Most people think they are healing, but they are actually just becoming better at reacting to chaos. In this powerhouse episode of Keeping It Real on Purpose, we sit down with Brooke Deanne is not a coach, not a therapist, and not another spiritual influencer with surface-level advice. She is an Initiator for women who have survived trauma but haven’t yet met the woman they’re becoming, while exposing the truth about narcissistic abuse. Discover why your body is still stuck in survival mode long after the relationship has ended and how to identify the invisible strings that keep you tethered to the past. This isn't just about understanding the narcissist; it’s about reclaiming your nervous system and moving from a state of constant defense to true, soul-deep recovery.
This discussion examines the complexities of recovering from narcissistic abuse and high-control environments. The speakers argue that true healing requires moving beyond intellectual understanding to somatic recovery, breaking the \"survival mode\" of the nervous system, and reclaiming personal sovereignty from systemic manipulation and trauma bonds.
You said you healed
So why are you still reacting like you are in survival mode?
Why do you still overthink?
decision
Shut down in conversations or tolerate things you said you'd never accept again
That's not healing. That's a pattern
I'm your host edna white and this is keeping it real where we stop performing
Healing and we start interrupting with actually running your life
Today's conversation
Is going to challenge you because we normalize
Saying i'm healed
While still producing the same behavior the same results in the same cycles
And in my world we break it down differently
Today's guest is none other and I I can say her name a little right. It's so easy brook being
dm
Okay
No, I always do that say see I thought I had a handle and I didn't ask you
Today is going to break it all down for she works with women who survive
narcissistic abuse
High controlled environments and complex trauma
But let me be clear. This is not about staying in that soft comfortable place because she's going to tell us all about it
I am really excited to have her on because she is our first
Narcissistic
Is that am I saying? Right?
You are and i'm so excited for you to be here. Welcome to the show
Thank you so much edna for having me here. I'm excited to have this conversation. Um, and really just help people to see
Um, you know there is I will tell you this. I feel like everybody has somebody in their life
That has toxic patterns, you know kind of you know, we kind of just kind of put up with
Yeah
Yeah, we do. Yeah, and i'm saying i'm thinking about your name now. Deanne
Well, that's a nice name though
I know a friend that had her first name was deanna
Yeah
So let's get right to it, you know people say they've done the work they've gotten the therapy they read the books
Their behaviors are not saying that
Let's talk about that
What's the real what are the people confusing or understanding about this type of trauma that they actually are not healing?
um
you know, I think that for a lot of people and this is also this part of my story is like thinking that like
I could find some quick fix
And that I could do all of the things and then all of a sudden I would just be done. I'd be healed
I'd be like there would be no more pain. There'd be no more discomfort. Like I was just i've got it done, right?
Yeah, and of course
We're humans, right? We're like how can we get?
Comfortable real fast, right? Right. We want we want to get comfortable
It's why we fall into the traps that we do our coping mechanisms, right?
Whatever that looks like for you. Everybody has a coping mechanism. It could be a positive coping mechanism
A lot of people choose negative ones, right?
drugs the alcohol
Uh, you know the shopaholics in the world like all of those things
Um, don't forget food. Oh, yeah food food one, right food is a huge one
Yeah, because what does food give us instant comfort? It's the cheapest easiest way for us to get it
Right, yeah, we can go and grab a candy bar and we can feel way better about our emotions real fast real fast
Real fast, right? But what's happening is that we're not actually really dealing with what is going on inside of our bodies
Okay
and so I think that's the biggest piece and this is what I tell this is how I work with women now particularly because
This was part of my challenge. I was doing all of the uh,
I'll call traditional talk therapy the traditional like way of like working with the mind
And that's where I started, you know, I went uh, I became a clinical hypnotherapist
I started just thinking that you know what I can get out of my pains through my mind
No, no, no
There's another big component here and that's through your body
the mind and the body are connected and recognizing we often avoid um and disconnect from our bodies because
We live mostly up here and for someone that survived trauma
Has survived abuse which honestly the most of us have trauma. Okay. I don't think there's anybody on this planet that doesn't have some trauma
um and
Recognizing that like if you've survived abuse we live inside of our heads
We're constantly thinking overthinking ruminating we live
And we do not pay attention to the signals of our body
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes
and and so the most important piece I tell people is that
We have to deal with what's going on in the body because the body is a beautiful part of our human intelligence
It's constantly cycling to us and sending us messages. We're just not paying attention
We're just not taking the time to listen
And that's when people get chronically ill when autoimmune disorders show up
This is when we have back pain neck pain shoulder pain, right? Like this is the body is like, you know what?
