TW: Sexual abuse & bodily harm   Are you ready for some f%cking truth bombs? This week, Gabrielle sits down with the incredible Dr. Karin Luise, a badass with a PhD and a heart deep in the world of spiritual and emotional healing. They're diving headfirst into the transformative journey of spiritual awakenings, how to shed the trauma from those gut-wrenching past relationships, and importantly, how not to let that old baggage tarnish the new, healthier connections we all strive for.

This episode is packed with insights on embracing self-love amidst chaos, the necessity of hitting rock bottom to truly shine, and the continuous evolution of self within our relationships. It’s a must-listen for anyone eager to break free from the past and step into a life of growth, understanding, and unconditional self-acceptance.
