In episode 78, I cover:
Why can’t we halt and just be?: I talk about why we don’t seem to recognise how maxed out we are, including not realising that we are over our stress threshold, as well as the negative associations that we have with relaxing including not wanting to appear to be like someone from our past.
‘How did you go about disclosing your emotional baggage to Em, Nat?’: This is a frequently asked question and I realised that so many people think that emotional baggage and our past is something that we almost need to lay out before the relationship proceeds– not the case!
Listener Question: Anonymous in San Francisco wants to know whether she should end her period of enforced No Contact now that she thinks that she’s recognised her part in things.
What I Learned This Week: I had what some would regard as one of the most awkward and emotional conversations one can have and yet, and it reminded me about the combo of authenticity and vulnerability.

Whew! Been listening up to three a day to catch up. Half way there. These are the best things to come into my life.

Nat I’m so sorry that your father is unwell and you are going through such a difficult time, thinking of you and your family x
Oh how I loved this one. We have so much in common! I too was a wee avid reader.
It’s interesting a lot of my current problems that are eating up my reserves to cope are money related.
I am so glad you mentioned Financial Recovery. I really need to take the time to read this book.
For the past few months you have been with me 3-6 hours a day, guiding me, explaining things to me, and discerning. You are a detective of the soul.
I’m getting near to your goodbye episode. I read the post but am nudging myself to move forward with the final podcast to be BR caught up. This comes at needed time I suppose as the road does not look long for my grandfather. It is day by day. I’m not ready to say goodbye, but I know I will learn something from you about it in the podcast.
Here’s to sobs for me and you! From me.
