Therapist and hypnotherapist Kerie Logan joins us to explore how our core wounds form and shape our adult relationships. We dive deep into understanding the role of consciousness in healing trauma and manifesting the life we truly want.

• Core wounds develop in childhood when we spiral into shame and humiliation, creating negative beliefs about ourselves
• Our inner critic is actually a wounded part of ourselves that needs compassion and healing, not rejection
• The "anxious generation" struggles with authenticity due to social media creating constant comparison and performance
• Self-sabotage is usually an unconscious behavior stemming from fear of rejection or feelings of unworthiness
• Understanding your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, or disorganized) can help explain relationship patterns
• We manifest both positive and negative experiences based on our consciousness level and dominant emotions
• True healing involves accepting ourselves, setting boundaries, and raising our vibrational energy
• Genuine affirmations must feel congruent with our current state to be effective
• Gratitude practice shifts focus from what we lack to what we have, immediately raising consciousness

Our relationship with money directly mirrors our relationship with ourselves. Money mindset expert Pericles Rellas shares how shifting our thoughts about money can transform our financial reality and overall wellbeing.

• Money functions as a magnifying glass that amplifies who we already are
• Most people create debt trying to appear wealthy rather than building actual wealth
• Vacation debt often ruins the experience you were seeking in the first place
• Our "financial thermostat" regulates how much money we allow ourselves to earn and keep
• Four-step process: own your limiting money beliefs, release them, create new empowering beliefs, look for evidence
• Our surroundings reflect who we are—the people around us are mirrors
• Small consistent actions toward your financial goals create massive changes over time
