This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

Isn't that such a beautiful song?

That song is called Arrow Flies and the band is Paper Plains.

And I thought it was like the perfect song for us today because it's really tying back to that theme of getting clear, you know, straight shot, you know

where you're going.

And I think that's just so in alignment with our theme lately on this podcast about really

getting in tune with yourself and accepting yourself and not just even accepting yourself,

but like making your own feelings

and needs and rights and growth a priority because it's really easy to get knocked off that path.

And I wanted to speak about this today because what's been coming up a lot lately in therapy

sessions and life coaching sessions

in my practice here at Growing Self with my own clients, also in some of the supervision

groups that I've been a part of. It's like people are really struggling between what they

feel is their own truth and their own path and all of these pressures that are

trying to knock them off that path. Some of those pressures are coming from the outside.

You know, it can be tough to say no to others or set healthy boundaries and relationships.

But also there's pressure that comes from the inside of us isn't there, that pressure that

tells us that we should be more or do more or have more or be something else that we're not.

And that can be the hardest thing of all to set boundaries around.

And it's crucial because until you can gain mastery

over that voice in your own mind that's trying to derail you from what's true for you,

it's really hard to do that in other areas of your life. So that's our topic today on the podcast.
