At the time of this recording, Tuesday, April 21, 2026: Today is my 55th birthday… and instead of fearing age or looking back with regret, I’m choosing to use the day.In this solo episode, I reflect on a lifelong pattern I didn’t even realize I was building—choosing love over fear and judgment, one moment at a time. It didn't happen overnight. In fact, it happened because of and through a lot of pain, darkness, and shame.From childhood experiences… to years of living from the ego and trying to prove my worth… to recovery, healing, and rediscovering the truth of who I am—this episode is an invitation.An invitation to reflect on how you view your birthday.Do you avoid it… or do you use it to grow?In this episode, you'll hear powerful insights on:- The difference between love (heart) and fear (mind)- How shame-based beliefs are formed—and how to break free- Why separating your true self from your past choices is life-changing- Seeing others beyond their wounds and behaviors- And why this matters now more than ever in a world where many youth feel safer turning to AI than to other humans, including reports of vulnerable youth being influenced toward self-harm—highlighting the urgent need for us to become safer, more compassionate spaces for one another. My birthday wish is simple:More acts of love. For yourself. For others. For the world.So today, I ask you—just for today—Can you choose love?If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love and help spread this message.With infinite love always, Nadia NEWSLETTER: Subject: My 55th Birthday Wish Today is my 55th birthday.And instead of letting it pass by quietly… or looking at it through fear, regret, or “where did the time go?”…I’m choosing to use the day.To reflect.To grow.To rise from shame…and choose love.When I look back over my life, I can see a pattern I didn’t even realize I was creating…Choosing love over fear. Over judgment. Over shame.Not perfectly. But consistently enough to change the trajectory of my life.In today’s solo episode of Rising From Shame [INSERT EP LINK HERE] as well as Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption [INSERT LINK TO PURCHASE HERE]. I open up about that journey—From childhood experiences that planted seeds of shame…To years of proving and performing…To recovery, healing, and coming back home to the truth:That we are not our mistakes.We are not the voice in our head that tells us we’re not enough.We are something far deeper—whole, divine, and complete.And now, more than ever, this matters.We’re living in a time where many young people feel safer opening up to AI than to another human being…And there are even concerning reports of AI being used in harmful ways, influencing vulnerable youth toward self-harm instead of guiding them to real support.That’s not just about technology.It’s an invitation for us.To become safer spaces.To listen more.To judge less.To meet each other with love instead of fear.So this is my birthday wish:More love.Love for yourself—maybe that looks like forgiveness, rest, or a kinder inner voice.Love for others—through patience, presence, and understanding. Just for today… can you choose love? Yes, indeed you can! If this message speaks to you, I’d be so grateful if you shared the episode with someone in your life.Let’s rise together.With love,NADIA ;) FREE BAN SHAME TIP SHEET EMPOWER YOUR RECOVERY YOGA (FREE for Parents in Recovery) GIVE BACK FOLLOW Learn more about your ad choices.
