“It’s not about you needing to be fixed. It’s about you needing to understand that you already are worthy.” - Barb
Self-love, toxic relationships, and feeling overwhelmed: these are just a few of the topics in this week’s episode of Life Happens with Barb and Michelle, where the mother-daughter duo are back with one of their favorite formats, a Q&A from their community.
Barb shares how she gets through difficult family gatherings, from volunteering for the grocery run to taking the grandkids out for ice cream. Michelle reflects on Scott Peck’s line that life is difficult, and how once you accept that, it can take the edge off when someone rubs you the wrong way.
They then get into how to build self-love and how to keep it even when it feels like life is knocking you down.
Barb and Michelle also discuss:
- Handling toxic family and workplace dynamics, loving people from afar, and building emotional resilience
- Why self-love and confidence take daily practice: from talking back to untrue thoughts to morning affirmations
- How to build a mother-daughter bond, and why no relationship is perfect
- Coping with overwhelm: three questions to ask yourself and “be where your feet are”
If you’re struggling with your relationships, your workplace, or the relationship you have with yourself, you’re not alone in figuring out life’s challenges.
