Be in Love with Who You Are
Being dumped by someone you love may feel like the worst betrayal you could ever face, but in every crisis there’s opportunity, right? This is exactly what happened to our guest today, Dr.Sharon Livingston, author of “Get Lost Girlfriend: How I Found Myself When My Best Friend Dumped Me.”
In this episode Sharon shares how her experience of abuse as a child put her in cycle of allowing people she loved and cared for to repeatedly beat her up and pull her down. She struggled to pull herself out of the deepest hole she had ever fallen into. But how is that possible, when your best friend is the one who betrayed you?
Sharon shares the importance of mourning and how it leads you to a path of finding yourself and knowing who you really are. This process of isolation gives space for reflection, which then allows you to accept love and find it within yourself.
Sharon leaves us with a message of how gratefulness can help you even in your darkest moments by learning to realize that there’s always something to be grateful for.