I was trying to tell you
Listen so now you have cancer
Right or you have or you have something else or you have a heart attack or you have this right because the body was
Screaming at you for your attention, but you were not paying attention
You didn't care you kept drinking the alcohol you kept doing the bad diet you kept
The high stress job like whatever it is that you are continuing the pattern that you're in. Yeah
Right, you kept the abusive relationship whatever it is, right you kept doing it and thinking you had to hold on
and
The body is the the only way and the best way
To understand what do I need next when you start to listen to that and start to heal the body
um, you just start to recognize oh
My body is trying to tell me something here and I have to sit here and be present and it's a daily practice
It's a consistent practice. I do it myself with even all the work i've done on myself
Um, but I teach women how to somatically express emotion
Through their body and start to actually get really in tune with the body because that's when we get in tune with our intuition
Yeah, and we can really start to pay attention
Who's good for me who's not good for me you start to learn discernment and that is key in women that have been abused
I think that piece that you just said
is
we avoid sometimes because
Well, we had this friend for a long time
Or we you know, we know his the mother and the father and or we're in these groups
Like it's sororities fraternities all the and we stay in these groups and you feel
Like you're weird because i've been in a group like I feel the weirdest one. I'm the weirdest one what's going on?
But because i'm so used to it. I stayed in it, right?
Yes
Yeah, because you just don't know anything different
Um, you just don't really pay attention. You know, I had a recently, you know
I always like to talk about because it's not just romantic relationships, right?
um
We can be in toxic cycles, you know and family can use us right and it doesn't always look like physical abuse
verbal abuse
this is
when someone creates a cycle of
one-sided relationship
Right and then they're like they want you to show up for them, but then they can't show up for you, right?
Yeah, that's that toxic pattern of like, you know staying in whatever relationship that looks like
And they're draining their energy vampires and they're going to just take all they can get
and they're not going to give back to you and so it's like
But we hold on to people because we're afraid of loss
Right, right exactly. We don't want to deal with that part of it and um
And when you're in these groups you your body
I mean i'm telling you my body was telling me I don't belong here
Like I it was speaking to me like I would go in like
One of the groups I was in was it was a church group and I would literally my I would start twitching
It's like it's serious. It was like why is this just happening here because it was so toxic, but I was so used to it
and your body
Operates sometimes in auto autopilot. It just goes it just okay get in the car go to church get in the car
go to church and you don't think about it and then you look up and like
I used to look up and I said, how did I get here? I don't remember how I was like
What I was doing it was so methodical. It was crazy
Right. Yeah, it had become
Your habit it was your habit
Right, it became my habit and I couldn't even tell you
What I saw on the way going to church. I just know I got there
And I was like interesting
Yeah, you know you being in a hypnotic, you know brain wave
And the conscious just takes over and gets you to your destination because you don't have enough time
Right, you don't have to pay attention and that's really just
Right there to show you how we get stuck in our patterns. Absolutely. We have a habit
Right and that habit says go and do this at this time
And so you go and do it unconsciously because it's just become your habit
You know so we can have like I said negative or positive habits, but it's also being you know, what what's serving you?
