Rediscovering Yourself: Lilli Bewley on Codependency and Self-Compassion
What if life was as easy as turning towards or turning away?
Ever wondered what it means to truly turn towards yourself? In Episode #31 of The Lilli Bewley Podcast, Lilli invites listeners to explore the profound concept of self-discovery and self-compassion. She kicks off with a simple yet powerful question: 'What if life was as easy as turning towards or turning away?' This sets the stage for a deep dive into codependency, a state Lilli describes as 'a complete break from myself'.
She opens up about her own struggles with feeling lost and disconnected, having denied her voice, wants, and desires for far too long. But there's hope. Lilli shares her favorite tool for reconnecting with oneself: curiosity. By being curious, she suggests, we can start to accept, listen to, and be patient with ourselves. The episode is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of self-awareness, compassion, and kindness in the healing journey.
Lilli breaks down the ways we often turn away from ourselves—through denial and detachment—and contrasts these with ways to turn towards ourselves, such as through acceptance and awareness. Her message is both inspiring and practical, encouraging listeners to take the first step towards healing by turning inward. Tune in to discover how you can start this transformative journey today.
