Harnessing Your Power with Demarra West
Join host Elaine Starling in this empowering conversation as she and therapist and healer, Demarra West, explore the path to abundance, the importance of self-love, and the transformative power of choice. Gain insights that will inspire you to embrace personal growth, release limiting beliefs, and step into a life of abundant joy and peace.
Drawing from her own journey of healing from complex trauma, Demarra emphasizes the importance of facing our traumas and integrating them into our lives to find genuine liberation and lasting joy. Through her lived experiences and a quest for truth, she discovered that true abundance comes from tapping into dormant parts of ourselves and aligning with our authentic selves.
Demarra explores the connection between abundance and self-love, highlighting the significance of nurturing a deep relationship with ourselves before extending it to others. She delves into the impact of limiting beliefs and societal conditioning on our ability to embrace abundance fully. By choosing curiosity, self-acceptance, and asking more questions, we can cultivate a life of abundance and connect with our highest potential.
Demarra's work focuses on helping individuals break free from feeling stuck and navigate life transitions with vision and confidence. She recognizes that a lack of confidence and the fear of asking for what we want often hold us back. By tapping into courage and taking action aligned with our true essence, we can manifest our dreams and create the life we truly desire.
