Thank you both for being so open & vulnerable. I’m so amazed by how much this episode relates to me. I’ve been in some very traumatic events with family members & friends. Some of the closest people to me have hurt me the most & I realize that I have always been the one to people please because that’s how I compartmentalize. I think that I need to be there for everyone, be the most reliable person, that people can always count on me, but I have also realized how much that affects me internally with being a perfectionist for other people which internally benefits my inner perfectionist. I’m trying really hard to work on myself, which has led to blocking toxic people & putting boundaries into place. I definitely cried during this but in a good way because it feels good to know that there are other people struggling with the same issues. Thank you so much ❤️
I relate so much to you Bre with loosing a friendship. Lost a 30 year friendship this past year and it still lingers and I also want to message her sometimes but she’s so toxic and I’m glad she’s gone but also sad at the same time. Thank you for talking about this.
I grew up with two very passive aggressive parents and I’ve had to work really hard to become assertive in my adulthood. I didn’t even realize I was passive aggressive for years and I didn’t recognize how negative that behavior was. I had to do the intentional work to change that part of me.
I am literally going through a growth journey that is so similar to Bri! I appreciate your vulnerability! Just know you are encouraging and helping other women (me for sure)! My word(s) for 2024 is No Expectations. It’s hard to people please when you expect nothing in return. It’s ok, people do not have to like me! ❤
Thank you so much for being so open with this podcast! I feel like you have answered so many questions I have had for years! Maybe it’s the way you presented this subject, but somehow I am understanding all the pieces I have been questioning for years the way you both discussed this subject! Thank you Bri and Amanda!
Loved this podcast episode. Took me WAY too long to realize that doing more work/other’s work just ends up biting me in the butt- it becomes expected without any compensation or even recognition. Now I understand I can do my work and do it well, but I don’t need to do others’ work or go above and beyond if I truly get nothing in return. Great episode! Can’t wait for more
I hope this podcast is getting good reviews and likes because you both are amazing! Love the real adult talk. I have succumbed at times to self-sacrifice in order to please others….it’s slow going but I’m learning why that is such a disservice to myself. 😊❤
Looking forward to Amanda teaching me how to set boundaries today too lol (I’m just like you Bri!) I have a similar shopping experience but I was with my teenaged daughter, she was in the changing room and I was waiting for her when out of the corner of my eye I see two salespeople looking at me and clearly whispering about me lol! I also didn’t say anything and chalked it up to “they’re just young girls whatever” but not gonna lie it bothered me😩 and I wondered all day if I should have just called them out on it. Anyways looking forward to Amanda’s advice! ❤️🩷💜😘
This isn't super related to the recording in public convo but it reminded me of a situation I was in last summer. I work at a farmers market on the weekends. One day when I was working a random girl walked up to my booth during a transaction with a customer and started taking pictures of me and the customer. I immediately interrupted her and told her I didnt want my picture taken by her and said she should ask next time. She was kinda dramatic about it, didnt say anything and just ran away. Sometimes I wonder if I overreacted but I really feel like that was rude of her to not ask. BTW she wasnt like a photographer for the farmers market or anything like that, she was clearly just a random person out taking pictures of random people 🤔
Thank you for talking about this! I’m heavy on boundaries but my boyfriend isn’t; he thinks I’m just being “mean” & we get into arguments when he doesn’t set boundaries with the same people I do. Any advice on that?
Loved this episode and how honest and raw you both are on these topics

Was this shot prior to you saying you’ve taken a break from therapy because you needed a break from your feelings? (See I listen to you! lol)😂
