How do we live with our past without becoming trapped by it?

In this deeply reflective episode of Salt, Sage & Stardust, Keryn and Dr Vicki Haspels explore the relationship we hold with our past: our childhood stories, regrets, grief, inherited family patterns, old identities, and the versions of ourselves we no longer recognise.

Is your past something you carry, or has it been carrying you?

Together, they unpack the difference between honouring the past as a foundation and allowing it to become a prison. Through the lenses of Salt, Sage, and Stardust, they explore how healing happens not by living in old stories, but by creating safety, awareness, and freedom in the present moment.

This conversation moves through:
• how the body stores memory and trauma
• why the nervous system often lives in past tense
• the power of self-forgiveness and compassion
• recognising when old stories are still shaping present choices
• how awareness becomes the doorway to freedom
• why your past is part of your soil, not your sentence
• shifting from living through memory to living through meaning

And finally, a beautiful reminder:
If you woke up this morning, you made it.
Today is a brand new page.

Your past is not a prison.
It is the ground beneath your feet.

The best is still to come. 

If this conversation stirred something within you, we’d love to invite you deeper into the world of Salt, Sage & Stardust on our Substack page. It’s a space for those who are curious about healing, remembrance, self-awareness, and the sacredness hidden in everyday moments.
