Summary

This interview feels like a big hug. We sit down with Meghan Watson, a psychotherapist, writer, consultant & content creator, to talk about understanding emotions and giving ourselves compassion.

We cover the steps of what building emotional awareness looks like, the topic of resentment - how it can be an emotional burden, and Meghan gives us prompts on how we can move past resentment even if we feel like the other player isn’t willing to make a change. We dive into how we can start to build self-trust and the role that social media plays on our ability to trust ourselves.

This episode is both thought provoking and healing all at the same time. We would love it if you shared it in your Instagram stories tagging both @thrive_withmeg and @herselfpodcast.

0:00.0	Because ultimately self-trust is about taking a path in a journey for yourself and believing
0:10.6	that you know that you can take a step forward even when that step forward isn't illuminated
0:18.9	perfectly or you don't know what's on the other side of a difficult and a stressful situation.
0:31.0	I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others but
0:39.0	your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means standing firm in your
0:44.3	decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an

1:58.4	it which you are the perfect guest to really begin this conversation with talking about these things.
2:03.1	And what I really liked about your feet is that you say that people can read all the books,
2:07.3	they can listen to all the podcast for emotional growth and self-development but then we have to
2:12.8	start with actual emotional awareness to get anywhere. So let's start off what is emotional awareness
