"Bag lady... you gone miss your bus, dragging all those bags like that."
We told you guys we LOVE music, as song lyrics have a way of simplifying complex relationships and social issues. This lyric from Erykah Badu's Bag Lady is a metaphor for unprocessed emotional baggage we carry in our relationships, often without fully understanding why.
In this episode of The Second Time Around Podcast, we're back to explore the origin stories of our familial relationships and understand how embracing and accepting them can lead to a healthier connection with yourself and your partner.
In this episode, we're exchanging baggage for acceptance. Makela's story is an example of the power of understanding your parents' origin story and the importance of learning what baggage your partner is carrying so that you can lighten their load by understanding the weight of their story.
