“Excuse Me, Am I in Your Way — in Life?” - me LMAO
Okay but…seriously. Why am I saying “sorry” to the chair I just bumped into? Why am I overthinking that text I sent 3 hours ago? Why am I mentally writing 12 versions of a message just to make sure no one’s offended by my breathing pattern??
In this episode of Becoming Wild, I’m diving headfirst (with grace) into the beautiful, burdensome art of being too considerate.
I’m unpacking where it comes from (hi, childhood conditioning), why we do it (survival, approval, trauma... whew), and what it actually costs us when we make everyone else’s feelings our full-time job. Spoiler alert: it's EXHAUSTING. Also: you're not alone.
Let this be your loving nudge to stop editing yourself down to be digestible. You are not a disclaimer. You are not too much. And you sure as hell don’t owe anyone an apology for being your full, radiant self.
Take a breath, press play, and let’s start reclaiming our space unapologetically.
