Fake Friendships & Self Forgiveness
Do you listen to advice? Or do you have to learn your lessons the hard way?
Today Emily is opening up about her experiences with “friends” & some incidents that happened at her gym over the last 6 months. What her experiences of friendships after abuse have been like & how just because it was better than abuse... didn't mean that it was good. Neutralizing the endings of relationships, standing for your values & your authenticity, & listening to your guides even if you won’t listen to advice from coaches, therapists, & other people in your life.
Dedicating this episode to my neurodivergent listeners.
You are worthy of basic human decency.
You are worthy of respect.
You are worthy. Period.
