Summary

What happens when you're the problem? Forgiving yourself when you've made a mistake can be challenging. We all go through periods of time in our live where we're bound to make mistakes, but those mistakes can turn into valuable learning lessons. In this episode, I give various examples of how we can f*ck up and how it can be helpful to just own up to those mistakes and be honest with who you are. Don't beat yourself up too much, you're still human.

0:00.0	Today, I want to talk about when you're the problem, when you're the insecure, crazy,
0:06.0	needy, psychopath person in the relationship or in a friendship, and you're having one of those
0:13.0	errors where you're feeling really low and insecure about yourself. Maybe you have low self-esteem,
0:18.2	you just feel like you're not yourself, you're not in your element, and you're just having
0:21.6	a couple bad months or a bad year or bad two years, and you just don't feel like you're really
0:28.2	comfortable in your skin and you're acting really fucking crazy to the people around you,
0:33.8	and people start to give up on you because you feel like you're acting out of character,
0:40.7	you're acting out of line, and you're doing things really that you normally wouldn't do,

0:50.5	and usually when you're shifting and going through these transformative moments,
0:55.6	it often leads to something really powerful, and you actually grow a lot from it, but in the
0:59.6	midst of it, it could feel like you're losing your mind, and I've been through a couple of these
1:04.8	errors in my lifetime. I went through this era in 2020 through 2022, where I was going through a
1:10.8	massive shift in my life with my identity, who I was as a person, and just changing so many things,
1:17.6	a lot of crazy shit happened to me, and my mom was sick, I lost my job because of COVID,
1:25.8	I wasn't able to travel because of COVID, and I was a travel blogger, so that made me super
1:30.7	depressed, I fell into a funk, I went through two bad breakups, I got scammed out of $50,000,
1:38.9	which maybe I'll talk about publicly on another episode, save that for another time, but there was
1:44.7	just a lot of chaotic shit happening in my life, and I feel like my identity fell apart, and I was
1:49.9	crumbling, and I was moody and irritable, and not myself, to pretty much everyone in my life,
1:56.2	so it was a really rough time, and a rocky period of my life, where I didn't know who I was,
