#115: No More "Self-Sacrificing" & Traum...

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

"You are worth investing in yourself. The greatest love and joy that you can feel for yourself and for another person is on the other side of this work."

Hey Besties! Today's episode is a very inspirational story from one of my former Soulmate Program students, Olivia Luna. Olivia went from growing up in a high conflict military family, becoming a rebound girl who couldn't find meaningful relationships, to now thriving, dating, loving her life and killing it as the Creative Director of an agency!

And I'm very proud to share her story and transformation with the help of our Soulmate Program.

We also talk about why so many women become rescuers in their relationships, the generational "self sacrifice" culture, and how she found her own true voice through art.
