This Is How to Stop Shrinking Who You Really Are | Brianna Weist | EP 101

What if the parts of you you keep trying to fix… were never broken?   In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author Brianna Wiest to explore how our deepest challenges often carry the exact lessons we need to grow. We talk about emotional pain as a portal — not a problem — and how patterns like self-sabotage, overthinking, and control can be rooted in unprocessed grief and self-abandonment.   Brianna shares how real healing happens through self-trust, emotional attunement, and making peace with uncertainty. We unpack how to move from reactivity into grounded presence, the difference between productive discomfort and trauma re-creation, and how to relate to pain without becoming it. We also explore the intersection of personal growth and meaningful work — and how building a life of purpose often starts with tending to your inner world.   If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns despite doing the work, this conversation offers a grounded reminder: what you’re going through isn’t a sign you’re failing — it’s an invitation to come home to yourself.   ===   Have you watched our previous episode with Lorin Krenn?
