EP67: Take Care of Yourself

Hi everyone!This week in therapy, I was asked a very thought provoking question:"What makes me minimize my value and space I occupy in people&apos;s lives?"WHEW! That one hit me HARD!I&apos;m here to talk about what I&apos;ve come up with so far, and where I&apos;d like to go. This episode is quite vulnerable and I appreciate you guys for listening and giving me your time. I encourage you to think about your answer to this question, if this is something you may find yourself doing. Where do you struggle to take up space?Here are the links to the articles I referenced in the episode:https://tinybuddha.com/blog/do-you-take-up-as-much-space-as-you-deserve/https://www.blessingmanifesting.com/2015/07/its-okay-to-take-up-space.html/Instagram: @these4walls_Website: these4wallspodcast.comPatreon: patreon.com/these4wallsTwitter: @_these4walls_Email: these4ourwalls@gmail.com

EP65: Communicating About Communicating - Part 2

Hello!This is an "in-between" episode to talk to you  about where I&apos;ve been, what I&apos;ve been feeling, and how it&apos;s been going. I wanted to be transparent with everyone and just speak from the heart. I&apos;m shifting, growing, ascending, if you will lol. Maybe you&apos;ve felt this way, maybe not, but I hope you give it a listen, and I&apos;ll be back next week with regularly scheduled programming!Thanks for listening!
