Inconsistent but he loved us even when he didn't say it

My Bonus Dads

My coping mechanism are likely manipulation

As and adult how does that show up?

Relationship with Self and Self Love

Welcome back to this weeks episode where we discuss

Last year I was in this place of pure joy, everything was sunshine and rainbows, literally everything was bright. That changed a bit this year, listen as I discuss how I am pulling myself out of that dark place and maintaining my relationship with self.

  • ★Light your favorite candle
  • ★Do things that bring you joy
  • ★Doing stuff that I was told not to do as a kid
    • Booty dances (Uncle Luke)
    • Play in the rain.
  • ★Say NO to things that you don't want to do is self care.

My relationship with self needs to be fully intact before a relationship with anyone else.
