Finding Joy in Darkness with Gloria Sarpong
Manage episode 360778326 series 3331251
Do you ever meet the most interesting people in your Uber? In this podcast episode, I share an incredible woman with a message of finding joy in darkness and rising above. As a guest in her car, with the beauty of holding space, Gloria’s story was both chilling and inspiring. I wanted her to share her story with you, and she was thrilled to, with a desire to inspire others!
Gloria shares her story of childhood immigration, shifts in familial systems, abuse, poverty, and how she was determined to not be stuck in the world she was raised, but to strive for more. She shares her epiphany that her current pregnancy with a daughter is her opportunity to create a legacy of love as a parent, and what has led her to now. Once fearful that she didn’t have the skills from her own mother to raise a female child, she has changed that narrative to an opportunity to give her baby the love she did not get from her own mother.
We also discuss:
- the impact of your environment
-recognizing your trauma – abuse and manipulation
-intentional change
-miscarriage, loss, and hope
-hurt people hurt people- healing from your hurt
-the parental desire to love and protect
-the legacy of self-love
-following faith and intuition
- support systems that can make a difference
- the power of one caring adult
-community, connection, and pride