What's what's wrong with you? And what's yeah, you know when you said the group in particular like you could feel that you know
I was
I was raised in a cult. I was in that cult for 36 years of my life
You know broke out of that cult and recognized it was a cult
right
and
You don't realize the toxicity that was really happening. So the um
All the love bombing that was going on within that community
And it feels like
Whoa, you get outside of it and you start to see things more clearly
Right, you start to see what was actually really going on and then now, you know how it affected you
It's the same thing in any toxic or abusive environment. You cannot see clearly while you are in it
right
It is it is, you know, the gaslighting manipulation
It's over and over it's over and over yeah
Over and over the toxic the high and the low the high
That it creates in your body, you know all of these things it is impossible for you to see clearly
And it's why you need someone to help guide you out of it
You I always tell women I pop the bubble for you. I pop the thing. That's good. I like that. Yeah
Right, you're in a bubble right now. I pop that fantasy. I show you
Actually what is happening?
in real time
So that now your brain can learn to identify it when it does happen, yeah, that's good
I I want to thank you for have it
putting a
definition in habit because
Definition of a habit is is a repeated action done automatically
Automatically you have no
Thing in it like you really don't because I I'm me telling you this and we're talking about this. I didn't realize
At into that moment that that was what a habit was
Now so I I literally was I look up and i'm like, oh i'm here. Yeah, like I was a genie like
Thank you so much for bringing that to light for me and for the audience
That this it's a habit when you're on automatic pilot, even if you hate your job
No, we were talking about the cult, but if you hate your job, I had clients that hate their job
But they get up every morning
and they go
And they're like they don't even realize what they did for the day. I said i'll ask them. What did you have for breakfast?
they wouldn't even know like
I don't even know. What did you wear? They don't even know like they
It's like oh, I wore a red dress. I went they don't even know
And it's like because you're on autopilot, you know, you're missing pieces of your life
Because you're on autopilot
You made me realize that. Yes. Yeah. Oh, well, i'm glad that you have that epiphany awesome. I love that
That's really great info
Audience, did you get it in it?
Got it. I got it
Yeah, now you gotta just identify. What are your habits, right?
Exactly
Which ones are serving you and which ones are not?
um
Yes, you know and it's it's weird, you know when you're in personal development and you've been doing it for a while
You start to get so aware of your own
Your own bullshit. I hope I can pass on here. Okay
Okay, good i'm like you get so aware of your own
Doing it in my real time and i'll be like, oh I know better
But then you don't it's like a therapist too, you know better but you just
Bad behavior, you know, and then now would you say a pattern because I always talk about patterns too
And I I know I talk about it's it's unconscious, but it's also a sequence of thought like emotions and behaviors at the same time
you know
They're all at the same time
But this you what because my one of one of my friends last night we did a live on
She
Was talking about habits and I kept saying him but I said they're different
They're different and you just oh my goodness. I am so excited about this. I am so excited. So habit
It's repeated. I'm gonna keep saying this the whole time
And it's done automatically. I love it
Yes
Great. I love that. Okay, so I gotta get past that now, right?
That so our audience what i'm hearing from my esteemed guest here is that
This is all about process mentally, but your body is still reacting the same
And that's a disconnection
Because you know better
But you still don't do better. Okay, that's what i'm hearing. I hope you're hearing the same thing
Okay, so
So now we're going to get to the survival patterns because you talk about them too, right I want to talk about those
um
Can you give me like three?
