What if the key to a more authentic life lies in simply asking whether your actions stem from love or fear? This week on the Wisdom Podcast, Charlotte Alcala, a hypnotherapist from Molawe, Philippines, joins us to explore this powerful question. Charlotte shares the most profound wisdom she has received: the importance of being true and authentic to oneself. Drawing from her personal journey through the devastating 2021 typhoon that reshaped her life, Charlotte illustrates the delicate balance of serving others while honoring one's own energy, emphasizing the necessity of filling one's own cup first.

Imagine facing the aftermath of a natural disaster, only to discover an unexpected pregnancy on top of it all. Our conversation shifts to a deeply emotional narrative of a woman navigating anger, loss, and the difficult decision to terminate her pregnancy. Through her raw and honest story, we unpack the emotional and physical tolls of pregnancy, the societal pressures women face, and the critical importance of the right to choose. The healing journeys through therapy, hypnotherapy, and breathwork that follow underline themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and finding a path back to wholeness.

Ever wondered how childhood trauma, especially betrayal by a trusted parent, can affect adult life? We delve into the lasting impacts of such experiences and discuss how hypnotherapy can serve as a powerful tool for healing. Charlotte shares compelling cases that link emotional traumas to physical states, even touching on the fascinating concept of generational trauma. We wrap up with a heartfelt emphasis on seeking support during dark times, reinforcing that everything is temporary and that reaching out for help can unlock unexpected resilience and healing. Don't miss this episode—it's a moving tribute to the power of authenticity and the human spirit's capacity for recovery.
