NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

“My journey has very much been about actually learning how to have a really good relationship with myself, because I’ve had so many relationships with the people around me, where I made it all about them, and not about me. And they made it all about them, and not about me. So, their lives went really well because I was pouring my energy into all of them (…) and I wasn’t getting very far.”

“Okay, you’re connecting to what they need. But if you don’t also connect to what you need, you’re not going to actually know whether it’s in alignment with you or not.”

“My experience is boundaries don’t work with narcissists. Boundaries don’t work with toxic people. Boundaries don’t work with any of those sorts of people at all.”

“If you genuinely have to have lots of big boundaries with people all the time, they’re not your people. They’re not for you. There. That’s, that’s it. So, I always say ‘the biggest boundary becomes how you feel’. Don’t skip over that. Trust that.”

“If I can’t honor myself first. No one else will.”

“Every time you do something amazing for yourself like that, no matter how tiny it seems, because it’s actually massive, you open up a new timeline for yourself.”
