I really appreciate how this next generation behind my age group are seemingly much bolder at an earlier age, like those that are in their twenty s and their thirty s. I feel like they're so much more bold and so much more self assured than I was at their age. But I won't discount that I'm embracing myself now. So I'm still good because maybe the generation before me, they did it even later, or at most it might be an individual thing

And these are all things that really help you set clear boundaries for what you will or won't allow in your life. And as a younger woman, I don't think I understood how powerful knowing your values were. I mean, I knew how I was raised, I knew things that were important to my family. But when I came more into myself, I realized that my values were similar to my family members, but not necessarily exactly the same

I believe that we are always transforming and changing and becoming and unlearning and all the things I think for me. What stands out for my past as I listen to you. That really helped me step into myself and my own truth. Which again. I believe is a continuous. Never ending process. But I do know that I'm further along than I used to be and that's what matters. But a quote from Glenn Doyle she wrote the book untamed

Hey, thanks for sharing this. Yeah, I you know, I am 32 and I often feel like I have not yet grown into myself the way I would like to. Like I said, see the way my mom is and other people her age, and I see how self assured she is and how she just does not care what other people think about her. I mean, to some degree, we all do. But she knows who she is. She has grown into herself

All my children, my bio children are young adults right now, and I learned so much from them. I do have bonus children that are younger and they're still learning, but I learn a lot through observation, and I had to take the charge off my own self, notice how I was responding and reacting, notice the things that were holding me back. Not that people put on me, but that I put on myself

But as you said, we can't just live to make everyone else happy. And we are dissatisfied inside ourselves. We have to go to sleep at night. And when we please everyone else and we don't do anything for us, sometimes we may even psychologically tell ourselves it's okay and that we're fine with that, but deep down inside, somewhere, we're not. So thank you so much for sharing. I sincerely appreciate your comments and the reference to the book as well

My mother recently not so recent now, but 20 in October, she passed, and I reflect a lot on her life and how she lived and some of the lessons I learned from her and even channel the strength that she manifested in certain arenas and how she handled situation and say, you know what? Part of her is in me, and therefore where she was strong, where I think I'm not as bold. I said, you know what? She's in me

And then yeah, I agree too, that there's definitely a societal programming happening where if a woman does go to do sign for herself, it's very shocking. Like if a mother goes to take a trip away from her children and people carey like, oh, but who will take care of the kids? And it's like, oh, I don't know, maybe their dad. That's something I've seen often

I also wanted to say I forgot to add this at the very end, but I had a swell that was particularly around women and holding boundaries as a woman and, you know, the natural tendencies to nourish and nurture everyone around you and give. So I gave you a tag or an invite in that. So hopefully you can check it out and we can chat there as well. Talk to
