In this compelling episode of the Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt delves into the powerful concept of self-preservation. Tired of the overused terms "self-care" and "self-love," Brianne introduces self-preservation as a more practical and immediate approach to protecting oneself from harm. She passionately discusses how self-preservation is essential for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, especially for those recovering from trauma or navigating toxic relationships. Brianne shares personal anecdotes and practical advice, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and intentions to safeguard oneself from harmful behaviors and people. She offers listeners valuable insights on identifying and eliminating toxic elements from their lives, whether they be habits, relationships, or environments. Through a series of reflective questions, Brianne guides us to understand what self-preservation means individually and how to implement it effectively. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to reclaim their peace and joy by prioritizing their own well-being. It's a call to action to let go of anything that causes harm and to embrace a life of intentional self-preservation. #SecretLifePodcast #SelfPreservation #MentalHealth #Boundaries #SelfCare #TraumaRecovery #EmotionalWellness #PersonalGrowth #HealthyRelationships 🔑 Episode Keywords Self-Preservation, Mental Health, Boundaries, Trauma Recovery, Emotional Wellness, Personal Growth, Toxic Relationships, Self-Care, Harm Reduction, Intentional Living (00:00) Brianne: If I go into someone's life and ask for help (00:41) Welcome to the Secret Life podcast.