ways survival
The survival mode still shows up in your clients even when someone says they've healed
Yeah
so
Um, I will say even for me
Survival mode will still show up
It's inevitable
It is literally your default like your brain is one main job is to keep you safe and alive
So if you're not paying attention, you're gonna go back into survival mode
um, and I want to speak to also the fact that when you're in survival mode, we're often just
We put our head down and we do the thing
So, you know, we could be struggling in life
We could be really highly stressed but we're when you said you didn't even know what they don't even know what they wore that day
It's that survival mode. You're not even able to recall like events like you often like don't have like, uh,
You know a very good memory
Most of your life is being lived through survival survival mode. You're going just from one
Um thing that you do to the next that you always have done and it's just you're basically re-firing that neural pathway
And so you're not present
in your daily life
And I know just people are like, what does that even mean? Well, you're not really here
You're not there
You and that's where you often find the people that say, you know, I'm here but i'm like just going through the motions
I'm just going to you know what I know I need to do and get done
Like I recently had a client say to me she goes well
I know i'm supposed to be social. So I just
I do the social thing because I know that I need to do it because it's healthy
But she goes i'm not really there. I'm I don't feel connected. She goes right
She literally says I feel empty. I'm just going through the motions
That is somewhat it's a key person that you can tell I am in survival
Right, so you're either going to feel empty
um
Kind of like a void nothingness kind of just like kind of like an ultimate like hopelessness depression kind of like that's your lowest
This is a nervous by the way. This is called dorsal vagal shutdown or collapse
Or you're going to feel
like you are
um, you know the opposite where it's like you're kind of just like
Okay, i'm doing this thing, but you're also maybe you're high energy and you've got to be busy busy busy busy busy busy busy
You're like you fill in your calendar you're going, you know, and you think like you're just
And you got like all your life together
But no, you're just burning all the energy that you have until you finally at one point you collapse
Your nervous system. I says I cannot hold down anymore
And then you go back down into dorsal vagal you go into the the shutdown the collapse of your nervous system
Because your nervous system can't run on that energy forever. No
You can't
And I think that's the faking it till you make it thing that we've all learned
Fake it till you make it and then you you know
I I I have done that when I was younger because you know when you survive and i'm you know, I suffered
Thousands of people so my place to go was in my head right overthinking or just living there, you know
You could you do that throughout your life and i'm telling you i'm gonna go back to this
You just opened up an aha moment for me
Because I was just saying this the other day. Why am I missing pieces of my life?
and
you just
Opened that up for me. It's the you know, constantly being ahead. It's it's
Dissociating disconnecting and you're going through the motions because you have to survive
and that's
so important that I mean audience that is like
Super
Super important. So thank you for that. Uh-huh. I mean
Yeah
Uh, you know, I think that there's something to be said too is like when you're in survival mode
You also live in a like what I call a fear consciousness
Yeah, where everything is urgent?
Everything is an emergency
Everything is like oh my gosh, like what's gonna happen next and everything
Wrong and like you're constantly in this just like hyper vigilant state. Yeah, absolutely
Because you're nervous. You're nervous just never has enough time to go back to baseline, right?
So you're always here and so one thing can happen
You're all of a sudden you're just like you're irritable. You're angry
You can't handle even the smallest inconvenience, but the dishwasher is not working and you're like flipping out
Like that's just showing you how
Dysregulated your body has become
And that's a signal to say. Hey, I need some support here
like
Like I need some some. Um rest I need
Like can you come back to this present moment? Can you take a freaking breath?
Right like
Um, and that's just the body kind of speaking to you and we just don't realize it because one we're not taught these things in schools
We're not taught these things by the generations before us. They didn't even have a clue that even existed, right?
So we are evolving as human beings and we're starting to see what no longer works
We're actually starting to break old patterns old generational patterns
Trauma and we're starting to crack it from that, you know
what used to be
Is no longer because we can't sustain ourselves
Forward we cannot sustain the generations that are going to you know, go forward with this because we can't live like this
So we're all we're all learning in real time
For sure we're all learning right and we are wow boy, are we learning, you know, like
we're seeing all the
the political scenes
And you know the social scenes about you know
Being able to see all of these things like kind of being exposed but also seeing okay, where is harm? Where is abuse?
Where is like, you know religious systems harmed people?
Um people kind of waking up to this reality
People waking up to the fact that they've even been in abuse because we're starting to see and expose
What is actual harm? What is actual?
