#281 Being Kind is a Flex

from Walnut Wednesday · host Lara Gieseke

This week I was reflecting on an episode where I was actually triggered by being called nice. I talked about how kindness isn't a weakness and went to great passionate lengths (which I still stand by) about being called nice. But after going through the condition and since being a mother, being called nice doesn't upset me anymore and would not be received in the way I did back then. My kindness is a flex - there are plenty of people who don't have it.I'm so far away from the girl who got called nice and got upset because SHE made it mean she was weak/not good enough. During the condition/where I'm at now came this huge ego death, where I've had to ask and accept help and speak when I need to and I have to trust so deeply that I'm doing ok while thinking of everything that could possibly go wrong - I can do that AND still be kind. and it's a forking flex!
