“Fear and love are typically at the root of our emotions and interactions. We can check in with ourselves to see which one is guiding our moments.” —Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

An odd epiphany occurred today. I realized that sometimes what we see as problems in the short term are actually creating long-term solutions.

Maybe today it’s the worst moment ever, but we have a bigger dream down the road that this horrible moment is actually helping us actualize. From people we meet in low times, to the character we develop. It can be the stories we gain or the testimonies.
There’s so much more going on than we are aware of. But we can train ourselves to begin to look for the blessings in the bullsh*t.

This month has been all about taking it easy—hence the theme for my August 2024 podcast series.
Today, I decided to #takeiteasy on myself, by letting it be okay that I made a mistake. I acknowledged I got hurt and that it’s not my fault. And decided to offer myself compassion for the experience, rather than criticism.

I think that one of the challenges of being on the duped end of a relationship is that we often blame ourselves. However, blame should go to the person who intentionally acted against our best interests.
If someone hurts us, misuses us, or engages with us selfishly, we don’t need to add self blame on top of that pain. We need to offer ourselves love and compassion.
We don’t need to beat ourselves up and feel like fool, or call ourselves “stupid.” We don’t need to go through life carrying that heavy weight of embarrassment and shame.
We get to see ourselves as we were in that moment—with the information we had and acknowledged in that moment—and know that we did our best IN THAT MOMENT… even if the outcome wasn’t for our best.
On today’s podcast, I began to heal, and acknowledge past experiences where I brought, and offered, the best of me to the wrong people. For one of the first times, I acknowledged what happened and did not blame myself for the hurt they caused.
I met myself with compassion and acknowledged that all I did was be myself, and being loving and kind is not wrong.
If you carry pain and hurt over an outcome that you did not intentionally cause, maybe it’s time to begin to forgive yourself.
It may be a process. You may need support, like a therapist or coach, to do it. But carrying that weight of embarrassment, shame, guilt, etc. will make life really heavy for you. And, far too often, the ones carrying all that heaviness are those who were victimized, mistreated, and misused.
Let’s begin to love ourselves, forgive ourselves, and have compassion toward ourselves. And let’s choose relationships that we can walk into with our eyes wide open… ones where we don’t have to ignore what’s before us to make them work… ones that don’t knock us down, but build us up.
Check out today’s podcast episode. It’s a fun and vulnerable one.

Now this episode is more storytelling than usual, but I believe there are some lessons you can gain about letting go of unhealthy relationships.

Like I’ve said before, Dr. Maya Angelou said we should believe them the first time when they show us who they are. And I, honestly, am not there. I tend to hope the first one is a fluke, so I give them another opportunity… with observation. I watch them and see what they do, because now I’m on high alert. If it shows up again, then I have decisions to make.
In today’s story, I talk about someone I gave one too many chances to and they showed me not to doubt what I saw that first time. The story is relatable and entertaining and I threw in a bonus episode for the plot. lol (When you listen, you’ll understand.)