Now we have the language to articulate it before it was just kind of normal. Oh women are going to get depressed
Women are going to get abused like oh you can forgive you can forgive them, you know a million times because the bible says
Right, exactly
And then they put their lunk together forgive and forget that's highly impossible
Highly impossible and it's not supposed to be because you you have to learn the lesson from it you forget you're gonna
Experience that same thing
over and over and over again, but it's highly it's highly improbable that you're gonna forget and and that would
always confuse me one of those things it's like
Like, you know, why would I give this guy or this woman or anybody
Some a perpetrator that did something to me. Why give him a break?
Why would I give him a break? Yeah, they don't care, you know, they don't care
That has been like infiltrated to us right like that messaging was a big in religion and it was like give and forget
Give and forget. Yeah
7970 like what?
I'm all like how they were talking about people that like beat people up and like
Right
It's just again something that was taken way too far to an extreme. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, and you know, you know was all
Connected to control us because for sure
All of us are controlled by that, you know, it's it was
Right if we're abusing each other and we're in survival mode we are easier to control
Exactly. Exactly. You can't see clearly. We're just surviving. We just got our head down
All of us are gonna just follow suit gonna follow soon
We became zombies we become robots
And I know you heard this in this
um
We're led as sheep
To the slaughter you ever heard that?
Yeah
And I heard that i'm telling you
when I heard that
Immediately, I saw all of us just going up to like the altar and it freaked me out
And I remember when I was getting ready to leave that was one of my visions and I was like, oh
That scared me like I just came out of nowhere
This is and I I saw the line of us just walking up letting somebody touch us on the head
Do anything talk to us any kind of way tell us things about ourselves and I was like wow
and
You know my intuition I I would say to you
I I always had intuition. I think we all have what we call or some call clairs, you know
We all have that and we and it's both to us with intuition. Let's make it plain with intuition, you know, and so
We never we used it at one point when was young and then somebody told us you're not supposed to do that
Yep, you know even just thinking for yourself. You're not supposed to do that. Yes. We have a leader for it
They would tell you that they would honestly tell you you're not supposed to do that
The leader tells you what to do. The leader tells you who to marry the leader tip
It doesn't even matter whatever it is. The lady even tells you you can't wear certain things you're going to a public school
You can't even wear
Gym shorts
You know, but you look really crazy
Someone you know and and it creates that separatism, you know, it just created that for us
and I know for you you probably the same thing you had to
Unlearn, right? You had to unlearn some things, right? You had to yeah, I had to basically unlearn my whole life
From 19
From 19 all the way ahead in my 40s. I was like I had to sit down and learn everything, you know
You don't know how to be an adult you don't have no idea and that's narcissistic, you know to me, you know
for to have to be a leader of someone, you know, you have to have a certain brand of
I want to say hatred for people
because
You see their pain
But yet you're still cutting them. You're still cutting them. So it that's almost to me
I think I would say that would be narcissistic behavior. Maybe you're the specialist but it's just don't care like everything's about me
Everything always revolved about how they looked, you know that if you do this, this is gonna make me look bad
So you gotta look you gotta be like this, you know, everything revolved around them. So to me that was
very narcissistic, but
You know, you're spot on no and then you're spot on
The you know high control religion is based off of a narcissistic model
Right. There's hierarchy. There's superiority
Um, there is the leaders and then you especially for in my religion. It was women had to look up to the man
Right. Absolutely
She didn't get a voice
She didn't have any, you know value other than the fact that she was meant to be a wife take care of the children
Preach the word
That's it
Yeah, and walk five steps behind the husband come to church when you don't feel well, you know all this
Nonsense utter nonsense. It was really nonsense
I remember when I because I I modeled when I was younger and I loved it. Of course you see I love
Every you see my door. I got different earrings everywhere. I loved earrings
So I was like, I don't understand why I can't wear earrings. So I put one one back
It was this big
Deal what is this?
