Grief is not just born from death. Sometimes, it may also emerge from loss of identity because of childhood trauma, loss of trust because of betrayals, and loss of self-awareness because of toxic relationships. Irene Weinberg is joined by Riana Malia, a board-certified neurosomatic practitioner and creator of the Clear to Create method™. She shares how she found her purpose helping women build the most out of their lives through her own fair share of heartbreak and reinvention. Riana also talks about what it took to reclaim her self-worth, turn the most painful chapter of her life into valuable learning experiences, and clear bitter patterns rooted in grief.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• Why loving again is difficult if you are still attracted to the same people who hurt you
• How to reframe your guilt
• How to stop telling old stories and come up with a new one
• Why permission have a negative side
• How Riana found the Love of her life

SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS RIANA:

• Why did you feel the need to spend your early years trying to prove your worth through performance?
• What did you do to arrive at a place of healing?
• How do you help women honor their grief without being defined by it?
• How do you help them become empowered?
