197. (Solo) Overcoming Defensiveness

The more years I experience, the more healing I do, the less I feel the need to be right or defend myself. I used to be SO defensive that any kind of criticism or loving concern came across as threatening and would shut me down or rile me up. Our spirit knows mistakes are part of life & will readily say I’m sorry but the ego gets so caught up in defending mistakes it ignores the impact it has on others. This episode I reflect on not needing to protect myself from how people perceive me. If there's nothing to defend, it feels so free and that comes from an internal sense of safety developed through healing authority trauma. And since filming this a few days ago I've had even more aha moments--more to come on this topic!Support the podcast:Patreon.com/fkdp (you can follow for free and get updates and freebies from me!)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bevin (safe and secure way to buy me a snack!)Venmo: @bevinbCash App: $BevinBossBuy my aerobics video! ⁠fatkiddanceparty.com/video4pack⁠Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1SJCL864DDKEH?ref_=wl_shareTee shirts: https://genuinevalentine.com/collections/fat-kid-dance-partyInstagram: @fatkiddanceparty @bevinspartyWork one on one with me: https://queerfatfemme.com/one-on-one-with-bevin/You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/SelfCarePartyBlog: queerfatfemme.comSubstack: bevinsparty.substack.comEmail list: http://eepurl.com/dyX3dbThreads, Tik Tok, bsky.app/, Twitter: @bevinspartyFacebook.com/bevinspartyLike/subscribe/review/send a link to a friend!
