Ep. 212 | [FAVORITE] Loving Your Family Without Losing Yourself

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

A client and I came up with an analogy years ago: she's the unicorn in a family of horses. And if you've ever felt like the different one, the too-sensitive one, the one who just doesn't quite fit, you already know exactly what that feels like.  A unicorn is still a horse. Just a magical one. This episode is about how to love your family without expecting them to be something they're not, and how to stop punishing people for limits they can't help, while still getting your own needs met.  Question to carry into your day: Where are you asking someone to give you something they simply don't have, and what might shift if you let them be who they are while giving yourself permission to find the people who truly see you?  Ready to do this work with real support? Book a strategy call and let's talk about whether the Stop Starting Over System is right for you. https://link.mollycarmel.com/widget/bookings/mc-discoverycall-organic  Let's Stay Connected:  Subscribe on YouTube Instagram: @mollycarmel Check out my Pocket Sages on my Amazon Storefront Questions or want to share your story?
