Summary
This week, Barb and Michelle invite you to revisit a past episode with a timely message of managing difficult times and finding peace amid drama.
Barb and Michelle unpack a quote that has been simmering in their minds, “Please let go of the habit of comforting people after they have harmed you” by Liana Naima. It’s easy for many of us to go into people pleasing mode to keep the peace in our relationships, but at what cost? Listen to learn their thoughts!
Episode Notes:
- Give yourself space and allow yourself to sit in the uncomfortable and unfamiliar.
- Remember there is power in the space. You do not always need to be reactive, fix and comfort. Allow yourself that space to determine what is comfortable for you in that situation.
- Remember you are worthy of kind and loving relationships where you don’t have to fix things.
- Have at least one trustworthy person who you can talk to, and who will be unbiased and not judge you. Someone who will just listen.
- Be gentle, loving and caring with yourself while you learning, while you are growing, while you are healing and uncovering what’s underneath.
