The duo break down heart–mind coherence (thought + feeling), the power of belief, and why action builds identity and self-trust. Kristen introduces her daily “Sacred Soul Script” practice, writing your life a year ahead in the past tense and revisiting it morning and night, paired with consistent, inspired action. They discuss levels of consciousness (“to me, for me, through me, as me”), the gut–self-esteem link, lifestyle factors behind chronic issues, and why progress beats perfection. ************* LINKS & RESOURCES *************Learn how to heal and overcome childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, ptsd, cptsd, higher ACE scores, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and illness.
