Hello, welcome to or welcome back to trying not to care.

Happy Monday or happy whatever the fric day it is when you listen to this.

Today is a topic that I have been doing to talk about.

I am excited to talk about this because it's something that I think is so important that all women talk about within our groups.

I think that it's important in uplifting women and looking after ourselves.

So today I want to talk about decentering men and how to not make a man the center of your world.

I feel like I'm very qualified to talk about this because I, unfortunately, was the epitome of a pick me, choose me, love me, girl.

I was so male-centered growing up.

I wanted nothing more than to be chosen by just the worst

kinds of boys. And I can say that out loud and I can laugh about it and I can poke fun at

myself because I have transformed myself completely and I've gone from centering men to

centering myself. I've gone from making men my entire world to now

making myself the focal point. Like, why wouldn't I, right? I am the love of my life. I am the most

important person in my life. I should be the center of my world. We're going to talk about what decentering men looks like,

signs that you've been centering men without even knowing it, and how to reclaim your power

and choose yourself. I think it's first important to kind of give you my backstory and where my

mind was at, where I was at when I was centering

these boys and I was making these boys the most important thing in my life.

Obviously, growing up, I had crushes and I liked boys, but it didn't get as intense as it

eventually did until I got into high school and I started dating a senior. You know how it goes.

I think the reason it became so intense for me was because, one, it was very fast-paced. I met him and I

immediately liked him. But also with me being a freshman and him being a senior, I felt like I won something.
