Coming Home to Myself: Lessons from a Ye...

Celinne Da Costa
About this episode

In this profoundly personal solo episode, I open up to share the story behind my decision to abstain from romantic intimacy with men for 1 year and 9 months. 

This was not a decision I made lightly.

After a painful breakup and a serious health scare in early 2022, I realized drastic change was needed if I wanted to rewrite my love story and manifest the love I truly desired to experience in my life.  

During what I can only describe as a mixture of a dark night of the soul and one of the most difficult and significant turning chapters of my story, I did the deepest inner work of my life— exploring and resolving my conditioning around men, relationships, the mother/father wound, and fear of intimacy dating back to childhood and even my ancestry.

I excavated unconscious patterns and rewrote disempowering stories that no longer served the woman I was becoming and the vision that I have for myself when it comes to creating a life full of love and harmony – including in my romantic relationships.

It was a challenging yet incredibly clarifying commitment to myself that grew me in ways that, two years later, I don’t even recognize myself as a woman (for the better!).

I cherish the relationship that I’ve built with myself, the love that I am practicing towards myself, and the woman that I’ve become – not to mention, the external reflections of the love I’ve cultivated in my heart, which I am experiencing every day.
