In this episode of my Life After podcast, I'm sharing my experience with intimate partner violence, my insights on why I stayed in those relationships, and the factors that led me there in the first place.I also share about what helped me recover and what you can do to help if someone you know is in an unsafe relationship.

In this episode, Kate Gutierrez takes us through the series of events in her life that unfolded to ultimately lead her to find self-love and inspire others to do the same.

Starting at birth, Kate was born with Crouzon Syndrome, a rare craniofacial disorder.  Kate highlights the pivotal moment when her face reconstruction surgery, initially meant to fix her condition, went disastrously wrong due to an ego-driven surgeon. She candidly discusses her struggles with self-acceptance during her teenage years, learning to find forgiveness and the moment she decided enough was enough with her inner negativity.

Using TikTok, affirmations, and other self-help strategies Kate found self-love and the ability to recognize her gifts. If you want to hear more about her story and find more inspiration,  check out her TikTok channel or listen to her podcast, Infinite Love.

Join us as we sit down with Jason Shiers, who overcame immense adversity to find true healing and transformation. At the tender age of 5, Jason tragically lost his father and his mother was lost in her grief, becoming emotionally unavailable. Having no external support to deal with his loss and grief, Jason sought comfort in food, drugs, alcohol, and criminal activities.

Jason's path of drugs and jail time eventually led him to 12-step programs and therapy. While he did reach sobriety, Jason never found the inner healing he longed for.  However, everything changed when he attended an intensive retreat in Los Angeles. and received a life-altering invitation:  be fully present in the current moment. This invitation became the key to unlocking Jason's inner self, revealing that everything he desired—healing, happiness, and wholeness—had been inside him all along.

After this transformational revelation, Jason no longer needed therapy or the 12-step approach to cope with his inner world. To support others, he shifted his therapeutic & coaching model to focus on acknowledging the inherent strengths within individuals and encouraging them to discover their own true nature.

Today, Jason hosts the podcast "Misunderstandings of the Mind" and runs his coaching program called "Wide World Coaching," where he guides others toward their innate potential and true selves.
