Limitless Podcast with Deanna Herrin

This is the episode I wish I had a decade ago.

I’m not sharing a strategy. I’m not handing you a mindset hack.
I’m sharing the soul-level work that helped me break through emotional patterns I didn’t even know were running the show.

In this episode, I open up about the healing that changed everything—from my relationship with my mom, to walking away from toxicity, to rewriting the story I had around love, worthiness, and connection.

If you’ve ever felt like you were performing, pleasing, or pretending your way through life just to feel safe or accepted…
If love has felt like walking on eggshells…
If you’ve stayed in relationships that left you unseen, unheard, or undervalued…

This is for you.

You deserve to feel free in your life, your relationships, and your heart.

You are listening to the
limitless podcast. I'm your

host. Deanna Herron, what if you
had no limitations keeping you

from your dream life in 2016 I
had a major tug on my heart to

write a book about my story, and
in the process, I learned that I

had been operating with a very
faulty belief system for the

majority of my life. I've had a
huge transformation since then,

and my life's passion and
mission is to teach you how to

live a limitless life. Join me
on this journey. Let's get

started.

Welcome back to the limitless
podcast. Today's episode is one

I wish someone had given me a
decade ago. It's real, it's raw,

and it's rooted in something
deeper than strategy or mindset.

This is about soul work. This is
actually for the woman who's

tired of performing, pleasing
and pretending. This is for the

one who knows she was born for
more but keeps hitting the same

emotional walls. Let's talk
about the subconscious truths

that shape your relationships,
your sense of worth, and the way

that you are showing up in this
world. So like I said, I wish I

would have known this a decade
ago. Obviously, we're all on our

own healing journey, but I want
you to know that healing is not

a luxury. Healing is not
something that you do because

you have a diagnosis. Healing is
not something that you do

because you feel depressed.
Healing is actually returning to

your truth. It took me healing
my relationship with my mother,

that which was the first
relationship that I recognized

that I was not free. And I've
said multiple times that life

will present itself with people,
places and circumstance that

show us areas of our life where
we are not free, and I was not

free in my relationship with my
mother. We had a lot of

different trials. We had a lot
of diff I had a lot of

disappointments. I had a lot of
rubs with my mother, and then

the second relationship that I
healed is walking away from a

very toxic relationship in my
life, and it also took me

rebuilding and healing my
marriage. And now I'm giving you

what took me years, years of
heartbreak, and I want to teach

you that So on today's podcast,
what we're going to do is I'm

actually going to give you some
tips of things to look for in

your life when it comes to
relationships, and if you are

not driving, I would recommend
that you grab a piece of paper

and a pen and let's write these
things down and look at them and

say, Okay, this is an area where
I am not free, and I really need

to take a look at this. So
number one, a person who avoids

feeling their own pain will
always try and dismiss yours.

This is what I've experienced in
the relationships that I needed

to heal. Have you ever opened
your heart to someone only to

feel shut down and minimized?
It's not you, my friend. It's

actually not you. It's their
most emotional disconnection,

people who have not faced their
own shadows. And shadows are the

work that we need to do the
traumas that we need to heal,

the belief systems that we're
carrying around with us, those

people will always try to dim
your light, not because they

don't love you. It's because
your depth your possibilities,

exposes their numbness, and it
also exposes areas where they

are not free. This was me with
my mom, and her silence used to

wound me until I realized it was
just her armor, and once, I

stopped taking it personally and
recognizing and Truly this was a

high level thought process for
me, truly realizing, yes, she

did The best with what she
received, and she didn't have

the tools to actually do the
work. She didn't have the tools,

and so I stopped taking it
personally and realized it was

just her armor. If you're in a
relationship where deep love

feels unsafe, ask Who taught you
that love equals abandonment?

Where did you experience that
love meant abandonment? This was

my relationship with my mother
and my relationship with my

father. I felt abandoned by most
both of them. My mother was

emotional abandonment. My father
was physical abandonment. And so

I'm going to tell you that this
probably did not start with your

high school boyfriend that
dropped you for another girl. It

probably didn't start there.
This started when the people

that you trusted the most didn't
see you, hear you or stay Does

that ring a bell for you? If
love has always felt like

walking on eggshells or waiting
for the other shoe to drop,

that's not love, that's actually
trauma, and it's time to

separate the two. This is an
area that needs to be healed. If

you're constantly walking on
eggshells because you're afraid

that your partner is going to
abandon you, or you're afraid

that your friendship is going to
fail, or you're afraid that your

business is not going to do
well.

Whatever that is. This is
something telling you it's time

to heal. This number three, if
you crave validation from

emotionally unavailable people,
oh, oh, I can feel that in my

body. Wait just a minute. I can
feel that in my body. And I

laugh at it, because on the
other side of the healing, there

is so much freedom. I actually
attracted so many people into my

life that were emotionally
unavailable, and it was because

my nervous system still believed
that love had to be earned, and

this is a survival mechanism
when we believe that we have to

have that validation, and we
continue to look for that

validation for people who are
not emotionally capable of

giving that to us. And I want
you to know that you know that

you know that you were not meant
to hustle for love. You are

meant to receive it, my friend.
And let me say that clearly you

don't have to perform to be
chosen. Does that hit home?

