112. Petra Zaleski - The Transformational Power of Love Within Our Pain

SEP 7, 202554 MIN

Description

<p>Petra Zaleski is a chaplain at Auckland University, which we talk about a little in the kōrero. However, the main focus is on her own story of finding transformational love in the midst of pain. Complex PTSD leading to substance abuse threatened to ruin Petra&#39;s life but, instead, she found how powerful love is and began a journey towards wholeness. Her journey has filled her with compassion and shapes how she lives out her life as a priest. </p><p>Content warning, we talk about substance abuse in the episode, and the subject of suicide comes up in passing, so look after yourself and take a break if you need to. </p><p>___</p><p>Connect with me at <a href="https://www.downtoearthconversations.com/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠downtoearthconversations.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> or at:</p><p>Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/downtoearth.conversations">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/downtoearth.conversations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/downtoearth.conversations/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@downtoearth.conversations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p> </p><p>Music by Strahan:</p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4x0DaBFhtHy0ol0ia4UJaP?si=4A4zZoABRC6VMWHpp7tIfQ">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strahan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StrahanMusic">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/StrahanMusic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/commonerscommunion">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/commonerscommunion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/strahanmusic/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@strahanmusic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/commoners_communion/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@commoners_communion⁠</a></p>
