Ep. 39 | Loving Your Family Without Losing Yourself: Unicorns and Horses

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I am talking about what it feels like to be the outsider in your family.  I share a story about a client who sees herself as the unicorn in a family of horses and how this simple metaphor helped her soften, accept her family's limits, and stop losing herself in the process.  We explore how to love people as they are, let go of expectations that keep you hurt and resentful, and give yourself permission to find the people who can truly see and understand you. Question to carry into your day: Where are you asking someone to give you something they do not have, and what might shift if you allowed them to be who they are while finding the people who can truly see you?
