Welcome to Episode 67 of Living Through Heart! 🌿

Have you ever found yourself picking fights over small things, feeling resentful out of nowhere, or creating distance in an otherwise happy relationship? You might be unknowingly using drama to create separation. This is something we all do at some point—myself included—and today, I’m breaking it all down for you.

In this episode, we explore:

✔️ How we use drama to self-sabotage relationships without realizing it
✔️ The subconscious beliefs & past wounds that trigger this pattern
✔️ Why our nervous system sometimes rejects happiness & stability
✔️ My own experience nearly falling into this trap (and what snapped me out of it)
✔️ Practical steps to stop creating drama & deepen connection

This conversation is raw, real, and deeply transformative. Whether you're in a romantic relationship, a friendship, or simply on a self-growth journey, this episode will give you insights into how to break free from old patterns and create space for love, trust, and connection.

Have you ever felt like your words don’t fully capture what’s in your heart? Or that your emotions are too big, too messy, too raw to be shared? In this episode of Living Through Heart, Donna Joy Usher explores what it truly means to speak from the heart—not just as a concept, but as a lived practice that can transform the way we connect with ourselves and others.

Speaking from the heart isn’t just about being honest—it’s about deep self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and allowing ourselves to be fully seen. But most of us have been conditioned to filter, suppress, or manipulate our words out of fear of judgment, rejection, or conflict. In this episode, Donna unpacks how embracing the power of emotional expression and deep listening can change the way we communicate and create more authentic relationships.

Join Donna as she dives into:
✔️ The four core emotions—joy, anger, sadness, and fear—and why all feelings stem from these primary states.
✔️ Why emotions are simply energy in motion, carrying valuable insights rather than something to be suppressed.
✔️ The societal conditioning that teaches us to filter and suppress our feelings—and how to break free from it.
✔️ How speaking from the heart is an act of courage, vulnerability, and radical responsibility.
✔️ The importance of listening from the heart—holding space without judgment or the need to fix.
✔️ What happens when we own our feelings rather than blame others for them.
✔️ How learning to honor your truth transforms relationships, heals wounds, and builds self-trust.

This episode is an invitation to step into your most honest, raw, and authentic self—to show up as you truly are, without the need to control how others perceive you.

Tune in now and learn how to free yourself from the fear of speaking your truth and instead, fully embody the power of your voice.
