"Everything starts with me… I didn't deserve what I got as a child, but it's now on me to figure out how to get out of that."
In this episode, Nick speaks with speaks Christina Russell, founder of the RusMix brand, about her journey through personal and religious trauma, the importance of self-awareness, and the healing process. Christina shares her experiences with a past relationship that led to significant emotional turmoil and how it intertwined with her upbringing and faith.
What to listen for:
We don’t have to face healing from trauma alone
Healing is a process that requires self-awareness and action
Negative thoughts can be protective yet still need to be managed
Community and connection play a vital role in the healing journey
It's essential to have grace and kindness towards oneself during tough times
The journey of self-discovery can be exhausting but is ultimately rewarding
"I laid on the ground for days… but when I was open to receive it, the right help came at the right time."
Real healing often begins the moment we drop resistance and allow ourselves to be supported
Hitting bottom isn’t the end, It's often the beginning of something powerful
Sometimes the help we need doesn’t arrive until we’re ready to actually receive it
There are dark moments that feel endless, but they can lead to breakthrough if we stay open
The right support doesn’t always require a fight; when you’re ready, it often meets you halfway
"Name your negative thoughts. Tell them, 'You’re not needed right now.'"
Naming the thought/feeling gives you power over it instead of letting it control you
You can give your inner critic a name, it helps separate it from your true self
Acknowledge your thoughts and set boundaries
Most negative thoughts are just your brain trying to keep you safe
You get to decide which thoughts get airtime and which ones get dismissed
