EP 88: Abandoned to Abundant: Worthiness, Money and Coming Home to Yourself w/ Linda Brand
Linda Brand spent 40 years carrying shame, feeling less than, and abandoning herself to keep everyone else comfortable. Then one intuitive nudge in a Miami hotel bathroom said, "You belong here," and she sold her home in Michigan and moved across the country with her rescue dog.
Linda is an empowerment coach, the host of the top-ranked Worthy and Abundant podcast, the author of Worthy: A Self Love Journal, and she's writing her memoir, Abandoned to Abundant. We talk about people pleasing as a trauma response, why the hardest abandonment is the one we do to ourselves, and why you can't receive when your hands are closed.
