On Today's Episode:

The pain and hurt you’ve undoubtedly experienced in your lifetime leaves scars. Though we look beautiful when we step out the door, nails done, hair and makeup on point, there is nothing that truly hides the pain we feel from the scars we get from relationships gone wrong.

It’s so hard to experience life without shame and regret. We judge ourselves most harshly and say words to ourselves that we would never utter to another woman.

Najwa Zebian is no stranger to Women of Impact, and her words have pierced the hearts of millions of women around the world. She beautifully strings words together that give power to the experience of being a woman familiar with heartache and disappointment.

In this episode we’re talking about transforming those scars as Najwa says from being a constant reminder of your pain into a reminder of how far you’ve come. We can all use a big dose of self-compassion and love for our past selves.

Today is a reminder to sit with your past self and the choices she’s made and give her the love and support she deserves. She did the best she could with what she knew in the moment. Najwa’s reminder is to stop judging your past self and allow your scars to heal.

QUOTES:

“If the scars are still painful then they are still begging to be felt by you, they’re still begging to be seen by you and not looked at through a lens of shame or judgment.”

“Become the person you needed for yourself in that moment. Stop trying to bring your past self here. You need to go back to your past self and sit with her.”

“Me being myself is my ultimate life purpose and goal, and if I’m going to have to go against what my authenticity tells me just to be in certain people’s lives, I’d rather be alone...”

“The worst thing you can do when you go through any kind of painful experience is gaslight yourself out of your own pain.”

“You’re not going for safety that’s in opposition to something you need to protect yourself from, you’re going for safety that’s open …”
