Who here has been victimized by Carissa O?! This one was hard for me, but I’m ALWAYS telling you guys to stand firm in your boundaries. To consider the source when it comes to someone being mean, but I open up about how I WAS that mean person. This is from the perspective of someone who lashed out for years, and was unnecessarily mean for years. When I look back I see an insecure girl in pain, who was angry, resentful, and honestly fucking mad. It kept people at an arms distance, and also conveniently allowed me to take little to no ownership for my own actions. I’m here to tell you from experience it gets you nowhere. In the episode I talk about me being mean and how it was basically an invitation into my bullshit. Don’t RSVP to those bullshit invitations y’all! It’s hard for me to admit this to you guys, let alone publicly for anyone to hear. I do not live in the past, but felt it was important to acknowledge that last version of myself. And I may not like that part of myself but I’m so proud that girl made the decision to get here. To this point of truly loving myself, and not identifying with my traumas alone. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Nothing grows from our comfortable places in life. I had to get really uncomfortable and realize that, at times, the problem was ME. Talk about a gut punch. But I’m so proud to be here, and to have the opportunity to share this in an incredibly vulnerable way. I love you guys!
