I have been swept up like the rest of the country by the Harry and Megan documentary on Netflix. It's six hours of them telling their story. I initially was not going to watch it, and then I was scrolling all through social media on TikTok and Instagram and people just had so many opinions and I thought it might be fun to add my own opinion to the mix. These are two people who have their own side of the story, and all we do is interpret that story through our own lived experience.

People have really, strong opinions on what they have done, it's very divided! There are people that hate them for it. There are people who love them for it. I have so much sympathy and empathy for this couple who are fighting for love. (I'm Team Megan and Harry)

I had so many takeaways from watching the documentary through my life coach lens - In this episode, we discuss depression, how to ask for help, and not shaming ourselves because we might look at ourselves and think that we are weak and vulnerable. Gaslighting, the patriarchy. How you need to be the black sheep of the family if you are like breaking generational trauma cycles.

This is a perfect demonstration that it is impossible to please everyone around you. A reminder for us is that all you can do is live your life by what is true to you. If you live your life to impress others and please others, you will literally have your soul sucked dry because that's what Megan tried to do with no success at all.

The royal family ignores controversy, they pick safe charities, and they do not talk about their problems. When controversy happens they don't explain themselves and hope it'll just go away. The bullying by the media was so bad that it was affecting her well-being, and no matter what she did, she couldn't win. And so the royal family did not protect her the same way that the royal family did not protect Diana.

Their move to the USA was to break the generational trauma and have the courage. Harry had to say - "no more of this, I will not let my wife be fed to the wolves the same way that my mother was." Their move was to create a way to live in their truth and their journey from fairytale to nightmare to finally find their happy ending.

What a story to inspire others to start living your truth. Start living to please yourself, because if you live life to please. If you forget who the heck you are and what you stand for, what your values are, you make your own self disappear by living a life for others and not your true self.

The way you get back to your life force energy is to be exactly who you are, and sometimes that journey can be difficult. Oftentimes I ask my clients, well, what do you want? And they don't know. It's not that they'll never know, it's just they haven't spent enough time asking themselves that question of what lights them up from the inside, what excites them, what brings them joy.

They've been so busy making sure that everyone on in their circle is really pleased with them, that they're not upsetting anyone. That's been their sole focus, and they've forgotten that their sole focus needs to be taking care of themselves.

I hope you enjoyed today's a little more unusual podcast. Did you watch the documentary? What was your takeaway? I would love to hear from you! Message me on instagram or send me an email to let me know.
