It's just a little like band-aid that you're putting over the desire, you know?
podcast-host
I used to be one of those people when I was in a really bad relationship
podcast-host
I used to
podcast-host
internally at least, sort of make fun of
podcast-host
Women that were adored and loved.
podcast-host
Like, oh god, that's too much.
podcast-host
You know, and I'm talking like my teen years in this weird relationship, and I was I was going through so much and internally to sort of soothe my hunger for more, for romance, for love, for acknowledgement.
podcast-host
to not even just be in an abusive relationship, right?
podcast-host
had to suppress my hunger and suppress my appetite.
podcast-host
And the easiest way for me to do that was to like tell myself that women who want more than what I had in this relationship.
podcast-host
were crazy asking for too much, or maybe I didn't even believe that their love was real and that it was all fake.
podcast-host
You have to tell yourself these sorts of stories.
podcast-host
And we do this all the time with women who want more, women who experience more, women who embody more.
podcast-host
And if we do believe it's real and that she actually has this thing, whether it's more money or a or an enjoyable life that she wakes up feeling excited to live, we tell ourselves that she's just lucky then.
podcast-host
Yeah, we tell ourselves all of this stuff.
podcast-host
That sort of creates this soothing balm.
podcast-host
In our hearts that makes the ache.
podcast-host
that we feel for not being where we want to be, just sort of numb for a little bit.
podcast-host
We numb the ache, we numb that gap between where we are and where we want to be.
