in the spirit of reclaiming wholeness, I felt like it was so incredibly important to reveal

the most toxic parts of myself.

And we know, right, as humans, we show up as our most toxic selves when we are in a really, really close relationship.

What's up, guys, and welcome back to skinny dipping.

I am your podcast host, Kayla Rose.

And I cannot wait to talk about this topic today

because it is incredibly real and vulnerable for me because communication, healthy communication,

is not taught. And therefore, it's kind of up to us to educate ourselves on what it looks like to have healthy relationships

and how can we learn how to communicate in a healthier way. How can we call ourselves out for the

most toxic parts of ourselves and allow those parts to begin to heal? So if you are new here,

we're in this current season of reclaiming

wholeness, which is where we learn how to fully dance with our shadows and move through

acceptance with all parts of ourselves. But that doesn't mean that we are not determined to

change and shift the behaviors that are no longer serving us.

Because that wouldn't be cool of us, you know, to just be like, I'm perfect.

I don't have to change for anybody.

And the truth is we all come with our own sets of emotional baggage.

And with that being said, the energy of reclaiming wholeness is

realizing you don't have to shame yourself for that baggage, right? You don't have to shame

yourself for the things that you are unlearning and relearning. But it is up to us for the

betterment of the world, the betterment of our close relationships,

and the betterment of ourselves.
