I feel like it's an intergenerational trauma, a bit of that as well, that's out of my control, but now when I unpack it, it makes a lot of sense.
That these, I don't think a lot of the women, not all of them, but I think some of the women in my mother's side and my grandmother's life, they just didn't have the luxury of boundaries.
They just didn't have that choice, and they were such incredible giving women.
And I think part of me that's come out in me of going, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
I think there's a way I can protect myself here.
Yeah, we're sweet, kind, happy for what will bring you joy and what's easy and flowing and aligned and connected.
Yeah.
And that's probably even richer because you're older and you appreciate those joyful pockets so much.
But when you can feel that it is draining the shit out of you and you're pleasing and you're leaning into being the stereotypical nice woman that they're wanting you to be, it's like this...

Yeah.
And that hasn't served me.
