In this powerful and intimate episode, I sit down with my Auntie Carey to explore her transformative journey through meditation and healing. Carey shares how she discovered meditation during her divorce and how this practice, combined with therapy, helped her navigate grief, loss, and reclaim her power after an abusive marriage.From primal screaming to finding "golden moments" throughout the day, Carey offers practical wisdom on releasing emotions and staying committed to yourself during difficult times. She discusses the dangers of social media during healing, explains why reprogramming takes time, and shares her current experience caring for a husband with dementia.This conversation is filled with beautiful insights about focusing on light even in darkness, embracing change rather than resisting it, and practical techniques for letting thoughts go during meditation. Carey's journey reminds us that healing is possible, and that even through life's greatest challenges, we can find peace, purpose, and even joy.Timestamps:0:00 Introducing Carey Brown3:00 Discovering meditation during divorce4:55 Exploring guided meditations and classes6:47 How meditation and therapy helped through grief10:00 The healing power of primal screaming16:55 Overcoming an abusive marriage and reclaiming power20:13 Navigating social media during the healing process24:00 Why reprogramming takes time and patience27:46 Finding "golden moments" throughout your day34:00 The ripple effect of healing and color walks38:57 Life caring for a husband with dementia42:30 Choosing to focus on the light48:10 Unlearning resistance to change53:30 Techniques for letting thoughts go during meditation56:27 Closing thoughtsNext Listen:How to Overcome Life’s Challenges With My 90-Year Old Great Aunt Reena (Carey's aunt)The Secrets to Finding Happiness With My 85-Year Old Granny Mary (Carey's mother)Dating in Your Twenties: The Good, The Bad, The Glow-up With Sarah Rogers (Carey's youngest daughter) Want more tips?
