In this Bent Not Broken bonus episode, Coach Deborah reflects on her inspiring conversation with therapist and author Stacy Schaffer. Together, they explore how true healing begins when we stop trying to erase the past and start integrating it.

💬 Key Takeaways:

• Reconnect with your inner child by asking, “What did my younger self need to hear?”
• Deepen relationships with the question, “Help me understand what it’s like to be you.”
• Heal through awareness by noticing when your younger self is reacting.
• Reclaim your story — your past may have shaped you, but it doesn’t define you.

You may be bent, but you are never broken. 💖
