Lesson 2 : Embrace and Learn to Love Your Little Girl
Inside of us is our little girl who is scared and unsure . A little girl that wants to protect herself from everything bad that has happened and prevent it from happening again . Her wisdom and knowledge are limited and therefore remembers certain things are painful and does everything to protect us from that pain again . She does not realize we have more experience , knowledge , and wisdom from those experiences and capable of making better decisions . Embracing your little girl inside and having conversations with her is so life changing .
Lesson 3 : Embrace Your Past and Your Current Journey

I went back into my closet found another skirt that made me feel just as beautiful more comfortable about myself .
Sacred Story Example : I held resentment towards my mom for many years because I felt she had pushed her traumas onto me . I grew up hearing , “ Be self-reliant . Men can ’ t be trusted . Don ’ t rely on anyone . You can do or be anything you want to be in life . Don ’ t take no for an answer .” Some of her guidance was healthy , except around the topics of relationships . For a long time , if a relationship didn ’ t work out , I blamed her . Then I attended a lifechanging seminar that changed my ‘ story ’. A woman was talking about her dad and how he was such a horrible father . The guidance given was “ You would not be the person you are today without your father being the way he
