Welcome to my channel where we explore the complexities of the human experience through the lens of relationships, faith, mental health, purpose, and identity. Here, I dive deep into topics that matter most to us as we navigate this journey called life. With a focus on personal growth and self-awareness, I strive to create a community where we can learn from each other's experiences and find strength in our shared struggles. Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we uncover the beauty of vulnerability and embrace the power of our unique identities!
I had an avoidant I really cared about and thought was my person, walk away. Something I thought we could talk through, they just shut down. No matter what I did or said to be thoughtful in my words and approach. And he did that quite often. He could be so intense. This was reassuring in such a way that I am having a hard time blaming myself and my imperfect-ness despite giving my all and authentically caring for them. So thank you. I know you were speaking to your people but I don’t know. It strangely put me at ease. And gave me some relief. I’ve done the work on myself in the past and continue to do it always. I’m not afraid to be held accountable. And still felt like I was falling short of understanding and responding to him. Where I needed my emotions and needs met he would bring logic and the clash would bring his withdrawal or distance. Anyways. Yeah. I dunno. I’m still processing it. But thanks.
@@brittany.sherell Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m touched that you were able to receive peace in your decision from this episode. You deserve to be loved fully, with certainty and consistency 🤍
wow loved this episode! heavy on the part where you said if you box and have a specific way you want to receive love from others you’ll miss out on a lot 😭
Oh of course, but, the ultimate goal is build your empathy with integrity and self-control. Demonstrating empathy shouldn't have to happen at the expense of your well being.
i’ve always been cautious of people pleasers because they’ve never given me good vibes… i personally don’t want anybody depending upon my mood to function or what i think of them… this episode was really validating and refreshing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"if i make sure if this person is okay, I'm okay". And that's how they get their validation. Realising this is really key for me because as a receiver, it feels so good to get this from someone. And to be honest it's okay most of the times, but in life we always need a balance. Having your partner to have their own wants and needs are so important to make a relationship move forward, because as humans we love receiving and giving in every aspect of our life be it romantically, professionally, gift giving e.t.c. Loved the episode!
@@CarringtonSanford-n7t Great question! Initially, it wasn't easy, mentally, emotionally, socially etc. But I believe that comes with fighting for your identity because it's the essence of who you are. Now, so many things make sense. This was the missing piece to seeing the vision God has for me and being able to pursue it unrelentingly.
This has to be one of my favourite episodes yet! Nifemi is so articulate, and listening to her journey and the things that motivate her was so inspiring!
Love love love this episode! I loved when Pastor talked about how low self esteem hinders people from being successful. Truly, "many people fail to start because they are afraid to FAIL". Thank you so much for this episode! NEEDED IT BIG TIME!
