S13 | Intimate Conversations: LOSS – A portal to Self-First Wholeness with Jessica Baum

Related Tags: ,

Jessica’s path and my path are elegantly aligned, our souls are here to do the deep work, to be role models of authenticity and credibility, to walk our talk. A dear colleague and returning guest, Jessica Baum and I reunited on Intimate Conversations to dive into the profound wisdom of her healing journey after the conscious completion of her marriage and the wisdom of this experience written for you, in her newest book, Safe.

In this brave, revealing and heartfelt conversation, we explored not just her expertise as a psychotherapist and author, but her lived experience of love, loss, grief, and deep integration.

We talked about: How leaving a relationship—despite love being present—taught her to honor her own needs and stop trying to “fix” partners who weren’t ready to do the work, to bless and release with love

-Why we’re so often magnetized to the “familiar” (even when it’s painful), and how implicit memory and attachment wounds stored in the body can unconsciously guide our choices in love

-The importance of safe people, safe mentors and safe environments when doing the deep healing of trauma and attachment wounds, and why support is essential—not optional

-The difference between a trauma bond (recreating old wounds with a partner) and true healing partnership where both people are willing to do the work and evolve together

-How respecting someone’s capacity—without judgment—helped Jessica find compassion for her ex, while staying committed to her own path of growth and embodiment

-Her practices for cultivating secure attachment through yoga, friendships, presence, and building safety in her own body—leading to deeper joy and connection with life

-And the heart and science behind her new book Safe, which she hopes will become a companion for readers ready to break free from old patterns and create secure, fulfilling relationships

I loved witnessing how we’ve both grown since our last Podcast. I respect her commitment to the work, to guiding her practitioners, to writing this next book and to having even more rich, soul-stirring connections with her friends. I love how we’re both open to healthy partnership from wholeness and even deeper integration.

Jessica also shared some beautiful free gifts with her book—like her Wheel of Attachment blueprint and a conversation with her mentor Bonnie Badenoch—so that you feel deeply supported as you walk this path of healing. https://www.beselffull.com/anxiouslya...
