Why do you take some things personally and others not? What can help you to go deeper and let this burden down?
This is noooo easy task. And how deep you want to go with this work depends on how willing and how equipped you are to do it.
In my episode, I present four suggestions. These are four reminders, questions, and invitations to go increasingly deeper into this work:
- “What A says about B says more about A than it says about B”
- Is it really worth my time?
- Maybe it’s true? Can I get curious here?
- Why is this triggering me? Can I explore it using a lot of self-compassion?
Please watch it and see what works for you.
I hope you choose to do the work. It’s never easy but it’s always worth it.

On One of The Forms of Smallness
There are those with platforms who aren’t ashamed or embarrassed to speak out, even when their ideas don’t seem to agree with logic (but with arrogance and ignorance – yes). Let’s use it as a frustrating reminder not to hold our voices back.

What Are You Saving Unapologetic Language For?
