Show Notes
In this insightful episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life®, Brandy Gillmore shares key insights from a live session with Anna, a loving new mother who has been experiencing severe autoimmune pain. Anna had been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and extremely hard on herself.
As the session unfolds, Brandy highlights a powerful and often surprising insight: when someone is hard on themselves, the mind may not feel safe to heal all the way—even when there is a strong conscious desire to get better.
For Anna, being unwell had become linked to rest, care, and compassion for herself, while healing had become linked to pressure, criticism, and the expectation to push herself even harder.
Brandy explains how the mind can create mixed, counterintuitive emotional patterns that don't match what a person consciously wants.
This episode offers compassionate, eye-opening insights into how being hard on yourself or pushing through pain can quietly keep the body stuck—and how real healing begins when the mind learns that safety, self-kindness, support, and well-being are allowed.
