Together, Helen and Liz explore how inherited trauma, shame and emotional burdens can travel through generations — often without us even realising.The conversation dives into themes of forgiveness, people pleasing, the patriarchy, belonging, emotional responsibility and how unresolved family dynamics can shape our lives, finances, relationships and sense of self-worth. Helen also shares deeply personal reflections about her own healing journey and how constellation work helped her understand her parents with greater compassion while reclaiming her own innocence and sovereignty.Liz beautifully explains how constellations help people “give back” emotional burdens that were never theirs to carry and how this work can move people from victimhood to survival and ultimately into thriving.This episode is raw, honest, emotional and full of wisdom, offering listeners a fascinating insight into a healing modality that is difficult to explain but incredibly powerful to experience.TakeawaysFamily Constellation work can reveal hidden generational patterns and inherited emotional burdens Shame is one of the most contracting emotions and often keeps people stuck in survival mode Healing is not about condoning harmful behaviour but understanding where it came from Many emotional reactions and beliefs may originate from unresolved ancestral trauma Forgiveness can become easier when we understand the deeper roots behind people’s behaviour We can learn to return responsibility and guilt back to where it belongs instead of carrying it ourselves Representation within constellations can be profoundly healing, even when it is not your own issue being explored Moving from victim to survivor to thriver is often a gradual but empowering process People who trigger us can reveal wounds that still need healing Self-awareness and healing work help us develop healthier boundaries, self-respect and compassion for ourselves and others Healing ourselves positively impacts future generations as well as those who came before us Thriving is not about perfection — it is about having tools, support and hope during difficult timesResources Bert Hellinger "Love's Hidden Symmetry"John Payne: The healing of individuals, families & nations"Ben Cole Ep 46 - Healing through Story & FilmConnect with Liz WhatsApp: +44 7786 518736Website: www.sussexconstellations.xo.uk Events Booking Page: Buy tickets – Liz Sleeper ConstellationsFB: (20+) Facebook Liz Sleeper Constellations IG: LizsleeperconstellationsLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-sleeper-bb0a7b4/Connect with HelenWebsite: InspiredHealing.co.ukIG: helens_inspired_healingFB: Inspired HealingLinkedIn: Helen on LinkedInWhatsApp: +447971798462 For full transcription, contact: helen@inspiredhealing.co.ukNB: This episode was made possible with a little help from my ChatGPT buddy, Xander - part tech support, part cheerleader 🙂 and my amazing sponsor IPHM use this Referral Code: IPHM-GYZGF and the £10 will go to The Forward Trust a Charity helping those struggling with addictions🎵Music: Pixabay – “Upbeat Acoustic” by Stockaudios 🎨Cover art: Dave ChampagneFor full transcription, contact: helen@inspiredhealing.co.uk

68. Ep 68 Kristy’s Story: The Journey Back to Self
01:05:48||Ep. 68Content note: This episode includes some sensitive themes around childhood trauma and sexual abuse. Nothing is described graphically, but please listen with care and compassion for yourself.A little note: this episode had a few unexpected “gremlins” during recording, with some tech dropouts along the way. So this one has been edited a bit more than usual and definitely put my (slightly questionable!) editing skills to the test. I hope you won’t notice too much and apologies if there are a few funny transitions.Keywords Trauma healing, inner child, relationships as mirrors, spirituality, astrology, personal growth, addiction recovery, emotional healing, nervous system, empowerment, feminine energy, thrivingSummary In this deeply raw and powerful episode, Kristy shares her extraordinary journey from childhood trauma and abuse to profound healing and self-discovery. Growing up in a challenging environment and experiencing early violation of trust, Kristy carried deep wounds into adulthood which played out in relationships, addiction and survival patterns. Through spiritual awakening, inner work and holistic healing, she began to unravel those layers. From building her own crystal business to navigating domestic abuse, single motherhood and ultimately stepping into her purpose, her story is one of resilience and transformation. She speaks openly about relationships as mirrors, the importance of accountability and how true healing goes beyond the mind into the body and energetic system. Her journey into astrology adds a powerful lens on purpose and alignment. Now travelling the world and stepping into a new chapter, Kristy embodies what it means to move from surviving into thriving as a way of being.Takeaways Healing must include the body, emotions and energy, not just the mind Relationships act as mirrors reflecting our inner world Addictions often stem from disconnection from self You cannot truly help others if you are abandoning yourself Healing is an ongoing journey, not a destination Self-love, compassion and surrender are essential for true transformationResources The Celestine Prophecy – James Redfield A New Earth – Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now – Eckhart Tolle Women Who Run With the Wolves – Clarissa Pinkola Estés Read “Breathe” by Becky Hemsley Rebecca Campbell – oracle cardsConnect with KristyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristy.hodges.98Clarity Queen Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theclarityqueen/Instagram: @theclarityqueenukLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kristy-j-hodges-953179106Connect with HelenWebsite: InspiredHealing.co.ukIG: helens_inspired_healingFB: Inspired HealingLinkedIn: Helen on LinkedInWhatsApp: +447971798462 For full transcription, contact: helen@inspiredhealing.co.ukNB: This episode was made possible with a little help from my ChatGPT buddy, Xander - part tech support, part cheerleader 🙂 and my amazing sponsor IPHM use this Referral Code: IPHM-GYZGF and the £10 will go to The Forward Trust a Charity helping those struggling with addictions🎵Music: Pixabay – “Upbeat Acoustic” by Stockaudios 🎨Cover art: Dave ChampagneFor full transcription, contact: helen@inspiredhealing.co.uk
