Trigger warning for this episode as it talks of her experiences of sexual abuse as a child and a woman.  I admire and appreciate Bekah's bravery in sharing her story on continuing to rise up after being sexually abused throughout her life.  Everyone's journey to healing is different, Bekah's ways of healing will be different from yours but we hope that this episode and her sharing will at least help give someone that push to get help and address their trauma.   There is hope and better times ahead, get help, you cannot do this alone!

8. Recognizing Trauma ft. Celia Ale

Welcome back to the Self Love Series with Cass Atiga!   In this episode I sit down with the beautiful Tina and Nisha and talk about the single life and how that has influenced their self love.  My take aways from sitting down with these ladies was don't wait. Your best life and pursuing your dreams are on the other side of your fear. When you live up to doing things that make you better for YOU that is what sets you up for healthy relationships. NOT when you do things to be valued and loved by someone else. Things won't stick when you are doing it for those reasons. You set yourself up for a toxic relationship when you think you can change someone or that you're going to do x, y, or z so that they notice and want to be with you. Another person does not make you whole, you are whole on your own.   Self Care Practices to better their moods: Tina: Cleaning Nisha: Talking to loved ones and Hiking being out in nature and moving your body  Episode 7 Call to Action:  Take the risk and show up for yourself. Don't wait to have a significant other. Book that dream trip. Buy that condo/townhome/house. Leave that job you hate. Take that job that excites and challenges you. Get that trainer and get in the best shape of your life. Pursue your dreams.

7. Being Single & Making the Most Out of It ft. Tina Tupou & Nisha Tausinga

Love these ladies and the very raw and real convo I had with Tina and Candace about their experiences with postpartum depression.  Call to Action for the week:  Think about how you can BETTER show up for yourself.  Recite to yourself, “My feelings are valid, I deserve to be happy.” Then commit to doing the 1 harder thing that you have been putting off but you know is going to benefit you and lead you down the road to recovery.  ***you can do hard things and you are worth the effort***  If you are struggling with this get help, it does not make you weak, you cannot do it alone, your feelings are valid and you deserve to be happy.  If someone you love reaches out to you in that they are struggling with this, be there to listen so they feel seen, keep loving them, and be open minded.

6. Postpartum Depression ft. Tina Tuakoi and Candace Teisina
