Hey there! In this week’s episode, after my usual tea talk, life update, and faves, I dive into a comparison between how other people view you VS how you do so. I start off by explaining why this is such an important topic, illustrating with the amount of energy we waste on this, how often we hear it, and how it shows us the importance of caution. Then I emphasise that we know ourselves best, which means that we must trust ourselves, remember that people only see a fraction of who we are, and contrasting with an observation that others can point things out which we don’t acknowledge. I move on to describing the balance I seek, and all it implies. Afterward, I give a few simply ways you can reach yourself to stop caring. I conclude with a few main points and close off by reading a review.

Hey there! In this week’s episode I am joined by a very special guest, a fellow podcaster, Andrea Cárdenas! She starts off by introducing herself, then we talk a bit about her life goals and career options.

Here are some quotes I liked from this week’s episode:

“Rationally I know that I’m not sharing too much, because I know what is too much, like, I know what’s really really intimate, and I haven’t reached that, but, emotionally, I feel like I’ve gone too far and exposed myself too much”

Hey there! In this week’s episode, after my usual tea talk, life update, and faves, I dive into how we depend so much on control. To begin, I discuss daily situations where we seek power, emphasise that control will not satisfy that deep desire we have, and make an important distinction regarding OCD. Next, I focus on letting go of that desire, and explain that I know this deep down, illustrate my relationship with going with the flow, spontaneity and backup plans. Then, I shift toward how control is an illusion: no matter how hard you work or how much you plan, things can still take an unexpected twist! You must understand that people are unpredictable and accept it. Having covered all of that, I then explain a few ways you can stop worrying about control so much, for instance, avoiding to plan, practicing flexibility, knowing that your life is not a scrapbook, and lowering your expectations. I conclude by reiterating a few important points and sharing motivational encouragement, and, finally, read a review!

21:24: “It’s not our job to always craft everything into the way we want to, you know? It’s life! It was designed for us NOT to do that”

29:45 “When I saw that things wouldn’t always work out the way I wanted, I found a different way to control things which I could control”

30:31: “Breathe, and let things come, and think about how you’re gonna’ deal with them when they come”

30:58: “Thinking of all these constant backup plans because I’ve been so scarred by things not working out in the past”31:46: “I fooled myself into thinking that I was letting go, when in reality I was making these super calculated decisions ahead of time”

32:43: “I think it’s a good balance of planning ahead for these unexpected things, but also not feeding off always having everything in control”

32:55: “You can control things to a certain extent, but, from that point onward, you can’t, and that’s okay, you did what you could”Thanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!

20:23 “We will not have control on everything in our lives, and that’s definitely something I repeat frequently on here, but validation is something that we can have control over, and, funnily enough, we actually choose to not take control over it”

21:47 “Maybe deep down we don’t feel we’re enough. Maybe deep down we are so hyperaware of all of our flaws, all of our weaknesses, so, when it comes to loving ourselves and thinking that we are enough, that obviously presents as a challenge, because we don’t believe in ourselves deep down, so we can tend to strive toward external factors”
