I've always felt like in a relationship, I'm the messed up one, or I'm bringing the issues,

or I have all this trauma, or I'm damaged goods. And I had this moment where I realized that so is

he, because we all have issues. Happy Monday, everyone. It's Sophie. And Adi. We're always looking

So the topic for today that I wanted to discuss is confrontation, particularly with people that we're close with, not confrontation, like, with a

stranger or like someone at a grocery store who like cuts you in line. I don't really mean that.

I mean having in deep partnership, whether that's friendship or with a relative, a partner, a caregiver, anything, those deep relationships that we have

are really revealing. And every relationship that we have is a mirror, which means that those are

the hardest relationships because it's like you're staring at a mirror and you're looking at

all the good and all the bad. And when we're in relationship to anyone,

it's going to bring up our stuff and it's going to bring up their stuff. And sometimes that

clashes and that creates problems and confrontation. And I'll just share a bit about

my story with that is I've always really struggled with having a voice and that's

kind of manifested in a lot of ways. I think, you know, being a woman, especially in the

society we live in, we're taught to just like sit pretty and not complain and just be easy

and not ruffle feathers and also being a ballet dancer that really reinforced that kind of like be seen and not heard mentality.