Definitely was my MO I needed to
perform to be chosen. And there

came a point in my life where
I'm like, You know what? I'm no

longer performing. I'm no longer
going to follow the rules that

you are telling me that I need
to follow in order to be

accepted. I'm out. I'm out,
regardless of the consequences,

I am no longer performing to be
chosen. I choose me was the most

powerful thing I've ever done in
my life. You don't have to be

perfect to be loved. You get to
rewire the part of you that

learned otherwise. Number four,
if they never ask you deeper

questions, they're not trying to
see you. They're not trying to

see you. They're just waiting
for their turn to perform. We

live in a world full of this
performative connection, but

real intimacy requires
curiosity. Intimacy requires

curiosity. Let me give you a tip
here, when I'm having a

conversation and I'm meeting new
people, or if I'm having a

conversation with a friend or a
partner or a child, or whoever

it is, relationship is both
giving and receiving, and there

have been so many times where I
am on the giving end of the

spectrum. I'm constantly asking
people about themselves because

I'm curious. And you know what
someone is about when they never

ask you the same they're not
capable. They're just not

capable. So you need to ask
yourself, if I'm the one that's

continuing to give in this
relationship and not receiving,

is this worth my energy? Is it
worth my time? Because someone

who values you won't let the
conversation stay surface.

They'll want to know what breaks
your heart and What lights your

soul on fire. Those are my
people. Those are truly my

people. I am not available for
surface level conversations, for

deep intimacy. I'm available for
those who want to know what

breaks my heart and to really
understand what lights me up.

Number five, if you're asking
for what you need, feels like

too much for you. That is
actually your little girl, the

inner child within you, who's
still terrified of being

abandoned, for having needs, for
having needs. This shows up as

I'm fine. I've talked about this
before when you're actually not

this shows up as over giving, as
swallowing your truth, not

speaking your words. But it's
not too much, you're not too

much. Let's heal the part of you
that learned that love equals

sacrificing yourself,
sacrificing your needs, not

using your voice, being afraid
to speak up, number six time

won't heal what your
subconscious can continues to

loop. I want you to understand
this. We will continue to

attract the same people, the
same circumstances, the same

relationships, because our
subconscious mind has not been

healed. It's a continuous loop.
Why am I always attracting these

people that make me feel, quote,
this way? Why am I always in a

relationship where I am the one
constantly giving it's the

subconscious loop. It's your
subconscious laying this out,

attracting the people in your
life, until you actually heal

that subconscious story.
Fascinating, so fascinating, I

want you to think about how many
years have passed, and it still

freaking hurts. How many years
that's because the subconscious

doesn't run on clocks. It runs
on stories, so time does not

heal. My friend, what heals is
dealing with the stories,

dealing with the stories, and if
you haven't updated the story,

if your nervous system is still
living in the moment you were

hurt. It keeps going. It keeps
repeating. And I'm going to tell

you the number of times you
voice it out loud and you talk

about that situation to other
people, all it does is re

energize the emotion. It re
energizes it, and so talking

about it.

But over and over and over keeps
it active in your body. You

actually have to release the
story so that it'll stop

repeating, and that is
reprogramming. Reprogramming

isn't trendy. It's actually
necessary. So we have to go

deeper. Don't wait. Time does
not heal the stories. Number

seven, your nervous system will
always whisper the truth first,

if you're listening before your
mind actually rationalizes or

talks you out of your knowing
your body actually knows, the

racing heart, the dry mouth, the
gut tension, the inability to

process your foods in the right
way, those are actually your

guides. Your body is telling you
something. Listen, trust it.

They're not being dramatic. Your
body's being honest with you.

Your body's being honest, you
know. And I actually learned to

listen to my body and feel into
a situation. My body's always

right. When I feel tension in my
midsection, this situation is

not right for me, when my heart
starts to hurt, the situation is

not right for me, this is a hell
no. And so listen to your body

number eight. You get to rewrite
your story as many times as it

takes, not just once, not just
when it's convenient. You get to

start over every single time you
realize the life you're living

no longer reflects who you truly
are. I can't tell you how

invaluable that is what I just
said. I want you to understand

that when the life you're living
no longer reflects who you truly

are, you get to rewrite your
story. You were born into power.

God says you are limitless.
There are limitless

possibilities for you in this
world, you are born into power.

Unfortunately, we were also born
into limitation. Some of those

limitations were passed on from
our ancestors, and we carry

those and we're here to heal
them. Have you heard of the

ancestral healing that's exactly
what you're doing. Those

patterns that have been on
repeat are in your DNA, and

you're the one that's here to
heal them. You are the One God

gave you the power. It's called
your divinity, and the divinity

is the ability for you to
transcend your limitations, but

you don't recognize it, because
you've never been taught any of

this. But you were born into
power, but somewhere along the

way, you were taught to forget
it, to trade your intuition for

approval, your softness for
survival, your truth for someone

else's comfort. But here's the
truth. You were created to come

back to power by uncovering the
truth of who you are, powerful,

limitless, absolutely limitless,
free of the constraints that

hold you back and that truth, my
friend, is not the outer world.

It lives in your subconscious,
and you hold the key to rewire

it. You hold the key healing
doesn't just change your life,

it changes your legacy that is
my soul's work is to bring you

back to the divinity of who you
are and help you transcend those

limitations that do not belong
to you, that were handed down to

you, and some that you have
accumulated in this lifetime.

That is my soul's purpose. Until
next time, remember you are

seeing you are powerful, and
your story is still being

written. I love you. God bless
you. See you next week. I'm

honored to have you as part of
