Episode 75: Stepping Into Who You Are with Cherie Burton

In this conversation with Cherie Burton, we’re talking about a few different things, including emotional healing and mental health. Cherie, an emotional wellness expert, tells us how she has a pronounced family history of mental illness and how a string of suicides by loved ones drew her to studying psychology. In her studies, she wanted to crack the code of why people were not getting well, and we take a deep dive into that topic. She also answers the questions: how important are periods of rest and rebuilding? How can we have important conversations and human connection even during a global pandemic? And how is the pandemic actually a gift to us?

Key Quotes from the Episode:

“We’re experts because we lived through something, not because we sat in a classroom traditional and studied it.”

“Your mess is your message. Whatever the universe has served up to you in the forms of trauma or dysfunction or what have you, it morphs into, in some way, what you’re meant to share, teach, bless, lift, heal the planet.”

“We are more productive when we go into cycles of rest and rebuilding.”
