Episode notes

The speaker reflects on past expectations placed on parents and relationships, realizing the gap between reality and hopes, and takes responsibility for their role while acknowledging the need to honor their younger self.

Abby opens up about starting therapy and the work she’s been doing to unearth and express uncomfortable emotions like anger and sadness. She shares her long-held fear that if she feels and expresses her full self, people will leave her.

In a profound moment, Abby shares a deep longing to truly love herself. She explains that this love has been clouded by messages she’s received since childhood which have led to difficulty trusting others, equating anger with not being okay, and a feeling like something is “wrong” with her.
