180. Break free from Guilt and Blend with Authenticity and Security

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in an emotional minefield?  

For many couples, when a sense of guilt creeps in, it can be debilitating.  They might want to move toward blending but find themselves trapped in a minefield of guilt and regret.

I (Kim) stayed stuck in my own personal minefield of guilt for way too long.  It impacted every area of my life — particularly the way I dealt with our blended family challenges.

In this episode, I share how I eventually broke FREE from unhealthy guilt and learned to manage my difficult emotions from a healthy, secure place of growth and empowerment!

You'll Discover:

• The difference between healthy guilt and unhealthy, false guilt
