Thank you Katharine for bringing this topic into the open. Just like you, one day a friend said “You don’t have to justify yourself” when I’m explaining why I made a particular decision. That was my a-ha moment and I realised it has become a habit for me as my older sister will accuse me of something and make me explain, proof and defend myself. And as a result I always learned to explain myself first so she doesn’t “misunderstand” me. I since realised this dynamic is toxic and draining and I have been giving my power away to her (because for sure I want her approval and love) and I stopped. Our relationship then fell apart as I am no longer compliant and I had a lot of grief and pain about this. I went through this pain and acknowledged I have to become healthier with my boundaries. Please make more content regarding boundaries, thank you. 🙏🏻

I’m glad I found this meditation. Struggling to accept that no contact with my abusive sister is best for my peace. It’s been a grieving experience

Whoa! Great message! This is something my husband and I are both struggling with at the moment. Hopefully we can figure it out and meet in the middle. Thank you!

🌻Thank you for this impactful message. So many of us are people pleasers and don't even know know when to check in with ourselves or if we need permission to do so. You are so right about it not always being safe to provide extra context or evidence for our individual choices especially when in the company of situations that won't honor that vulnerability. This was such a refreshing talk. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom with the community ❤️
