PODCAST
Everyone is welcome here to learn how to live, lead, & love with a whole heart! We sometimes need to unlearn what we've been taught & identify new ways of meeting needs for ourselves & in our relationships with others.
We discuss all things “relationship”. I invite you to listen to learn how to live, love, & lead with a whole heart. We all deserve to be whole, healthy, joyful, purposeful & connected.
Recovery, Relationships, Health, and Leadership
Listen to this episode for a more personal share about:
1. The context that led up to moving from Arkansas to St. Louis - it has been unfolding for many months! 2. How a late diagnosis of AUDHD means disruptions in environment & routine are more challenging & stressful. If this is you, you are not alone & there is a reason your brain is on the blink: it's about CAPACITY!
3. The real & regular challenge of obtaining adhd meds - which demands more executive functioning & adds to frustration.
4. Feeling DEEPLY means saying goodbye is hard. Extended good byes or abrupt are even more challenging.
5. GenX Cycle Breakers, like Renee, rarely get a chance to "come up for air" before a new or another life challenge arises.

What I Wish I shared with Tanner Wallace CPTSD Medicing
"Hi, I’m Taylor. I’m a Psychologist and Narcissistic Abuse
Recovery Coach, but honestly, I’m just someone who knows how messy and complicated healing from a dysfunctional family can be.

It’s taken me a long time to start reconnecting with my true self (and honestly, it’s still a work in progress). Now, I help others who’ve grown up with narcissistic parents find their way back to themselves
