Hi. My name is Julie Hasselberger.  I am going through some incredible grief and trauma healing.  My son passed away at 26 years old, and losing him left a hole in my heart.  Shortly after that, I experience some terrible relational trauma and felt myself in a spiral.   As I continue to seek what comes next for me at 59 years old, having everything change, I want to share the light and hope that is guiding me.  It is my goal to be of service in some way to others.  That being said, I hope you will listen to my stories and thoughts.  We are all on some level of self actualization, I think.   This is done, this podcast, out of my love for my son, for others, and for myself.

This episode will cover why being able to stay in the present moment is helpful to our connection and healing.  I'll share some tools that I am using, to manage stress, adhd, cPtsd, complicated grief, dissociation and depression.  Yes, I have all of those.  

What is our real "authentic" self.  How do we figure that out? 

What is the benefit to our lives, from practicing mindfulness and being still?

We hear alot about "be in the present moment" but what exactly does that mean?

In all healing modalities that I have found myself in, there is an element of finding peace and growth, in the present moment.  Meditation has literally transformed my ability to know who I am on the inside.

What are a few tools that can help dysregulation, and other trauma related symptoms?  I share a few of mine...

I am a student of manifestation, and believe in it so strongly. 

I wrap up the discussion of healing, with a chat about energy.  During my entire life I have always felt a deep desire to care and help other people.  I also seem to be able to sense and feel and see energy.  I have recently affirmed that I am an empath, and none of this really surprises me.  I have just been entangled with being a special needs caregiver for my son, 24/7 for 26 years.  Now that he has passed away, I am left just witnessing what has been around me this entire time.  Some of it, really not so great.  Some of it, maybe, lying dormant in a sense.  But understanding energy is new to me, and it is helping me heal myself.

 Stress, fight or flight, ages us and makes us sick.  So why not, I say, try living a life from the heart space.  Affirm what you believe you are worth, and do not settle for the breadcrumbs.   I am definitely in the middle of personal crisis myself right now, and spend time lost in the pain.  Which I am learning is also perfectly ok.   It is perfectly ok to feel and be whatever and who ever you are.   When I do re emerge from periods of low times, I am right back into the practices of spirituality, stillness, creativity, focus, love, gratitude, developing healthy boundaries, and accepting what my intuition is guiding me towards. 

This is what being human is.  Learning and being curious and accepting.  I am trying.   I am determined to lean into intuition and let it guide me, from the space of the very moment I am in.

Also,  I feel my son’s
