#11 - You Were Never Broken: Embracing All Versions of You

What if every past version of you wasn’t something to fix, but a love letter guiding you home to yourself? 

In this episode of Midlife Butterfly, we dive deep into the illusion of brokenness and the truth of our wholeness. Midlife often brings a reckoning—old wounds, past identities, and beliefs resurface, making us feel fragmented. But here’s the truth: you have always been whole.

Key Points:

• How society conditions us to believe we are broken—and why it’s a lie.
• Shifting from a mindset of separation to one of oneness and self-acceptance.
• The powerful reflection on past versions of yourself, inspired by Branden Collinsworth’s soul-stirring piece, Versions of Me. @BrandenCollinsworth
• Learning to listen, honor, and integrate all parts of yourself—the dreamer, the healer, the one who struggled, the one who loved, the one who lost.
• Why embracing every past version of you leads to deep self-love, healing, and empowerment.
• A simple yet transformative practice to step into your wholeness and reconnect with your authentic self.

Your journey is not about fixing yourself—it’s about embracing yourself fully.

Reflection Questions:

1. What past version of you is asking to be seen, heard, and honored today?
2. How can you offer love and gratitude to the parts of yourself you’ve outgrown?
3. What shifts in your life when you accept that you have always been whole?
