My No Explanation Era ~ Ep 53
from Up Past Bedtime · host Bella Messina
SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/up-past-bedtime-messina/subscribe I’ve gotten pretty good at doing what I want… but apparently, I still need everyone to understand WHY I’m doing it 💀 As a reformed people pleaser, I thought learning to say no, set boundaries and make decisions for myself was the hard part. Turns out, there’s another layer: learning to do those things without providing a 14-slide PowerPoint presentation explaining and justifying every decision I make. This week, I’m unpacking my newest self-development challenge: allowing “no” to be a complete answer, letting people misunderstand me, making decisions without seeking approval disguised as “context”, and, maybe hardest of all, allowing myself to rest without first proving I’ve earned it. Welcome to my No Explanation Era. I’m doing it because I want to. That’s it. That’s the explanation ♥️ Up Past Bedtime with Bella Messina is your go-to for late-night, unfiltered chats... the kind of conversations you’d have with your closest girlfriends. From relationships to motherhood, no topic is off-limits as Bella, a 30-something mum of two, invites you into candid conversations with inspiring women and shares her own raw stories. This podcast is where you’ll feel seen, heard, and completely understood. So get comfortable, because the best conversations happen when you’re up past bedtime. HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE?!
