Author, publisher and law of attraction expert Karen McDemott joins Pete in today’s episode to talk through how her experience with PTSD led her on the path to self discovery and how she ended up where she is today. Join Pete and Karen as they discuss the healing process, how to set intentions rather than goals and how knowledge can eradicate your fear.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of the finest stages of healing is when you are called to share your story. Hindsight is the most wonderful thing in the world, it gives you the ability to look back and realise that you were ready to process your feelings and release them. If you go through trauma and are not ready to deal with the emotions that come with it, you are in survival mode. Survival mode means you are not ready to heal and do the inner work required to move on from your trauma.

• With any personal transformation, you cannot just be thrown to the wolves because it is going to stir things up for you. You are going to have new ambitions and are likely to feel imposter syndrome on your new journey. Support is required for you to serve as reassurance and understand that what you are feeling is normal and valid.

• Setting goals is different from setting intentions. Goals are planned out and you have things in place which you need to do in order to achieve that goal, you are usually too preoccupied ticking off your list in order to reach it. Setting an intention is putting your vision out into the universe and saying that you are committed to that intention.

• People have forgotten how to ‘know’. So often people go outside for all the answers when really, the answer is within them. Once you have found the answer within yourself, you can go outside and support it happening. If you know the answer yourself why would you let somebody else have that power? Own your power and set yourself intentions and be open to opportunities that may come at you from all around.

• Knowledge eradicates fear. Fear comes from the fear of the unknown, but when you know where the source of the fear is coming from and understand that you have the power to move through it then the power is yours again. It is amazing to see someone find the fire in their belly to move through their fears.

• There is room for us all in the world, we do not need to compete. Some people love to compete, and that is fine if that makes them happy. Don’t win things for your ego, win them so that you are more visible and so that you can do more for the people you wish to help. Be proud of your achievements all the same.
