I Miss Breastfeeding, Closing the Door on Toxic Relationships, and Other Thoughts | Solo Podcast Episode
In this episode, I talk about:
A huge milestone in my life, paying off my student loans
How a crappy situation with an ex-boyfriend ended up being serendipitous
Archie is 8 months old and has weaned from breastfeeding and how I'm feeling about it
Someone who was close to me disappeared from my life for 5 years and tried to re-enter but I'm protecting my peace and leaving that door closed
Being more intentional with my time to reduce anxiety and stress
I feel like there was so much more I wanted to say in this episode. One of my biggest 'aha' moments recently is that I can forgive someone, have empathy for and respect someone without being their friend or letting them into my life. This is a great realization for me because I struggle with people pleasing and often times that leads me to getting stepped on. At 32, I've finally learned to stand my ground and be uncomfortable in disappointing people, even if disappointing others is what's best for me.
