23-04-2020 • 42 mins

During this episode of Raw and Real podcast, host Linda Piazza continues last week’s episode on loss of self and uncensored emotions. Linda talks about pulling yourself out, finding who you are, finding the reasons that you lost yourself, feeling comfortable with being who you are, and having uncensored emotions.

Episode Highlights:

Linda hopes this episode will help you claim your power back.
Do not let others have power over you.
People have a tendency to close off their feelings or emotions while they are grieving.
You can find light in the darkness, just like you can see the most stars on the darkest nights.
Even if you are in a dark place, do your best to find something positive.
You can lose yourself without going through a negative or traumatic experience.
You may not want to go back to the person you were, and that’s OK.
Aim for a life that is perfect in your eyes, not somebody else’s.
Don’t let others’ opinions contribute to your loss of self. You are entitled to your own opinions.
Allow others to have their own opinions, too.
You need to know when enough is enough, and when to step back.
Letting something go doesn’t stop you from being who you are.
Compromising on a topic doesn’t mean you are compromising yourself.
You have to be able to feel again.
You need to process your losses to be able to move past them.
If you find a speck of something good, hold on to it and let it pull you through.
Linda is omitting her segment “Getting the Call” today.
Linda wants to make it clear that she does not condone abuse, and she is not giving abusers permission to “be themselves” by abusing others.

3 Key Points:

There are many reasons you could lose yourself, and you need to identify the reasons to find yourself again.
Don’t let other people have power over you or contribute to your loss of self.
Your opinions and emotions are important parts of who you are.
