Imagine your life being full of peace, love, joy and health. This does not have to be just a dream or wish. We can make it a reality in a very short time.
Welcome friends to my Podcast, Giving You a Fresh Start After Trauma. I’m happy that you are here and desire to help you become true to yourself. Let’s get started.
“I’d Prefer to Read Your Message!”
Recently, I saw a video about Bronnie Ware who is a caregiver in Australia. Her focus is on Hospice patients as they are ending their life here on earth. She said that as these individuals are approaching the end of their life, she asks them a number of questions. The one question that was asked and answered the same 100% of the time was …
In your life what would you do differently?
100% of the time the answer was …
“I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself.
Not the life other people expected of me.”
Wow isn’t that interesting. All of her patients responded the same with that question. What would they do differently in their life if they could do it over again?
How sad to reach the end of your life and have the regret that you didn’t live your life true to yourself. I bet many people who also have gone through a divorce can say the same thing. They were living with their spouse not being who they were but who they felt their spouse or others wanted them to be.
(Hey friends, sorry for this quick interruption. I want to remind you of an offer that can turn around things in your life. If you are waking up in the middle of the night feeling a terror in your chest because your finances are in a crisis, then I just might have the answer for you. There is hope.

Back to my Message!
Things are so twisted these days. Just look at what has been happening these past 10 years or so. (It’s probably been longer, but it seems more prevalent now).
- You support this President and you are abandoned or criticized.
- You didn’t support the covid propaganda, and your family abandoned you and didn’t allow you to come to family events.
- You have a spiritual belief and that’s not acceptable to them.
- You believe in natural healing modalities and people walk away from you.
This list could go on. These are just a few examples. Can you think of a few more?
If we don’t think, act, behave like those around us we can potentially be rejected. Being rejected can be painful especially if you are not firmly anchored in who you are.
I remember when I was young!
When I was young, I hated rock and roll music. Absolutely, disliked it. The music I preferred was Lawrence Welk type of music or classic music. Probably because my nervous system was in overload and rock and roll music just agitated it.
But my friends loved rock and roll and if I didn’t want to be made fun of, I had to go along with it. One day I was with this group of friends I hung out with in my early 20s. They were all about 5 years older than me and many times would make fun of me. (It’s sad I stayed so long in relationship with them). But one day a song was being played, and they asked me who the band was. I frankly had no idea, so I guessed. Sadly, I was wrong and they proceeded to be entertained making fun of me.
It wasn’t until my divorce that I decided I was going to start looking at who I was, what I liked and didn’t like and who God created me to be. People left me and as sad as it is, I’m ok with it because I’m living with no regrets. I am who I am.
How about you?
Will you be that person at the end of your life with that regret? I pray not. It’s never too late to take a dive into looking at who you are, what you like or dislike and why God created you.
Is this easy to do? It is a simple task to make that discovery, but it can be hard to implement especially if you have wounds in your heart that are unhealed.
Here is a list of things I would do to be sure I do not have this regret at the end of my life.
- Take an inventory of the things you are doing right now.
- Look over this list and determine if these are things you really enjoy doing or are you doing them to be accepted?
- Choose one thing from that list that you are doing that you do not enjoy doing and let it go. Decide on one that would be easy to give up. If it involves someone else, develop the courage to tell them you are no longer participating in this activity. You don’t necessarily have to give a reason why, but if you feel you need to, tell the truth.
- Little by little give up those things you do or try to be that are really not being true to yourself AND replace them with what being true to yourself would look like. It might take some time to determine who you are. That’s ok. Don’t beat yourself up. You probably lived for so long being someone else and it might take some time. Be patient with yourself.
- If you find that this process is hard to do and accomplish on your own, then my coaching program will help you get to that place. Here is a link to my coaching program. https://reginasanchez.com
Don’t live in this place any longer!
So, friend, don’t continue to live in regret of not living true to yourself. You owe it to yourself and even those around you. You are special as God created you to be. Let’s go find the real you.
