"I don't think change on the outside can happen until you have change on the inside. I have to look at the person in the mirror and actually love the person looking back at me. That took me years after my breakup, after doing a lot of that work. I can actually say that I love the person I've become and I could never say that before." - Kim Witczak
When our bodies speak, are we listening? In this soul-stirring conversation with Kim Witczak, we explore how grief becomes a pathway to transformation and self-love. Kim shares her journey from unimaginable loss to embodied wisdom, revealing how trusting your intuition and facing pain directly creates profound healing. What struck me most was the parallel between trapped grief and trapped joy – both needing movement through our bodies to be fully expressed. This conversation beautifully demonstrates how our most challenging experiences often catalyze our most authentic evolution. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly listening to your body's wisdom or questioned if transformation really happens in the darkness, this episode illuminates the path forward.
