| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Liu and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions where we break the patterns that break our hearts, relationships and bodies. |
| 0:09.0 | Since 2005, I've run one of the longest running self-help blogs in the world, BaggageReclame.com. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm a boundaries and relationship coach and the author of five books including Mr. Unavailable and the |
| 0:21.5 | fallback girl and the joy of saying no. I help you reclaim yourself from emotional baggage by |
| 0:28.1 | letting go of emotional unavailability, people pleasing and unhealthy relationships so you can live |
| 0:34.1 | in love with more love, care, trust and respect. |
| 0:45.1 | Hello, hello, hello. How are you doing? Today we're going to get into resentment, |
| 0:50.1 | that simmering feeling that shows up when you said yes from a place of guilt and obligation that inevitably leads to your ignoring, dismissing, and overriding yourself in some way, |

| 1:43.0 | And because this topic is so central to boundaries, |
| 1:46.5 | which is like a whole thing, I'm going to tell you about something I've been working on that I'm |
| 1:50.9 | really excited about. But first, let's talk about why resentment can feel so terrible, and yet |
| 1:56.6 | so many of us are swimming in it. So, picture this a while back, I was pissed off with a |
| 2:06.6 | loved one. I remember getting up the following day and I was fium, like, fehuman. And I realized it |
