Just showing up this week exactly where I am, rambling, and processing in real time here with you.

This one's for anyone who has every been JUDGED, criticized, or condemned. 
For anyone feeling hurt, mad, angry, sad, or less-than because of it. 

We've all been there. Sometimes I handle it better than others. Here's what I've learnt along my way, and how I handled it today!

 In the words of T Swift-- I'm Damned If I Do Give A Damn What People Say

One important show note after listening back: 7 minutes in, I am reflecting on the statement that it is impossible to love others if we don’t have the capacity to love ourselves. I said there are nuances to that statement, and gave the example that for a long time, I loved my husband more than I loved myself. What I meant to say and convey here, is that I loved my husband BEFORE I was able to love myself. 
For me, my husband seeing and loving and accepting all parts of me fully, was the catalyst for my healing my relationship with myself. He was and is my example and advocate in my self-love journey, which has only led to our love for each other deepening too. I wanted to clarify this as a reminder of what Dr. Mariel Buqué and I discussed in episode 7– If you aren’t at a healthy place with your relationship with yourself, that does not invalidate your love for someone else. But as you work to see and forgive and love yourself? You will have greater joy and ability to love others as well. 

Love you,
