Therapy taught me about who I was showing up as and why I felt so disconnected from my being. With the right therapist, hard work, and several tools and exercises, I've been able to reconnect with myself and live a life free of people-pleasing and perfectionism (a work in progress still, lol). Creating boundaries and standing firm on them was something my therapist and I worked on a lot.
"Carrying the emotional baggage of others is not your responsibility."
As an empathetic person, it was difficult for me to stand on business because I was already feeling bad for addressing someone who hurt me. Therapy gave me the tools to articulate and protect myself to keep myself emotionally safe, which is now my top priority.

Delusional relationships will prevent you from thriving. It's really as simple as that: the more you put into that relationship with a partner, parent, friend, or coworker who doesn't even show up for you, and you know they are full of shit fr, the less you'll be able to achieve your goals and focus on yourself. You too busy playing the role they made up for you in their head. The question is, when are you gon stop drinking the Kool-Aid and get your head out of they ass and show up for yourself?

I've been feeling out of my body recently, like I can see myself from outside of my body. I can see myself not totally aligned with who I want to be, but I can tell I'm on the right path. Trusting others has always been difficult for me; between failed friendships, relationships, and connections with coaches or professors, trust is something I don't give out trust and takes A LOT to earn. I've always taken care of myself and rarely relied on others to be there for me; my parents taught my brother and me that we are responsible for our happiness and that being solely dependent on anyone else was a disastrous plan.
While it laid out an excellent foundation for myself, it has also made it very difficult to feel like I can depend on others. I'm basically TOO GOOD and leaving people that I realize I may not even give people a chance, so that's where discernment has come into place. Check out this episode to see how I'm navigating this journey.

TW: Speaking about death and loss of loved ones. This past week my family and I had to let go of our pup, Aleasha; she's been with us for 15 years and was my absolute best friend.

I used to push a lot of things under the rug or take things on the chin. All it taught me was to never feel the hurt of others or even myself. Which led me to keep committing to the same cycles of hurt. Creating the space to feel the feels has certainly helped me process things and I’m learning that the process looks different every time. Create the space YOU need to heal and comfort you and little you. Bc their feelings matter too 💜 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theinsideperspective/support

We have good people in our lives that have bad emotional habits, in which case they bleed on us. It hurts, but to grow, we must hold boundaries to let people go. That doesn't mean they have to be gone forever (sometimes they do); they can come back when they've reached a maturity level that doesn't tear you down during moments of miscommunication/misunderstanding. I also touch on self-worth, and how it ties into the shit we tolerate from others--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theinsideperspective/support

Self reflection is important, especially in the connections you share. Within a romantic relationship, it’s vital to pay attention to toxic patterns or behaviors. Check yourself, check your partner, have a conversation and if the disrespect continues … it’s time to leave the relationship.

What does entering your Villain Era mean to you? Do you know how to put yourself first? In this episode, I examine the structures of the “Villain Era”, the importance of boundaries, and of course sprinkles of my personal experiences.
Sometimes it’s hard to know what boundaries are and how to implement them. It takes discipline and patience to make it happen. I, myself, still battle with recognizing when I need to put a boundary in place! Let alone what it’s supposed to look like. Some boundaries look different depending on an individuals standing in your life. The same boundary you have for a coworker isn't the same you'd have for a close friend/family member. Here, I offer a few instances of boundaries I use in my life, with who, and why.

Confidence in your sexual being is important, whether you’re masturbating or having sex with a partner(s). My sexual confidence took a blow once I realize I was using sex as a coping mechanism. This encouraged my sexual healing process where I learned a lot about myself and my sexual pleasures, leading me to have better sexual experiences and more bedroom confidence.
Here I share my story and hope that it encourages you to analyze your sex life to ensure you're giving yourself the best chance at pleasure!
