Bonus Snacks E4: When Poor Planning on Your Part Is a Mirror on Mine

from Reality Check My Life · host Gin Bishop

When Poor Planning on Your Part Is a Mirror on MineIn this Bonus Snacks episode, I share a story about a 79-year-old friend’s surgery that cracked open a mirror I didn’t expect. Watching her resist planning for support stirred irritation in me—until I realized it wasn’t about her at all. It was about me.For decades, I’ve lived without asking for help. Hardwired to go it alone. Irritated at her, I was really brushing up against my own wound: the part of me that still doesn’t trust others to show up—or even trust myself to let them.This reflection is about deprogramming that survival code, learning to lean on others, and recognizing that if I truly want to build what I’m here to build, I can’t do it alone. Healing requires trust. And sometimes the mirror shows up in the most unexpected places.GoFundMe Link: https://gofund.me/a6da0084 realitycheckmylife.com@reality_check_my_life
