Show Notes

On moving to the next chapter in life:

  • Chances are, if you're still here, there's still something left to learn before you're ready to turn the page.
  • If it's time, you'll know - the Universe will tell you. You just have to know the language and be listening for the message.
  • You're co-creating your life in conjunction with Spirit. It's your discernment PLUS their guidance.


On being righteously selfish:

  • Are you moving in your True North? Prioritize yourself. You're already operating in Love & Light and motivated to achieve the highest good of everyone.
  • Are you still figuring it out? Pay attention to opportunities to get better at considering the experiences of the people in your life.


On meeting people where they are:

  • You're self-referential if you interpret people's actions, behaviors, and words through the lens of your own context. This generates a desire to inform them of your context.
  • You're self-effacing if you see people's actions, behaviors, and words as windows into their contexts. This generates curiosity about their contexts.
  • How to tell which one you are: listen to what comes out of your mouth. Do you make statements about yourself, or ask questions about them?


Raising self-effacing kids:

  • Are you teaching them "do this because people will want you to do it" or "don't do that because people won't want you to do it"?
  • Try teaching them to care about other people's experiences.


Relationships with people who aren't healing, and not interested in doing so:

  • If they're not mistreating you, try to see them through the lens of their own context, and hold space for them to be what they are.
  • Are they mistreating you? Set and keep boundaries, out of respect for yourself. If the boundaries aren't honored, it might be time to consider ending the relationship.


GRATITUDE:

  • Abby is grateful for herself! And that she's choosing to take care of herself.
  • Ryan is grateful for a friend who convinced him not to trash the art he made as a kid.
