This week, we’re continuing the powerful conversation we started in Episode 32 about victim consciousness – and how it shows up in our lives in ways we might not expect.

But this time, we go even deeper.

Dr Peta and Sam explore the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck – from our beliefs about who we are to the stories we tell ourselves (and others) about our pain.

Together, they unpack:

🌿 Why victim, rescuer and perpetrator roles always co-exist – and how we can move beyond this triangle

🌿 The subtle ways women are taught to bond over suffering (and what to do instead)

🌿 How shame, superiority and saviour-complex behaviour keep us disempowered

🌿 Why our language matters (and how to stop casting spells like “I have to…”)

🌿 How our beliefs about our body, our past, and our identity shape our suffering

This episode isn’t about blame or denial – it’s an invitation to start recognising your own patterns and beliefs, and gently shifting them so you can experience more joy, peace, and presence.
