S13e8: Lecia King – It’s Okay to Be Happy
“It is possible to change. You don’t have to repeat all of those patterns. …You’re going to be happy, and it’s okay to be happy.” – Lecia King
During the Hoffman Process, therapist Lecia King found herself feeling settled, and learning that this ‘settledness’ is a quality of being of her Spiritual Self. Through the power of the Process, Lecia began to transform the pain of her past into a deep-seated connection to who she really is.
Years later, now both a seasoned therapist and Hoffman Process teacher, this settledness is omnipresent in Lecia’s life as she lives more and more from her Spiritual Self. You’ll feel and hear it in this conversation with host Sadie. You’ll also sense a quiet joy in Lecia.
Challenge and change run through Lecia’s life story. She experienced a “very chaotic upbringing.” She realized early on that she would have to create a stable life for herself as an adult. Lecia grieved for the child within her that never knew stability. And her adult self has done just that: created a stable life. In her twenties, Lecia bought her first home, determined never to be uprooted from home again. She did healing work around her eating disorders and past family dysfunction. She found healing in a women’s nature circle where she spent time fasting and in nature.
Lecia’s life story reflects a quiet persistence as she moved into adulthood and motherhood, and now moves into an empty nest filled with joy. It is inspirational to witness someone who has met life’s challenges and, through them, come to know and love herself. In teaching the Hoffman Process, Lecia now holds space for others to transform and create lasting change in their lives. In sharing her story here, Lecia offers us an existential possibility of hope and joy. We can transform the pain of our past into a life lived as who we really are. We get to be happy.
We hope you savor this inspiring conversation with Lecia and Sadie.
