Killing the Martyr in relation to Conflict is all about recognizing and then unlearning the patterns that are multigenerational, usually through the Maternal line. Conflict resolution is handled in so many different, and often unhealthy ways because we simply have not been modeled on what it looks and feels like to have and hold healthy boundaries. It is hard to be a stand for your own energetic freedom when you fear how other people will respond… or worse, not respond at all.

How are we as women perpetuating the sickness both as consumers and healers in an industry so needed right now?
