It's Her Turn

You Don't Have to Explain Yourself


Listen Later

In today's episode, I am going to drop some major truth in the name of boundaries, self care and personal responsibility.  

Around this time of year we gather with family and see many people from different chapters of our lives. Whether it's a random run in with your old high school chemistry lab partner at Target or reaching for the same cookie as your aunt at the family party, you may get asked the following questions:  

  • How's work?
  • Who are you dating?
  • Where's the ring?
  • When are you having kids?
  • Have you bought a house yet?
  • How's that "project" going?  

If these or any other questions causes you to feel like the other person feels owed an answer, they expect an explanation or they are ready to project their pity, guilt or own insecurity bullshit onto you-you're left with a choice: you can choose to engage and likely fall down an Alice in Wonderland kinda rabbit hole of fear (hi, been there, done that) OR you can choose not to explain yourself.

BONUS: I have created a FREE cheat sheet for you to help you remember the 4 D's that I describe in this episode
