - it’s because it’s what you know and what you’re used to.
It is easier to fall into the trap of misery, sadness, lack, bitterness and wanting for more than it is to create a life you’re actually in love with because in so many ways, we are taught and shown that we shouldn’t be happy with ourselves, we should want more, we aren’t enough, we aren’t worthy…
It takes courage and bravery to choose a different path, which ultimately makes i...

It’s so important to speak to this and bring it to your awareness because once you can identify that some of your actions are self-sabotage, then you can empower yourself to change and remove these patterns and habits.
But ultimately - once you realise that something you continually do is simply self-sabotage, it is so much easier to remove this habit from your life because mentally you identify it as a block and it’s you getting in your own way.
So, is your trauma sabotaging you?
