Your Past Is Not Your Future | Belle Epi...

ALEX HOWARD
About this episode

It’s Belle’s final episode, marking the culmination of her incredible journey. Since our last session, she’s embraced major life changes, moving back in with her parents and continuing to work hard to integrate the tools and insights she’s gained along the way. Therapeutic work isn’t about erasing the past but healing from it so we can open up to new possibilities in the present and the future. Belle’s journey shows how commitment and courage can break the hold of past narratives, allowing her to live life on her own terms. Her story is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define you—it’s the work you do now that shapes your future. I hope her journey inspires you to take that first step toward healing, growth, and awakening your full potential.
