    I bought some of the books you said you read, that elevated me to Another level, I thought my work was toxic because I work under toxic environment and my supervisor was horrible, but I after listening to you and lot of reading I then realised that actually I was a difficult employee 😊, my attitude changed and for the past few months I can say I enjoy going to work

    That part about “being vulnerable is allowing people to hurt you” I felt it. Going through so much with my friendships, questioning & digesting a lot. Realising that I give so much & get something different in return. Realising that I love them the way they deserve to be loved but they love me funny/weirdly. Having to sit in the mess & have hard conversations its a scary place to be but it must happen.
    Thank you for this ♥️

    This episode felt like a hug to my soul. It was quite scary for me to ask myself the question of who I am outside of my roles and not even be able to recognise that. And the closest reference I could find was who I was 7 years ago as an 18year old. It stings because although I understand the season of my life, I just didn’t realise I was still neglecting this part of it. Thank you for a heartwarming message.♥️

    Amazing Mpoomy, you are loved, through and through. You have sown love, wisdom, wellness, great life lessons and all sorts of things. When you went blank, it must’ve been a sign that you needed that slowing down and have someone else show up for you the way you have shown up for so many of us. Grateful for you still❤

    The other day I sent my friend a text and asked how can I show up for you and she texted me back and said can we have a lunch date so that I can share what I’m going through…And we scheduled a date, which was on Saturday and it was the most simplest date ever and I allowed my friend to just share as I sat and listened…I didn’t have any solutions on the things she’s going through but the fact that all she needed was a listening ear made me so happy that I showed up for her❤

So I'd rather wait and address it after the weekend, but I hope I get the courage to do it because it's making me sad and it doesn't stop. It's important that they know how it's making me feel.