I'm like
Going on about my business, you know
And the next thing I know we we had to have emergency meeting and I was the emergency
Yeah
That's them controlling how you look because
They want that control they desire that and they will get it. However, they want
Um, and it's you know
It's it's sad, you know that a lot of people still exist in those systems. Yeah the same time. I always tell you know
I used to be angry about it, you know, because I lost family to it. I got shunned leaving but it was like
Okay, I see the harm that's going on, but I also see the spell they're under because I was once under that spell too
Absolutely
They're casting spells every day every day over those people over over yeah
Yeah, I mean like i'm like you want to call talk about witchcraft a lot
Talk about what what did they call witchcraft was oh astrology
Yeah, I would say to them well didn't the three wise men find jesus by a star exactly
Right, so how does how does astrology not work, you know, how did you didn't happen you didn't come in this world with a clock
You know
You know they had no time by the stars and then the beautiful thing about it is
Astrology is in us. Our nervous system is nothing but the stars
All through our body not our nervous system. So I just love how
This world shows us what's going on with us we got all the way off girl, we I know we got to talk about
We did we did
I mean because I mean it's it's important to talk about like we were talking about that narcissistic dynamic
Right and just seeing how it shows up in
all kinds of systems
Right. It's showing up in all kinds of systems. It's like, um, you know
Even when I left that cult I also saw how they conditioned us
To really have a like to think that we were superior to other people. Yeah, right, right
Because we had the truth
Yes, it's like it's kind of like wow
But that's what makes people
Want to be a part of the society, right? Oh, i'm special. Yeah
So this is the beautiful thing. I don't know if you've ever studied tony robbins like, uh work before but I mean
He talks about the seven human needs
And yeah, the seven human needs. Well, one of them is significance. So are
We are wired to get significance. However, we can find it
Yeah, so we will do this not even knowing that we are doing this
And so sometimes we can find like we can do it in our every day, right?
Like maybe we're gossiping about betty joe. Yeah, joe did x y and z and we feel better than her
By judging her, right? We're getting our significance that way
And then if we like so we're just seeing how it can play out with just small little things, but we will do that
Unconsciously
Yeah, so
What better ploy?
Then this is actually this all came full circle a narcissist whether that's in a relationship
a family member a friend
a boss
Or a religious leader. What are they gonna do? They're gonna make you feel special. Yeah
It worked
What it was in 29 years it worked
Oh my gosh, i'm special then I better obey
and it was
You know, it was amazing how that was because you were talking about you work with women
Coming out of narcissistic abuse and high control environments
I
Work with the same type, but I religious I i'm going back to kind of get those people
There and then feeling those those those pains, you know preacher's kid syndrome. Oh gosh, that's
a whole nother another area, you know, but just being
in that traumatized women were you know, I mean we were made to
Dress less than them and in my religion where I was not my religion, but where I was in the cultish
We would we were told to dress down we didn't dress everything was plain and chaste for us
But then were glamorous and and you know glamorous and big, you know
But we were supposed to be chaste
Okay
whatever that meant
um, and
we couldn't
Look modest. They use the word modest. So ugly meant modest to them because everything they told you to wear was ugly. Um
From your point of view, what does that?
Actually do to women's identities because I mean we know what it did, but I want you to tell the audience
You know tell the audience. Well, it's self-erasure. They lose their identity. They don't have an identity
Right. They do not have they don't have an identity
Um, and you know because what happens in those type of environments is one minute you're chosen and special
But the next minute when you've you know
Disobeyed or when you've pissed off that abuser or when you're in that moment
Yeah, you're discarded. You're abandoned. You're yes. Yeah, or you could be destroyed by god, right? Like whatever that whatever
God is going to hit you that is going to get you that is going to get
You're so one minute you're chosen and special and then the next minute you were like completely discarded and you're like wait
What the hell like your your whole identity is like you have that's that's what we call the trauma bond, right?
