In this episode of "The Real and the Woo," host Lauri shares insights from a recent trip with her friends, emphasizing the importance of the root chakra in fostering a sense of safety and belonging. She reflects on how our emotional states and insecurities can influence our experiences in social settings, particularly when introducing new dynamics into established friendships. She discusses the significance of feeling secure in oneself and how this foundation affects interactions with others, especially with friends and even, family.

Throughout the episode, Lauri encourages listeners to examine their own feelings of insecurity and the importance of self-acceptance and also touches on the interconnectedness of the chakras, highlighting how imbalances can manifest in social situations and impact our ability to express ourselves authentically.

The conversation serves as a reminder that wherever we go, we bring our emotional and energetic baggage with us, and it’s crucial to address these feelings to cultivate healthier relationships.

Join me as I sit live with Jackie Pilossoph, founder of Divorced Girl Smiling, as we discuss easy ways people navigating this time in their lives, whether it's wanted, planned, agreed upon, or not, may get back to center and find positivity. Eventually.

Jackie and I demystify the knee-jerk reaction some face when they feel they must pretend to be positive or feel they need to get there perhaps more quickly than they are truly ready.

The key: empower authenticity!
