Empowerment | Self-Acceptance | Parenting | Growth
You deserve reciprocity. That’s not too much to ask.
Today, I’m sharing a growth moment as recovering people pleaser. I had been feeling bad for years about an incident where I offended someone by standing up for myself. It was just minutes ago that I realized something I never thought of before…
I’m dedicating this episode to my gratitude partner and dear friend, Diana. She was my most active listener from the beginning. And she was so proud of me and encouraged me every day. For the last 7 years or so we shared with each other one thing we were grateful for every day before we went to bed. Unfortunately, she passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. Today is her birthday so I’m choosing to share something positive rather than sit around feeling sad.
I was stretching before bed and started thinking about what I would tell my former self, if I had the opportunity. What warnings I would’ve given her to protect her from hurt, from being used, and from the embarrassment that came with pouring my all into people who were not good for me.
Sometimes life gets to lifing and you don’t have space to fall out because you have responsibilities.
