Corina Sowada is an empowerment coach who is on a mission to help women find themselves (and love!) again after a toxic relationship. Through her work, Corina helps women dive into identifying toxicity, narcissism and abuse, all to break the cycle. She helps you identify and break trauma bonds and heal from a toxic relationship.

A large part of Corina’s work is helping women receive and step into their feminine energy and power, and learning to love the woman that you see reflected back at you in the mirror. And as Corina shares in this week’s new episode, in order to help other women do this work, Corina had to do it for herself first.

Corina so beautifully shares her journey in this week’s episode, moving from an on and off again toxic relationship for for years, to ultimately choosing herself and her self-worth. In many ways Corina lost herself during that time. She lost her voice, her passion, and optimism. She no longer recognized the woman she saw in the mirror.

Then one day something clicked, and she made the decision to end the relationship. She started to prioritize her health and wellness, and she learned to love her body again. Her mindset began to shift too, and through setting boundaries she started to become Corina again. Corina’s reflections will remind you that we are all capable of choosing the life we deserve, but we first have to get really clear on who we are, and what it is that we want. Through this journey Corina learned to reprogram her subconscious thoughts and beliefs around men, dating, her self-worth, and she learned to lean on her intuition. Today, Corina loves and accepts herself fully, and she has leaned on her own experiences to help women break free from toxic relationships in their lives and step into their worth too, the same way that she has.

“You are in control of your life. The people that hurt you are no longer in control, and they were meant to come into your life for a reason. I believe that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you and there’s a lesson in every relationship. I had to take a look at every single relationship that I had and figure out what I had to learn from this. That healed so much within me, and when I started to do what lights me up and follow my joy, I started to become more me.”
