Episode notes

i think that the thing that's important in there is to sometimes keep circling back to choice, right? We can get clear on what we value and what's important. This happens with me taking care of my mother, right? Like, sorry, mam, if you're listening, but it starts from a place of like, i care, and i want to do it. And then, if i'm not careful, it starts to start to feel like duty and obligation, cause i forget that you're choosing. So then i have to go, stop. Nobody's making me do any of this. Circle back. What's my value? You know?
