Episode 34: Processing Exercise – The Courage to Stop Striving

Today’s episode of the Initiations in Love podcast is a follow-up to our previous episode: “From Overdoing to Spacious Self-Love with Mary O’Connor.” In that conversation, Mary shared the arc of her life: from eldest of nine children and lifelong caregiver, to someone who now lives with an emphasis on being rather than doing, and on allowing rather than striving. 

As a young girl, she stepped into the role of “the Big One,” tending to siblings and excelling in school, all while putting her own needs aside. Over the years, through a series of profound awakenings, Mary gently shifted into a life marked by ease, joy, and self-love. And isn’t that what we all long for?

In this follow-up episode, Britta reads a section from her spiritual memoir, Initiations in Love, called “Introduction to the Transformation Cauldron”. She then guides listeners through a journaling exercise to help you process what you’ve heard and reflect on your own Transformation Cauldrons.

🎧 If you’ve ever needed to be the “responsible one” before you felt ready, put your own needs aside for too long, or found yourself overgiving and overdoing, this episode is for you!
