The other day, I caught myself in a familiar trap: complaining. I woke up feeling miserable, and as I drove to work, I listened to an audiobook by Dr. Wayne Dyer. His words hit me hard: “We are responsible for the way we feel, and we have within us the capacity to change the way we view the events in our lives.” In this episode, I share how those words, along with insights from David R. Hawkins, Marcus Aurelius, and scripture, helped me shift my mindset. Complaining doesn’t just waste time—it locks us into negativity. Tune in to learn how gratitude, perspective shifts, and personal responsibility can transform your outlook and your life.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Julie Brumley, a trauma-informed adoptee coach and CEO of Coming Home to Self.
Julie has dedicated over 15 years to helping men and women overcome addictive behaviors and heal from the primal wounds of abandonment and trauma.
Her personal story is as inspiring as it is profound: after discovering her birth mother’s attempts to abort her, Julie spent decades frozen in an unconscious trauma response until she found her path to healing through somatic work and nervous system regulation.
Julie’s approach, informed by her master’s in counseling and her personal experiences, offers transformative insights—not only for adoptees but for anyone on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we dive into essential themes around healing, discussing topics such as abandonment wounds, intimacy blocks, addictive behavior, somatic trauma work, attachment theory, and self-awareness.
Whether you’re an adoptee or not, Julie’s wisdom will resonate deeply. Join us as we explore the path to radical self-belonging and the power of healing from within.
