Dr. DaeEss Drea Pennington Wasio discusses the importance of self-love, personal sovereignty, and living an empowered life. She introduces her Cornerstone Process; an introspective and holistic framework she has used to help clients, patients, students, and herself, take control of their lives, and transition from a victim to heroic mentality. DaeEss believes that true healing is not just about removing pain; it's about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, abandoned, or trampled on. DaeEss urges people to take control of their narratives, and recognize the power and potential that exists within themselves.
● Sovereignty is not ruling over people, it's making your own personal decisions based on your values and your desires instead of out of obligation or codependency.
● The five steps of the Cornerstone Process are Awareness, Acceptance, Accountability, Inspired Action, and Appreciation.
● Inspired action can lead to new possibilities and growth.
● Her book, The Real Self-Love Handbook, emphasizes the importance of self-love and healing.
