Embracing Enough

62. Eggshells


Listen Later

Unlearning is a tricky thing. It’s hard to unlearn ANYTHING that has been so deeply part of your conditioning that you’ve barely noticed it. You don’t even know where your identity begins and the programming you’ve been conditioned to align yourself with ends. And if you’re anything like me, and consciously wanting to unpack how all of this conditioning hasn’t been serving you, it can feel like you are perpetually walking on eggshells.

Walking on eggshells is linked to feeling self-conscious and cautious about what you do and say. It feels like being in a hypervigilant state of awareness about the emotional state of others; and it can manifest as automatically scanning others for cues or behavior in order to avoid confrontation, rejection, conflict or that person’s erratic or explosive responses.

I’m not ashamed to admit it, but I feel like I’ve been walking on eggshells my whole life - afraid to do or say the wrong thing all the time. 

In this week's episode, I talk about my relationship to walking on eggshells in virtually every facet of my life and the ways it has held me back. And declare that I no longer want to walk on that shaky ground a second longer.

I hope you enjoy it.
