When you begin doing deeper work on yourself, the questions start coming: Why do I feel guilty when I take care of myself? Why does setting boundaries suddenly feel so frustrating? Why do I feel like I can't tolerate certain people anymore? These moments can feel unsettling—but they're actually signs that you're waking up to yourself in new ways.

In this episode, I invite you into a gentle reflection process with questions designed to spark curiosity, not anxiety. Through real-life examples, we'll explore boundaries, emotional honesty, self-care, belonging, and confidence—helping you notice where you are on your journey without judgment. These aren't tests. They're invitations.

Three Takeaways

1.    Questions are data, not verdicts. The feelings that surface when you reflect—guilt, frustration, relief—are clues to your growth, not proof of failure.

2.    Intimacy starts with honesty. Pay attention to when your words and your heart line up—and when they don't. That gap reveals where safety is missing.

3.    Small promises build trust. Even tiny acts of follow-through (like going to bed when you said you would) lay the groundwork for deeper confidence.

 kept you safe before.
