Ep 31: A Love Letter to Your Possibilities

What possibilities were you created to make real?In this episode, Dana reads a love letter she wrote for The Rest of Us community, calling us to settle into the unfamiliar parts of ourselves. Because Dana believes that's where our greatest possibilities exist. But to live in our possibilities, Dana talks about the need to break many of the norms we've embraced, which is where the fear of being ourselves lives.What You'll Settle IntoHow the familiar parts of ourselves are a kind of normal where we subconsciously have given in (or up), or think they serve us but actually undermine us.How it is impossible to fear your possibilities.How deconditioning, unlearning, and facing what we've normalized requires fear.Key Quotes & Insights"What you've been feeling is you missing you.""You are the only one who can hold your possibilities and make them real.""You just have to decide that you have the desire and agency to unlearn, decondition, face what you've normalized. It is this attachment that you fear letting go of.""You may call your details ordinary, as in mundane. But maybe you haven't lived in them to find out just how extraordinary, or rather extra-ordinary, they are."PODCAST TEAMHost, Dana Tenille WeekesEditor, Sagheer MuhammadIf this episode feels like a message or mirror, feel free to share it with someone who is looking to think about rest differently. 🎙️ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. ⭐ Leave a 5-star review.
