Overcoming Toxic Relationships and Reclaiming Your Identity with Irina Shehovsov

Dawn welcomes the founder of Reclaim Your Life and 2x number one, international best-selling author Irina Shehovsov to the show to discuss how to overcome toxic relationships and learn how to listen to your inner voice. Irina shares her personal journey from pain to purpose and the lessons learned along the way that helped her reclaim her identity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We have big bodies but on the inside, we’re still kids and it’s important to open up and be creative. It doesn’t matter how you are you should still have a hobby to help express your emotion.
• We shouldn’t stop doing the things we’re passionate about to accommodate our partner, we’re taught that family comes first but as women, we end up boxing ourselves in and putting out own happiness to one side when we’re in a relationship or start a family.
• As children, we are being conditioned to always comply with the figure of authority, whether it's our immediate family, our parents, or our caregivers. This translates to a husband too and women are taught to comply but as a result, they can lose their sense of identity.
• We forget to listen to our inner wisdom and our inner voice because the answer is always within sight. The question is, are we listening sometimes it's our ego that is always screaming when we are not treated fairly, but there’s a tiny little voice somewhere in the back, very quiet, waiting to be heard.
• You need to create a practice of meditation, of forgiveness to be able to heal that little voice and to recognise when it's speaking and to respond to it instead of placing our authority into other people's hands.

BEST MOMENTS

“I love exploring creativity and different aspects of it. So dancing was that outlet for me.”

“Dancing helped me get back home to myself and realise what I’m capable of and how amazing it makes you feel.”

“My happiness doesn't matter right now because I need to take care of all of this.”

“I was so compliant and complacent that I didn’t raise my voice to voice my objections and I lost my identity.”
