Because I wanted my life to be calm.

I wanted my life to be happy.

I wanted my brothers and sisters to be happy.

I wanted my mom to be happy.

I just wanted everything to be okay.

So I took everything on and I never really learned what it looked like to be taken care of, to have my own needs.

I felt like I was an easy child if I didn't have needs.

And for me, that did come out as resentment in so many different areas of my life because I was giving, giving, giving.

But underneath that, I think there was part of me that just felt like, well, why can't I have a need?

Why can't I say what I want for once?

And that all shifted for me.

When I had my first daughter, because I'd gone through my entire life like this, very subconsciously, and I had beautiful relationships in my life and there was places I was speaking my truth, but there was a lot of places that I wasn't.

Somewhat.

Yeah, I was somewhat.

There was one particular relationship in my life where I was very aware of it, but I was terrified to speak my truth.

Terrified because I was in a dynamic where there was big emotional reactions and I knew speaking my truth would cause an emotional reaction.

And I didn't feel resourced enough to handle that.

That's important that you said that you didn't feel resourced to handle their big reaction.

But when I had my first daughter and trigger warning for anyone with birth trauma, you might want to skip this part.

I had a C-section and my anesthesia didn't work.