This is the intermittent reinforcement one minute. I love bombs. You're treated like a freaking queen
You're like giving all the guests. You're like, oh
You are everything's gone, yeah
They withdraw their love
That's a trauma bond
One minute you have a god that says I love you and the next minute. Oh you disobeyed and now god
Exactly exactly exactly like it is, you know, that was the god that I grew up knowing
That was the relationship that I was in that father that I had one minute. I had his love the next I didn't
It's over
You know, so it's like when you have those dynamics it's like
Don't have an identity other than the fact, you know that you're like
I have to be who I need to be in order to be loved and accepted and I have to suppress who I really am
Yeah, because I can't be her. It's not safe
Right, exactly
That's good. So now we have left, you know, let's say we've left the situation
but
What happens with us is we're?
Second guessing right?
And I know somebody out in the audience was second guessing ourselves because when we're adulting like so when we were in that bubble
We didn't experience relationships
But those were controlled
We didn't experience
Socialization because that was controlled
We didn't experience money jobs anything like that that because all those things were controlled
So now we're really in the world now once we leave in this world
We have no idea how to speak to anybody. We have no clue right? No clue
so we're still asking questions like
I know maybe it came maybe it came to you but I
Am I really too much because that's what they oh, you're just too much
You know, you're a black sheep by the family
You're out in the left field somewhere
They said that to me all the time when I would ask questions that they had no answers for
You know spiritual questions that they had no answers for or you know, or I was wrong
and then the biggest one was should I just shrink and be quiet and I
Noticed when I was like got out of it. I would be around people
I'm not worthy to be around them because I don't have a bachelor's degree
I don't have this or not and I was making all these things so I'd shrink
and i'd be just there and
I can't even tell you again. You opened my eyes to this
I was just going through the motions being with people because I needed to socialize
Until I woke up and said hey, this is not socialization. I'm not getting no connection with these people
You know, I want connections because we like you said earlier about tony robbins
We all need that that that validation somewhere. We need it. We need that. We need connection
Yeah, we need the connections we're here for we got two hands and two feet two ears, okay audience we connection that's connecting
So here's here's a question. I need I want you to answer for me. How does
Or how did we?
outs outsource our identity and start owning our decisions
I know we how did we stop? I'm, sorry. How did we stop outsourcing?
How would you?
Yeah, I think that's a beautiful question. Um
because
For me it was learning how to become a sovereign woman
And when I say sovereign
Not like, you know, don't think of it in a religious form
Being being sovereign actually what that definition actually means when you look it up
Is being a self-led individual
That
Makes her own decisions
Yes
Decides by her own emotion
She outsources. No
Nothing
She doesn't need anybody. She doesn't need anybody's acceptance. Yeah, she just needs her own
She makes moves she makes decisions and she decides things in her life
Solely based on her own intuition her own sovereignty
Knowing that she can trust herself because she knows how to lead herself
That's great. That's really good. And that's you. I mean, that's really honestly learning
how to
one create boundaries people
To stop listening to all the noise
Um to know that no one gets to make any decisions about your life
That's just you
Look, that's a few that is so real. That is yeah, that's no fluff. No pretending that is
No, no surplus
Surface level answers. I love it
Guys, if you're listening right now and recognizing yourself
This is the moment to take
charge
Sovereign because awareness is not enough without the action, you know, I know I went through it. I know probably booked it too
It's just another uh pattern because we see women that I got all the answers, but i'm not doing nothing with it
You know
You heard the story. Um, so audience just don't talk about it do it
Look, how can we find you?
You're gonna come back because this was not enough
Oh, well, thank you. I appreciate that. You know, actually I what I want to just really quickly speak to is any woman that's on here
um
What i'm when we're talking about patterns, right?
Um, I really have identified with all of the women i've ever worked with
That when they get stuck in relationships that don't serve them
The little girl the inner child in them is actually is actually leading their life
Not the sovereign woman
So it's pretty wild when we kind of look at that love pattern that love template
Um, I actually created a quiz so for you to understand how you actually receive and earn love
Or how you think you need to get love
And when you identify that you start to see your pattern and how that shows up for you
Um, so i'm going to give you that quiz so you can put it here in the show notes because it's pretty it's it's wild
It's really interesting, but they can find me
Um on that quiz and they can also find me at brookdn.com
