    Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚
    Life has a way of throwing challenges at us. And sometimes those challenges leave us feeling lost, broken or overwhelmed. Whether it's trauma from the past or just the weight of everything we’re carrying, there are moments when we feel like we should handle it all alone. Society often teaches us that independence equals strength, but the truth is, the hardest battles are not meant to be fought in silence. Many of us struggle with this, believing we have to fix ourselves, hiding the pain behind a brave face. But healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s in those vulnerable moments, when we share our burdens with others, that true transformation begins.
    This journey is about self-compassion, realising that you are worthy of help. It's about understanding that leaning on others isn’t a sign of weakness, but of incredible strength. When life gets tough, it's okay to not have all the answers, and it's more than okay to ask for a hand to hold along the way. And in embracing our own story, no matter how difficult the past may have been, we can rewrite our future with resilience, grace, and the unshakable belief that brighter days are always within reach.
    Featuring Elizabeth Softky.
    Filmed in Redwood City, California, USA.

    Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
    In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy. If you’d like to consider purchasing your copy, shop here - tgc.link/refle...
    You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period - www.inous.org/...

    I am so sorry for the pain and suffering Elizabeth had to endure, especially as a child. I can tell by her demeanor how sensitive and loving she is and therefore how much harder it had to be for her to have this life experience. She now exudes love and peace and kindness. I felt like I was listening to and spending time with a cherished friend. I wish her all the beauty and goodness this life has to offer as she truly deserves it. Sending love. 💗

    I had a house with two parents who loved each other. I was loved, but not respected. I am autistic. High, high functioning. I am also dyslexic. So my mother called me her "burden" from God. She and my father said I would never be able to live on my own. They made sure all my siblings knew this. That one of them would have to take care of me. I went to trade school, did quite well. Got a job and moved out and lived on my own. They tried to stop me. Tried to keep me a burden. Now I am trying to do a spiritual awakening. Tying to forgive them and my siblings, and love myself because if they didn't think I was worth much, then I thought I must not be. I hated myself.Now I have forgiven them and love myself. Here is how, I pictured my sister as an infant curled in the fetal position, my mother had hurt her too. And I said I have lived many lives, and I have been like them before. How can I hate them, they are me. A piece dropped into place in my hart. The feeling of love was incredible. It still is. I love you all. Side affect.

    This video speaks to me so much. We are so conditioned to look for validation outside of ourselves, to base our self worth upon what others think of us and do to us. The thought of finding validation and self worth within ourselves is so foreign. The struggle to love yourself is challenging but not impossible. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your story. I'm glad your father helped you when you needed him the most. I can only imagine how that must of felt when your mom left. My mom left too after a very violent fight that I witnessed at a very young age except she took me with her. It's taken years of therapy (probably could use more) to be sort of ok with myself. Listening to you felt like a good friend sharing her story so I can take even more steps to becoming whole. Truly wish I could just sit w/you & be on that beautiful beach. May you have nothing but love & joy in your life.

    This warmed my heart. I’ve been slowly learning, my self-worth is my existence, it’s just letting go of the beliefs of unworthiness and incompetence and rejection that were given from others, knowing in my heart those beliefs that weren’t mine to begin with when I came into this world and to have forgiveness for myself for not knowing and having the lack of clarity because I didn’t know any better back then and the tools weren’t available in my environment. It wasn’t something in my control at the time.

    Beautiful. I got so emotional watching this because it felt like she was talking about me. I really sensed as she was talking that she was mastering the Capricorn/Cancer polarity in astrology. Her lesson is one of the most important lessons for SO people in the world- there are so many who do not love themselves and who strive for acceptance through achievement or over supporting others. ❤

    There’s wisdom when she said it’s a choice. Even if the external doesn’t change, you can chose in every moment and day how to relate to that external experience. Learned that the hard way.

    20 OCTOBER 2024-I learned early on that asking for help invites judgment, not empathy. People don’t just help you-they remind you of how much you need them. It becomes this power dynamic, and I can’t stand that.
    So, I’d rather stand alone, even when it’s hard, than feel like I owe someone for my survival.

    Thank you once again for a thought provoking film. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your story and reminding me that sometimes we all need help and it takes great courage to accept it, rather than being the one who helps. I realised that wearing the mask and denying my current pain is not sustainable if I want to live every day as fully as I can. I need to accept life as it is now, not as it was and I wish to return to, that is not possible when loved ones have died. Thank you.

    Most of the time, asking for help itself is very much triggering. For people will kill (by their callousness) the very last bit of self-esteem one's for oneself. Better to walk alone towards that light. Slowly. Gradually. In the meantime, all these words of love/strength/hope do really help one keep going!!! Thanks, Elizabeth and sending you much love!
    A special thanks to Justine & Michael (N to their team)! For I've not seen a single channel who really responses to the comments, every single one! That itself shows how much you respect/honour others!! Makes one really seen/heard! Love. Hugs.
