We live in a time where mental health awareness is at an all-time high but are we using that awareness to heal, or as an excuse to stay stuck? In this episode, we dive deep into how our past experiences, trauma, and triggers can either be barriers or stepping stones to personal growth. Too often, people allow their past to dictate their future, using what they've been through as a reason why they "can’t" rather than finding ways to push forward.We’re sharing how we’ve challenged our own limiting beliefs, built resilience, and stopped letting old wounds control our lives. We discuss the dangers of trauma bonding, how it keeps people trapped in cycles of negativity, and why true healing requires more than just talking about your struggles, it demands action. Mental resilience isn’t about ignoring what you’ve been through; it’s about learning how to move forward without letting it define you.If you've ever struggled with self-sabotage, feeling stuck, or using your past as a justification for where you are, this conversation is for you. We’ll break down the difference between venting and healing, the importance of actively working through mental barriers, and why no one is responsible for accommodating your triggers. Growth requires effort, and in this discussion, we’re diving into what that truly looks like.Drop a comment below and let us know what’s one limiting belief you’re working to overcome?
